Varicose Veins Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins in the legs caused by weak valves that let blood pool. They cause aching, heaviness, swelling and itching, and if untreated can lead to skin darkening and ulcers. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, varicose veins are assessed with a scan and treated with stockings, lifestyle changes and procedures or surgery as advised.
Understanding the Condition
What Are Varicose Veins?
Leg veins have one-way valves that help blood flow back to the heart. When these valves weaken, blood flows backward and collects in the veins, which stretch and bulge. Long hours of standing, pregnancy and family history increase the risk. People who stand all day – teachers, shopkeepers, farmers, police – are commonly affected.
Risk Factors
- Standing for long hours at work
- Family history
- Pregnancy
- Excess body weight
- Age
- Previous blood clot in the leg
