WHAT HAPPENS TO THE UNTREATED VARICOSE VEIN?
Stating that in cases where varicose veins are not treated, the disease can progress and lead to serious health problems, Antalya MedicalPark Hospital Cardiovascular Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. said, “This disease can cause serious wounds to form in the found area unless treated. If open wounds form in the area, the patient will have to wear varicose stockings for life, one hundred percent. That’s why you should take care of your varicose veins treatment,” he warned.
As long as varicose veins are not treated, there may be serious consequences, says Prof. Dr. said that usually people in Turkey do not consider the heir as a health problem. Referring to the fact that patients mostly resort to treatment when varicose problems progress, Prof. Dr. said that this is very wrong, that the treatment that needs to be done on time is very important from the point of view of quality life.
Describing the stages of formation of the heir, Prof. Dr. said, “The first symptoms become cosmetic. Green veins begin to appear in the area. Then these veins cause blisters on the skin. That’s where the health problems begin. If left untreated, color changes begin to occur on the foot and wrist. First it becomes light, and then it turns into a dark brown. If you still insist on no treatment, open wounds also occur. That is why the vein treatment in Turkey hospital, which is normally an easy process, becomes quite difficult,” he explained.

WHAT ARE THE COMPLAINT STAGES?
Stating that one of the most important complaints in varicose veins is pain, Prof. Dr. The second is itching, said. Referring to the fact that itching makes patients quite difficult, Prof. Dr. said that bleeding can occur by scratching the area. Another complaint is cramping, said Professor Doctor can also cause Restless legs. Besides this, there are also psychological and visual problems. In fact, this is the most complained about issue, he said.
.
IF THE DISEASE PROGRESSES, THE LASER MIRACLE IS LOST
“Varicose veins are an irreversible disease. Medication and varicose stockings can only prevent its progression. In progressive varicose veins, blood flow decreases and clotting occurs,” said Prof. Dr. said, “In this case, two scenarios are formed. If a clot has formed in the patient’s main vein, we are forced to change the treatment method. In other words, while we can normally get a 90 percent positive result with a laser without any incision, bleeding, pain, we are losing this laser miracle in progressive varicose veins,” he explained.

THEY ARE FORCED TO GO THROUGH THE PAINFUL PROCESS WITH OPEN SURGERY
Expressing that they had to do open surgery when the laser miracle was lost, Prof. Dr. said that the treatment was extremely unpleasant. General anesthesia, severe bleeding, many stitches and nerve damage may occur in this method, Prof. Dr. also said that he had been hospitalized for two to three days.

HOW IS THE RESULTING WOUND TREATED?
Stating that wounds will form in the varicose area if left untreated, Prof. Doctor said, “If insisted upon, these wounds cover larger surfaces. Often the treatment becomes even more difficult when these wounds are formed. And when the operation is over, there is a serious wound care process. Success is never one hundred percent. They may have to wear varicose stockings all the time. In fact, if the wound has been opened, they have to wear heir socks for life for one hundred percent,” he said.
