Varicose veins are essentially the result of a lack of veins in the underlying balls. Varicose veins are bulging, twisted blood vessels just below the surface of the skin.

IN WHO?
Everyone can see varicose veins, but women are more likely to have them than men. Varicose veins occur when the vessel walls weaken. As blood pressure increases in the vein, the weakened walls allow the vein to grow. As the vein expands, the valves in the vein cannot function as they should. It collects oxygen-poor blood, which we call dirty blood, accumulates in the veins and becomes prone to Lake. This, in turn, causes the veins to expand, swell and bend. Vein walls and valves, age, gender, family history, lifestyle (stand or sit for a long time), general health (severe constipation, weight lifting, or conditions that increase abdominal pressure such as a tumor), may be attenuated due to reasons such as smoking and weight.
What are the treatment methods?
Treatment of varicose veins should be personalized. Doppler USG conclusion should be applied by combining one or more treatment options.
Surgery: the surgeon binds the affected vessel (ligation) to prevent the accumulation of blood. The surgeon can also remove the affected vein to prevent the reappearance of varicose veins.
Termoablasyon (with Heat): called endovenous thermal ablation, a minimally invasive procedure, the damaged vein through a catheter into the vein specialist cardiac and vascular surgery with laser or radiofrequency energy, the inability to close the common vein is closed.
Elastic socks: supportive socks compress veins and reduce complaints. Varicose socks stop the stretching of the veins and help blood flow.
Injection therapy (sclerotherapy): in sclerotherapy, a specialist in cardiovascular surgery injects a solution into your vein. The solution causes the vessel walls to stick together. As a result, the vein turns into scar tissue and disappears.
