Varicose Veins

Did you know that varicose veins are reported in up to 30% of the general population? And old aged people are more prone to get affected by them. If you or someone you know is suffering from varicose veins, consult with experts at TeamMD. We are a team of vein treatment specialists.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Ulcers

One of the symptoms that our patients get from varicose veins is ulcers. It happens when damaged veins cause poor blood circulation for the long-term. 

Blood Clots

Blood clots are one of the most common symptoms of varicose veins. They can be painful and may cause redness and inflammation. Chronic venous insufficiency may also develop as a related condition.

Bleeding

When you have varicose veins close to the skin, then bleeding also becomes one of the symptoms. These veins burst easily even after a minor injury. 

Leg Swelling

When veins don’t circulate blood properly, the fluid collects in the lower legs, causing swelling and discomfort.

How We Treat Patients with Varicose Veins At TeamMD

At TeamMD, we combine our vein treatment expertise and experience with advanced technologies to treat varicose veins.

Endovenous Laser Ablation

Here, we insert a thin laser fiber into the affected veins to heat and seal them up. It redirects the blood to healthier veins.

Radiofrequency Ablation

In this method, a catheter is used to deliver radiofrequency heat to the damaged veins, collapsing and sealing them.

VenaSeal

It is a treatment where we insert medical adhesive to close the damaged veins permanently, which is then absorbed by the body.

Injection Sclerotherapy

We inject a special solution in the veins that irritate its walls which makes them collapse and gradually fade away. It is one of the most effective therapies for varicose veins.

Ambulatory Phlebectomy

Bulging veins are removed through the very small incisions with the help of special tools. It improves blood flow and reduces symptoms.
