Overview

What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose Veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and feet due to weakened vein walls and valves. They can cause discomfort, pain, and swelling, and, if left untreated, may lead to complications.

Our vascular specialists at Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences (KMC Hospital, Chengannur) offer advanced treatment options for varicose veins, focusing on relieving symptoms, preventing complications, and improving overall vascular health.

Symptoms

The common symptoms of varicose veins include:

  • Visible, dark purple or blue veins
  • Twisted, bulging veins that are often raised above the surface of the skin
  • Aching, burning, or throbbing pain in the legs
  • Swelling in the lower legs or around the ankles
  • Itching around the veins
  • Muscle cramping or a heavy feeling in the legs, particularly after prolonged standing or sitting

Treatments

KMC Hospital, Chengannur, provides a range of treatment options for varicose veins, tailored to the severity of the condition and the patient’s preferences.

  • Vein Stripping and Ligation: Surgical removal of larger varicose veins, typically used in severe cases.
