Varicose Veins Treatment in Chennai

Varicose veins may start as a subtle visual concern—those twisted, bluish veins that appear beneath the skin—but for many people, they quickly become a source of chronic discomfort, aching pain, and even reduced mobility. Whether you’re dealing with cosmetic discomfort or more serious symptoms, these veins can impact how you move, feel, and live day-to-day.

Hi, I’m Dr. V. Preethi, a General and Laparoscopic Surgeon practicing at Hayagriva Hospital in Chennai. Over the years, I’ve helped numerous patients manage and treat varicose veins effectively through modern, minimally invasive surgical solutions. If you’ve been struggling with leg pain, swelling, or visible veins that are getting worse over time, I want you to know—there is help, and you don’t have to suffer in silence. My goal is to help you find lasting relief with advanced treatments, personal attention, and long-term results.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic issue—they reflect an underlying problem in the veins, where blood doesn't flow back to the heart properly. In healthy veins, tiny one-way valves ensure that blood flows upward toward the heart, even from the legs. But when these valves weaken or fail, blood can collect in the veins, causing them to swell, twist, and become visibly enlarged beneath the skin.

While some people may experience nothing more than visible changes, others suffer from heaviness, fatigue, and discomfort, especially after standing for long periods. The condition can worsen without treatment, leading to complications like skin changes, ulcers, or clotting. Fortunately, with today’s medical advancements, including laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and minimally invasive procedures, we can address the root problem safely and effectively.

• Caused by weakened vein valves and poor circulation
• Common in people who stand or sit for extended hours
• Often hereditary or worsened by hormonal changes, pregnancy, or obesity
• May initially appear as bulging, rope-like veins
• Can progress to serious vascular complications if untreated

Common Symptoms of Varicose Veins

You may notice that your legs feel unusually tired, achy, or heavy by the end of the day—especially if you’re on your feet a lot. These are early warning signs that your veins aren’t circulating blood properly. Over time, additional symptoms like itching, throbbing, and visible discoloration around the veins may develop.

While not all varicose veins are painful, those that are can bring a lasting sense of heaviness, discomfort, or aching that doesn’t easily go away. Some patients also report burning, swelling, and night cramps. Skin around the affected veins may become dry or irritated, and in more advanced cases, venous ulcers or bleeding can occur. Listening to your body and seeking early intervention makes a world of difference.

When Is Treatment Needed for Varicose Veins?

While many people delay treatment thinking it's only a cosmetic concern, varicose veins often worsen with time and can lead to more serious health issues. If you’re experiencing consistent pain, swelling, skin irritation, or even bleeding, it’s time to take action. Ignoring these symptoms can result in skin breakdown, infections, or even deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Surgical or procedural intervention is typically advised when conservative treatments (like compression stockings and leg elevation) no longer provide relief. The good news? Most cases can be treated without hospitalization or prolonged downtime, allowing you to get back on your feet quickly and comfortably.

• Pain that interferes with daily movement or sleep
• Skin may become discolored, rough, or unusually thick
• Open sores or ulcers near the ankles
• Bleeding from surface veins
• Veins that are progressively worsening or becoming inflamed

My Approach to Varicose Veins Treatment

My approach is always patient-first. I begin by understanding your unique symptoms, lifestyle, and health goals. We then conduct a thorough evaluation, often including Doppler ultrasound, to understand the exact cause and location of the problem. Based on your condition, I recommend a customized treatment plan that may include laser ablation (EVLT), foam sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, or surgery for complex cases.

Each of these options is aimed at closing off the faulty veins and redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. My priority is to ensure not only the effectiveness of the procedure but also your comfort and confidence throughout the process. You’ll receive ongoing support—from diagnosis through to recovery—with clarity at every step.

• Individualized treatment planning after thorough assessment
• Modern laser & RF treatments for quicker healing

• Detailed aftercare instructions to reduce recurrence
• Supportive, transparent communication from start to finish
