Varicose Veins Treatment in India

Michael Iyer, a 52-year-old software architect and father of two, had always been active but noticed his legs feeling increasingly heavy and achy after long days at his standing desk. Over the past five years, bulging, rope-like blue veins had become prominent on his calves. The discomfort progressed from a nuisance to a constant throbbing that made playing with his kids in the evening a chore. His primary care physician referred him to a vascular surgeon, Dr. Chen, who diagnosed severe varicose veins with venous insufficiency. Dr. Chen recommended endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), explaining it as a minimally invasive procedure to seal the faulty vein. On the day of the procedure, Michael was anxious but found the team reassuring. Under local anesthesia, he felt only minor pressure as the laser fiber was guided into place. The 45-minute treatment was followed by instructions to wear compression stockings and walk regularly. Within a week, the aching had dramatically subsided. After four weeks, the visible veins had faded significantly. Emotionally, Michael had felt self-conscious about his legs and frustrated by his limited mobility. Post-procedure, he experienced a profound sense of relief and regained confidence, eagerly returning to weekend hikes with his family.
