In metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, people live extremely fast paced lives, constantly on the move, and standing for endless hours in trains and buses. Many lifestyles related ailments come and go, but we rarely pay heed to them unless they manifest into more devere diseases. One very commonly seen problem is varicose veins. Read on to find out what it is, how it can be treated, and how you can pay for treatment through crowdfunding India campaigns.
What is varicose veins?
Varicose veins are damaged, twisted or enlarged veins that are usually seen as red or purple veins at the back of a person’s leg or on the feet. Spider veins are similar to varicose veins. While it is not a life threatening condition, it can cause discomfort in some people. Usually if there are no symptoms, one would simply be asked to take care of their daily habit to prevent aggravating of increasing the varicose veins. In other cases, people may experience pain, discomfort, inflammation, muscle cramps, swelling, ulcers, blood clots, and so on. FOr such people, medical intervention may be needed.
Treatment for varicose veins
In severe cases, one could opt for medical ligation and stripping to seal up the vein. Sclerotherapy is another treatment in which a chemical is injected into the vein to close it. Additionally there are laser treatments, radiofrequency ablation treatment, transilluminated powered phlebectomy, or surgery. As with most medical procedures, the above mentioned treatments come at very heavy costs – the kind of expenses that not many people can afford. Beside the medical treatment, engaging in regular exercise, not standing for long hours, keeping your legs elevated for better circulation, and wearing compression socks can help too.

If a person who has varicose veins is able to manage the condition with basic home remedies and small lifestyle changes, that is in an ideal situation.
