Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and bulging superficial veins — most commonly in the legs — caused by dysfunction of the venous valves that normally prevent blood from flowing backward down the leg. They affect approximately 15–30% of adults in India, with significantly higher prevalence in people who stand for prolonged periods (teachers, shop workers, healthcare workers), overweight individuals, pregnant women, and those with a family history of venous disease. SurgiPartner connects patients in Hyderabad with experienced vascular surgeons for modern, minimally invasive varicose vein treatment.
Understanding Venous Disease — How Varicose Veins Develop

CEAP Classification of Chronic Venous Disease
| Class | Clinical Features | Treatment Urency |
|---|---|---|
| C0 | No visible or palpable signs of venous disease | Observation; lifestyle advice |
| C1 | Telangiectasias (thread veins) or reticular veins | Microsclerotherapy or laser for cosmetic concern |
| C2 | Varicose veins — dilated veins ≥3mm diameter | EVLT, UGFS, or surgery when symptomatic |
| C3 | Oedema (leg swelling) attributable to venous disease | Active treatment recommended |
| C4a | Pigmentation (lipodermatosclerosis) or eczema | Active treatment recommended |
| C4b | Lipodermatosclerosis or atrophie blanche | Active treatment — pre-ulcer stage |
| C5 | Healed venous ulcer | Active treatment to prevent recurrence |
| C6 | Active venous leg ulcer | Urgent treatment — combined wound care and vein treatment |
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
- Visible twisted, bulging veins — blue or dark purple, rope-like, prominently visible beneath the skin surface of the legs; the most characteristic feature
- Leg heaviness and aching — typically worst after prolonged standing; improves with walking and leg elevation
- Leg swelling (oedema) — particularly around the ankle and lower leg; worse by the end of the day
- Restless legs — an irresistible urge to move the legs, particularly at night; often associated with venous disease
- Cramping — calf cramps particularly at night
- Itching and burning — over the varicose veins; eczematous change of the overlying skin
- Skin changes — brown discolouration (haemosiderin deposition), lipodermatosclerosis (hard, fibrous skin), and atrophie blanche (white scarring) indicate advanced chronic venous insufficiency
- Venous ulceration — the most severe complication; typically above the medial malleolus; painful, slow-healing wound with characteristic “wine bottle leg” appearance
Treatment Options — From Conservative to Interventional
Conservative Management
Compression stockings (class II compression, 23–32mmHg) are the cornerstone of symptomatic management — reducing venous hypertension, improving calf muscle pump efficiency, and reducing oedema. Worn from waking to bedtime. Effective at controlling symptoms but do not treat the underlying venous incompetence. Lifestyle measures: weight loss; avoidance of prolonged standing; regular walking (activates calf muscle pump); leg elevation above heart level when resting.
EVLT — Endovenous Laser Therapy (Gold Standard)
EVLT is the modern gold standard for treatment of saphenous vein incompetence — replacing the traditional surgical technique of stripping. Under ultrasound guidance and tumescent local anaesthetic (infiltration of large volumes of dilute local anaesthetic around the vein), a thin laser fibre (1470nm or 1550nm wavelength diode laser) is introduced into the great or small saphenous vein through a single needle puncture at the knee. The laser fibre is withdrawn while delivering continuous laser energy — causing thermal endothelial damage, vein wall contraction, and permanent closure of the incompetent saphenous trunk. Completed in 30–60 minutes under local anaesthetic; day-care; return to work in 1–3 days.
Endovenous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA / VNUS Closure)
Similar to EVLT but uses radiofrequency energy via a catheter (Closure Fast or similar device) to deliver segmental thermal ablation to the saphenous vein. Slightly lower post-procedural pain and bruising compared to laser in some studies; equivalent long-term efficacy. The choice between EVLT and RFA depends on surgeon preference and availability at SurgiPartner partner hospitals.
Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (UGFS)
A chemical foam (sodium tetradecyl sulphate or polidocanol mixed with air/CO₂) is injected into the incompetent vein under ultrasound guidance — causing chemical endothelial damage and permanent fibrosis. Suitable for recurrent or residual veins after EVLT/RFA; large tributaries; veins in locations not amenable to thermal ablation. Multiple sessions may be required. No incision; office-based. Complication: visual disturbances and migraine from foam passage through patent foramen ovale (rare); skin staining at injection sites; thrombophlebitis.
Traditional Surgery — High Tie and Strip
Saphenofemoral junction ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein through two incisions (groin and knee/ankle). Now largely replaced by EVLT and RFA due to equivalent long-term efficacy with less post-operative pain, bruising, and recovery time from the endovenous techniques. Still performed when endovenous techniques are not available or not feasible (very large, tortuous veins; recurrent disease).
