What are Varicose Veins
Understanding the Condition
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that appear when the valves inside your leg veins stop working properly. Instead of pushing blood upward toward the heart, weakened valves allow blood to pool - causing the veins to swell, twist, and become visible under the skin.
They are more common than most people realize. In India, varicose veins affect approximately 15–20% of the adult population, with higher rates among those who spend long hours on their feet or have a family history of venous disease.
The good news: with today's advanced minimally invasive treatments, most patients experience complete relief - often returning to normal activity within 24–48 hours.
Common Causes:
- •Faulty or weakened vein valves
- •Genetics and family history
- •Prolonged standing or sitting (IT professionals, teachers, retail workers)
- •Pregnancy and hormonal changes
- •Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
- •Aging - natural deterioration of vein walls
When to Consult
Do Your Legs Feel Like This?
If you are experiencing any of the following, it is time to get evaluated:
These are not just cosmetic concerns. Left untreated, varicose veins can lead to blood clots (DVT), venous ulcers, and chronic venous insufficiency - conditions that are far harder and costlier to treat.
Symptoms and Causes
Understanding the causes and symptoms of varicose veins is invaluable in their early detection and effective management. People seeking varicose veins treatment in Gurgaon should understand the warning signs to ensure timely medical attention.
What Are the Symptoms of Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins can present themselves in various ways. Common symptoms include:
- Twisted, bulging blue veins in the legs
- Visible spider veins on thighs and/or calves
- Heaviness or ache in the legs, especially after standing for long periods or sitting with knees bent
- Swelling of the lower legs, ankles, and feet
- Itching or irritation around the affected veins
- Muscle cramps or restless legs, especially at night
Symptoms can vary from person to person and may gradually get worse if ignored. However, getting checked early can help avoid further complications. If you often feel heaviness, pain, or tiredness in your legs, consult Dr Himanshu for a proper diagnosis and the right treatment based on your condition.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Reasons for the development of varicose veins include:
- Valve weakness or damaged veins causing blood pooling
- Aging – wall deterioration in elderly veins is natural
- Genetics – those with relatives afflicted by varicose veins have the condition more often
- Remaining upright or sitting for long periods of time, which strains leg veins
- Pregnancy – due to increased blood volume and hormonal changes
- Obesity – which puts excessive pressure on the veins
Early treatment and lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of complications. If you notice early symptoms, consulting a specialist at the right time can help protect your long-term vein health.
If you experience heavy or aching legs, consult Dr. Himanshu for proper evaluation and varicose veins treatment in Gurgaon tailored to your specific condition.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
9 Advanced Procedures. One Right Choice for You.
Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on their Doppler ultrasound findings and symptom severity. Available procedures include:
1EVLT - Endovenous Laser Treatment
✦ Most EffectiveA laser fibre is inserted into the affected vein under local anaesthesia, delivering precise heat that seals the vein shut. The body naturally re-routes blood through healthy veins.
2RFA - Radiofrequency Ablation
✦ Highly ComfortableRadiofrequency energy delivered through a thin catheter heats and permanently seals the damaged vein. Well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
3Medical Glue - Cyanoacrylate Closure
✦ Most ConvenientMedical-grade adhesive is injected to seal the vein - no tumescent anaesthesia, no compression stockings, no downtime.
4Foam Sclerotherapy
✦ Superficial VeinsA foam solution injected into smaller varicose or reticular veins irritates the vein wall, causing it to shrink and be absorbed naturally.
5Microphlebectomy - Stab Phlebectomy
✦ Surface Bulging VeinsBulging surface veins removed through tiny 1–2 mm punctures - no stitches required. Often combined with EVLT or RFA in one session.
Treatment Comparison at a Glance
| Procedure | Anaesthesia | Recovery | Compression | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EVLT | Local | 1–2 days | Yes | Large veins |
| RFA | Local | 1–2 days | Yes | Large/medium veins |
| Medical Glue | None | Same day | No | All sizes |
| Foam Sclerotherapy | None | Same day | Optional | Small/spider veins |
| Microphlebectomy | Local | 2–3 days | Yes | Surface bulges |

Modern minimally invasive techniques involve very little discomfort. Most patients report only a mild sensation during the procedure and minimal soreness for 1–2 days afterward.
Weak vein valves, genetics, prolonged standing, aging, pregnancy, and excess weight are the most common causes.
