Dr Ravul Jindal of Fortis Mohali treats complex varicose veins patients via advanced Foam Sclerotherapy & laser treatment

– Procedure is less painful and lasts about 30 minutes; patients discharged on the same day

 

Hoshiarpur, June 18, 2022: Dinesh Kumar, a 45-year-old man from Hoshiarpur, was facing a challenging time as he was suffering from left leg varicose veins (swollen and tortuous veins) along with leg ache, heaviness and swelling. His health condition had not only caused acute cramps in the legs, but also restricted his mobility.

Unable to bear the pain and discomfort, the Patient approached Dr Ravul Jindal, Director, Vascular Surgery, Fortis Hospital Mohali, on 9th May this year.

A Doppler ultrasound scan revealed impaired valves in the left leg and darkening of the skin, known as Stage C2-C3, which is characterized by acute swelling in the legs (Edema). A delay in treatment would have caused chronic ulcers in the Patient’s leg.

The team of doctors led by Dr Jindal conducted Foam Sclerotherapy and laser treatment of the diseased vein. Foam Sclerotherapy is used to treat bulging varicose veins and spider veins. The Patientwas discharged on the same day of the procedure and was able to walk without any support. He has recovered and leading a normal life today.

Discussing the case, Dr Jindal, said, “Varicose veins can occur in any part of the leg, but are mostly found on thighs and calves due to strenuous and long hours of continuous standing. The disease marks indication of a malfunction of venous system and should be evaluated by a vascular surgery specialist.”

Stating that varicose can be treated successfully through the latest technological advancements, Dr Jindal, added, “A wide range of advanced treatment options are available for varicose veins. The procedure is less painful and takes about 30 minutes. A patient has an early recovery and can go home within an hour of the procedure. Also, there are fewer medications and post-procedure care.”
