Varicose Veins

About Varicose Veins at Kayakriti

Varicose veins are dilated, twisted superficial veins that typically appear on the legs as bluish, snake-like cords beneath the skin. They may decrease in size when the legs are elevated. While many cases remain asymptomatic, some patients report calf fatigue, heaviness, or aching pain. At Kayakriti, our leg vein treatment focuses on identifying these signs early to prevent progression and protect daily comfort.

The underlying cause involves weakened or damaged one-way valves within the veins. Healthy valves keep blood flowing toward the heart, but when they fail, blood pools backward against gravity. This pressure stretches vein walls, leading to spider veins and eventually visible varicosities. Dr. Agarwal evaluates valve function and reflux carefully before recommending vein removal treatment, ensuring decisions match each patient's vascular anatomy and lifestyle.

Risk factors include prolonged standing occupations, family history, pregnancy, obesity, and advancing age. Untreated, varicose veins can lead to complications such as bleeding from minor knocks, superficial thrombophlebitis, skin discolouration, or venous ulcers. Our vascular surgery assessment includes a clinical examination and, where indicated, duplex ultrasound to map affected veins and plan a measured, conservative course of management at our Lucknow clinic.

Treatment at Kayakriti is individualised. Options range from compression and lifestyle measures to laser vein treatment and surgical stripping for advanced disease. Sclerotherapy injections may be offered for smaller veins. Preventive guidance such as weight management, regular movement, leg elevation, and avoiding prolonged standing is shared with every patient to reduce recurrence and support long-term venous health.
