Understanding Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged veins that typically occur in the legs. They cause symptoms such as:
Aching
Cramping, or
Swelling
Varicose veins occur when the valves in your veins are damaged, disrupting normal blood flow and leading to blood accumulation in your veins over time.
The Power of Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a solution to relieve you from the discomfort and ugliness of varicose veins. During RFA, a thin, flexible tube(catheter) is inserted into your vein.
This catheter delivers heat into your vein, effectively closing off blood flow in the main problem vein. This process helps to alleviate the symptoms of varicose veins and improve their appearance, offering a significant improvement in your quality of life.
Schedule today Preparing for Your RFA Treatment
Before your RFA treatment, you'll need to follow specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
These may include:
Stopping certain medications
Not eating or drinking before the procedure
Informing your provider about any allergies or reactions to medications
These steps are crucial to ensure a safe and effective treatment process.
What to Expect During the RFA Treatment
The RFA treatment typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
These may include:
You'll lie down on a hospital bed.
An imaging method, such as ultrasound, is used to guide the procedure.
Once your leg is numb, a small hole is made in the vein to be treated.
The catheter is inserted into your vein.
As the catheter sends out heat, the vein is closed off.
This process is designed to be as comfortable and efficient as possible, minimizing downtime and maximizing results.
Recovering at Home After RFA
After the treatment, you'll need to follow specific instructions at home.
These may include:
Taking prescribed medications as directed
Caring for the catheter insertion site
Wearing elastic stockings or bandages
Avoiding certain activities, such as heavy exercise or standing for long periods
Following these instructions will help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Risks and Possible Complications of RFA
Like any medical procedure, RFA comes with potential risks.
These may include:
Bleeding
Infection
Blood clots
Nerve damage in the treated area
Irritation or burning of the skin over the treated veins
It's important to discuss these with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision about your treatment.
