If you are considering a Varicose Veins
Veins carry deoxygenated blood. Varicose veins are knobbly, twisted and darkish-blue in appearance, and are most commonly found on the legs. Blood is collected in the superficial veins of the leg, just below the skin surface, and delivered to deeper veins that run within the calf muscles. The muscular action of the calves helps to pump the blood against the force of gravity towards the heart. One-way valves inside the veins prevent blood from travelling backwards. If these valves fail to close properly, blood pools in the superficial veins. Over time, the affected veins distend with blood (become ‘varicose’). The cause is unknown. Varicose vein surgery is the removal of these distended veins. Treatment can be undergone for therapeutic or cosmetic reasons.
Problems associated with varicose veins
Problems can occur if the faulty valves are located within the veins that perforate the calf muscles (deep veins). Associated problems may include:
• Aching in the legs.
• Skin rashes such as eczema.
• Brownish ‘stains’ on the skin surface, caused by the eruption of capillaries.
• Skin ulcers.
Blood clots forming within veins (thrombophlebitis).
Common side effects of surgery
Some of the common side effects of varicose vein surgery include: • Swelling, which may take a few weeks to subside. The feet and ankles are particularly prone.
• Scarring, although scars tend to be less noticeable than varicose veins and fade with time.
• Brown staining of the skin may occur, but tends to fade with time.
• The skin and calf muscle may be painful, swollen and bruised. Unintentional injuries to nerves may cause patches of numbness or ‘pins and needles’. These patches may recover in time (up to two years in some cases) or they may be permanent.
Possible complications following surgery
Varicose vein surgery is considered to be safe, but all surgery carries some degree of risk. Possible complications may include:
• Infection, particularly if skin ulcers were present
• Blood clots forming within deep veins Bleeding or bruising.
