Varicose veins affects those occupational groups the most.
Atabey stated that with the new technologies even more positive results were achieved in the treatment of varicose veins: “Until 20-25 years ago, the only treatment method was the surgical method. With new technologies, we can treat it by entering the needle hole and closing the vein that causes varicose veins.
Atabay noted that varicose veins are often seen in bakers who work in hot environments, as well as those who work in hot environments. , the veins become convoluted and visibly blue or greenish. It is the name given to the formation of a protrusion. Although it was said to be seen more often in females in the past, the ratio of females to males seems to be nearly equal in recent times. It is especially common among teachers, surgeons, hairdressers and service industry workers who work long hours. In addition, bakers who work in a warm environment and bakers who work in a Turkish steam bath or sauna are also common.
“With new technologies, we can treat it by entering the needle hole and closing the vein that causes varicose veins”
Atabey stated that more effective results are obtained with new technologies in the treatment of varicose veins and said: “Until 20-25 years ago, the only method of treatment was the surgical method. With new technologies, we can treat it by entering the needle hole and closing the vein that causes varicose veins. The most important thing before starting treatment is the correct diagnosis. We make the diagnosis with the Doppler ultrasound machine. Thanks to Doppler: ‘Is there an insufficiency in the vein, from which vein does the varicose vein come, what are the diameters of the veins or which treatment method are we going to use?’ We find answers to your questions. Along with new technologies, the most commonly used methods are intravenous laser therapy, radiofrequency therapy, bonding method and sclerotherapy. The most common system, which I also use, is intravenous laser therapy. In this method, we enter the problematic vein under ultrasound guidance, position the laser probe properly, burn through that vein, and seal it off. After that, the varicose veins fed from that vein disappear by themselves and our patient is treated.”
It occurs in all age groups and can cause various complaints.
Pointing out that varicose veins occur in every age group, Atabey said: “Varices can be seen in any age group and can cause different complaints. While the primary complaint in young patients is cosmetic problems, the most common complaints in the middle age group are pain, restlessness, leg edema, cramps and itching. In old age, the most common complaints are skin changes, varicose scars, and complications from clot formation in varicose veins. There is a lot of misinformation about this subject in society. The saphenous vein, which we call the great varicose vein, can be used in heart surgery.However, since this vein that causes varicose veins is already enlarged and the valve structure is damaged, it is not suitable for use in heart surgery.In other words, there is no harm to the patient if we close this vein.
