Best Treatment for Varicose Veins in Hyderabad
Comparing endovenous laser ablation, MOCA and glue therapy — and how to choose the right option for your veins.
Varicose veins affect nearly 1 in 4 adults in India and are far more than a cosmetic concern. Left untreated they can lead to chronic leg pain, skin pigmentation, eczema and venous ulcers. The good news: modern minimally invasive treatments offer day-care procedures with virtually no scar and rapid return to work.
How varicose veins develop
Tiny one-way valves inside your leg veins normally push blood upward against gravity. When these valves leak, blood pools in the superficial veins, stretching them into the rope-like bulges you can see under the skin. Risk factors include prolonged standing, pregnancy, obesity, family history and ageing.
Treatment options available in Hyderabad
- Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) — a fine laser fibre closes the faulty vein from inside. Done under local anaesthesia in 45 minutes.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) — uses heat energy similar to EVLA, with minimal post-procedure bruising.
- MOCA (Mechanico-Chemical Ablation) — combines a rotating wire with a sclerosant; no heat, no tumescent anaesthesia.
- VenaSeal Glue Therapy — medical-grade glue seals the vein, allowing immediate walking and no stockings.
- Sclerotherapy — targeted injections for smaller spider and reticular veins.
Which treatment is right for you?
Choice depends on vein size, anatomy, reflux pattern on duplex ultrasound, and your lifestyle. A patient with bilateral GSV reflux may benefit from EVLA, while someone with isolated spider veins may only need sclerotherapy. Glue therapy is ideal for patients who cannot tolerate compression stockings.
Recovery and results
Most patients walk out the same day, return to desk work in 24–48 hours and resume the gym in a week. Long-term closure rates exceed 95% for EVLA and VenaSeal. A pre-operative duplex scan and a personalised treatment plan are essential for the best outcome.
