Varicose Veins Treatment in Hyderabad
Dr. Pritee Sharma offers Hyderabad's most advanced, walk-in-walk-out varicose veins treatment — using endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency, VenaSeal glue therapy and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. With 21+ years of vascular experience and a DNB Gold Medal in Peripheral Vascular Surgery, she has helped thousands of patients across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh return to pain-free, confident legs.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, rope-like veins that bulge under the skin of the legs. They develop when one-way valves inside the leg veins stop working properly, allowing blood to pool against gravity. Nearly 1 in 4 Indian adults are affected, and prevalence is rising in Hyderabad due to long desk-based work hours, prolonged standing among IT and retail workers, obesity and pregnancy.
Untreated varicose veins are not just a cosmetic problem — they progressively cause aching, night cramps, restless legs, skin pigmentation, eczema, bleeding and, in advanced stages, non-healing venous ulcers around the ankle. Early treatment is simple, day-care and highly effective. Late treatment is much harder.
At Renova Century Hospital, Banjara Hills, Dr. Pritee Sharma evaluates every patient with a detailed duplex ultrasound and tailors treatment to the exact vein anatomy — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Symptoms to watch for
- Visible bulging, twisted blue or green veins on calves or thighs
- Heaviness, aching or throbbing in the legs by evening
- Night cramps and restless legs disturbing sleep
- Itching, burning or skin discoloration around the ankles
- Swelling of the lower legs after long standing or sitting
- Hardened brown patches of skin or eczema near the ankles
- Bleeding from a thin-walled vein after a minor knock
- Non-healing ulcer near the inner ankle (advanced stage)
Common causes & risk factors
- Faulty (incompetent) one-way valves inside the leg veins
- Long hours of standing — teachers, surgeons, retail and security staff
- Long hours of sitting — IT, BPO and corporate professionals in Hyderabad
- Pregnancy and hormonal changes
- Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle
- Family history of varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis
- Previous DVT damaging the deep venous system
- Increasing age and loss of vein wall elasticity
How Dr. Pritee Sharma treats this condition
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
A fine laser fibre is passed inside the faulty vein under local anaesthesia and ultrasound guidance. The vein is sealed shut from within in 30–45 minutes. No cuts, no stitches, walk out the same day.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Uses controlled radiofrequency heat instead of laser. Equally effective with slightly less post-procedure bruising — ideal for slim limbs and thinner veins.
VenaSeal Glue Therapy
A medical-grade cyanoacrylate glue seals the diseased vein. No tumescent anaesthesia, no compression stockings, immediate return to work — the most patient-friendly option available today.
MOCA (Clarivein)
A rotating wire damages the vein wall while a sclerosant is injected. No heat, no nerve injury risk — excellent for veins close to the skin or near nerves.
Ultrasound-Guided Foam Sclerotherapy
A foamed sclerosant is injected to collapse residual perforator veins, tributaries and reticular veins. Often combined with EVLA for complete treatment.
Micro-sclerotherapy for Spider Veins
Tiny needle injections for thread-like spider veins (telangiectasia) on thighs and calves. Pure cosmetic improvement, no downtime.
Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Bulging surface veins are removed through 1–2 mm punctures under local anaesthesia. Excellent cosmetic result.
Why early care matters
- Day-care procedure — back to work in 24–48 hours
- Permanent closure of the faulty vein, very low recurrence
- Avoids skin pigmentation, eczema and ulcer formation
- Prevents superficial thrombophlebitis and bleeding
- Improves leg cosmesis and self-confidence
- Eliminates dependence on long-term compression stockings
- Significantly lowers the risk of progression to DVT

Frequently asked questions
No. EVLA is performed under local anaesthesia and is essentially pain-free during the procedure. Most patients describe only mild soreness for 2–3 days afterwards and walk out of the hospital the same day.
The procedure itself takes 30–60 minutes per leg. You are usually in the hospital for about 3–4 hours including pre-op checks and recovery.
Closure rates with modern EVLA and VenaSeal exceed 95% at five years. New veins can develop in unrelated areas, but the treated vein does not re-open.
Yes. Most health insurance policies and corporate cashless schemes cover medically indicated varicose vein treatment. Our team helps with end-to-end pre-authorisation.
Cost depends on the number of veins, whether one or both legs are treated and the technology used (laser, RFA or glue). Dr. Sharma's team provides a written estimate after the duplex scan.
Traditional open vein stripping is rarely needed today. Over 95% of patients can be treated with walk-in-walk-out endovenous procedures (laser, RFA or glue).
What to expect during recovery
- Most procedures are walk-in / walk-out day-care — no inpatient stay required
- Return to desk work in 24–48 hours; driving in 2–3 days
- Mild bruising or soreness for 3–5 days, controlled with simple painkillers
- Class-II compression stockings for 2 weeks after vein procedures
- Resume gym and long-distance travel in 7–10 days
- First review at 1 week, duplex scan at 4–6 weeks, then yearly follow-up
Why this matters in Hyderabad
- Hyderabad's IT, BPO and corporate workforce spend 9–12 hours seated daily — a leading driver of varicose veins, DVT and venous reflux in patients under 45.
- High prevalence of diabetes across Telangana (over 14% of urban adults) makes diabetic foot disease and PAD some of the most common limb-threatening conditions seen at Renova Century Hospital.
- Hot, humid summers and prolonged standing in retail, teaching and healthcare further increase the burden of chronic venous insufficiency in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
- Patients travel to Banjara Hills for vascular care from across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra — Dr. Sharma's team coordinates out-station travel, imaging review and cashless insurance.
