Varicose Veins – Symptoms, Causes & Modern Laser Treatment in Thane
By Dr. Ankur Bhanushali – General, Laparoscopic & Laser Surgeon
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, and enlarged veins—most commonly affecting the legs. They can cause pain, heaviness, cramps, and long-term complications if untreated. Modern laser varicose vein treatment (EVLT) offers a safe, minimally invasive, and effective solution with excellent cosmetic results.
At Aayush Multispeciality Hospital, Panch Pakhdi and Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, Charai, advanced diagnosis and laser procedures are available for quick recovery and long-lasting relief.
🔍 What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins occur when the valves inside leg veins weaken, causing blood to pool. This increases pressure, leading to bulging and enlarged veins visible under the skin.
They may appear:
- Blue, purple, or dark veins
- Swollen or rope-like
- Visible on thighs, calves, ankles
⚠️ Why Do Varicose Veins Occur?
Common causes include:
✔ Prolonged standing or sitting
✔ Pregnancy
✔ Obesity
✔ Age-related vein weakness
✔ Family history
✔ Lack of exercise
✔ Hormonal changes
✔ Prior leg injury
🩺 Common Symptoms
- Leg pain or heaviness
- Swelling in feet/ankles
- Night cramps
- Burning or throbbing sensation
- Itching around veins
- Skin darkening (advanced)

- Non-healing ulcers (late stage)
Ignoring symptoms can lead to complications such as bleeding, clots, or skin damage.
