Head of the Chest ward Dr. Tran Thanh Vy said that this minimally invasive treatment is an attractive option as it takes 15 – 20 minutes to perform and patients recover quickly. The technique is especially helpful for those who fear for surgery, or will have ulcer in leg.
Patients can walk and carry out daily activities after the treatment without taking antibiotic or anti-inflammatory tablets. Their condition is clearly improved.
Annually, around 15,000 patients arrived in the hospital for examination and treatment of varicose veins in leg. One thousand of them are treated by surgery, Endovenous Laser and Radiofrequency Ablation. The new technique offers more options for patients with varicose veins in leg.
Dr. Vy advised people not to sit or stand still for long periods but get up and move around periodically. Walking 15 minutes everyday will help preventing the disease. When a man experiences any symptoms of the disease, they should go to special ward for timely treatment.
