    What are Varicose Veins?

    Varicose veins are enlarged “rope-like” veins (blood vessels) that are swollen and raised above the surface of the skin. They can be flesh-colored, dark purple or blue, and often look like a cluster of grapes. They are commonly found on the back of the calves or the inside of the legs. However, they can form anywhere on the legs, from groin to ankle.

    Causes and risk factors for varicose veins

    What Causes Varicose Veins? Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps, preventing blood from backing up and pooling. When these one-way valves don’t work properly, blood then may flow backwards, causing the veins to dilate (enlarge) and become varicose. Varicose veins result from abnormal inner walls or abnormal valves in these blood vessels. What are the Risk Factors for Varicose Veins?
    • Increasing age
    • Family history
    • Pregnancy and hormonal changes
    • Obesity
    • Prolonged standing
    • Prior deep vein

    Signs and Symptoms of Varicose Veins

    In many cases, varicose veins cause no symptoms. However, these veins are often unattractive and may become painful. Prolonged sitting or standing tends to make legs with varicose veins feel worse. Some common symptoms of them include:
    • Aching pain
    • Burning
    • Easily tired legs
    • Leg heaviness
    • Rash on the legs
    • Itching
    • Leg swelling
    • Numbness in the legs
    • Darkening of the skin
    • Skin ulcers
    Does Walking Make Varicose Veins Worse? No. Indeed, walking is beneficial, suggests varicose veins doctor in Mumbai. When you walk, the muscles in your legs contract and squeeze the veins, thus helping to force the blood to move forward on its way back to the heart.

    Problems if Varicose veins Left Untreated

    • Bleeding – If the varicose vein is covered by very thin skin, minor injuries may cause bleeding.
    • Venous Eczema – this may occur over large varicose veins or around the ankle. It causes dry, red, flaky and itchy skin.
    • Venous Pigmentation – this is brown staining of the skin around the ankle. It is due to the leakage of small amount of blood from the veins into the skin.
    • Venous Ulceration – Ulcers at the ankle.

    What you can do to prevent varicose veins?

    Varicose veins specialist doctor advice few tips to Reduce Incidence and Reoccurrence of varicose veins:
    • Exercising regularly
    • Keeping your weight in a normal range
    • Avoiding prolonged sitting and standing
    • Not crossing your legs

    What patient says about Dr. Nitish Jhawar

      I was diagnosed with gall stones a year ago in Delhi, I showed it to a doctor at Max hospital, he just asked me to get a surgery done and get my gall removed on any date of my choice, I was sacred and too young to get it done I got a vibe from doctor that for him it’s just a small things, however according to for a patient it’s important first be convinced on the urgency to get it done and feel safe . A year later I shifted to Mumbai and started having a frequent pain in shoulder blades and gall area. It went sharp this time. We went to Dr Nitish , as oppose to Delhi doc, Dr Nitish was very polite, first asked us to get the scan done and understand the current scenario, the scan showed one big 17 mm stone which was earlier also there but this time also there were multiple various sized stones as well along with the big one. Dr Nitish examined the scan, explained me and my husband about the condition and need of surgery or else the stone Would have slipped in the panacea or bile calling for a bigger operation. He explained diagramatically . He was patient in explaining, gave us time to think and be convinced. We were ready and then he performed it . It was flawless, quick and went well. He is a very experienced and fine surgeon , he is caring and doesn’t create panic at all rather he takes it slowly and makes patient comfortable. It was lapro, it’s been 2 months I m writing this . I faced no issues till now. Apollo staff was also very caring and good. I would mention Apollo Hospital, Navi Mumbai in specific. Good follow up diet makes it normal. I would strongly recommend Dr Nitish. He knows his job perfectly. He is not money minded at all. He would recommend surgery only if it’s required.
