RECOGNISE THE SIGNS
Is it just tired legs, or something more?
Varicose veins rarely stay cosmetic. Left untreated, faulty veins put increasing pressure on the skin and tissue below. If more than one of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a proper vein assessment.
- Bulging, twisted, rope-like veins — Usually on the calves or inner thigh
- Heaviness or aching by evening — Worse after standing or sitting for long hours
- Swelling around the ankles — Often more noticeable towards the end of the day
- Itching or burning near veins — Can be mistaken for a skin condition
- Nighttime leg cramps — Disrupted sleep from restless, cramping legs
- Skin discolouration or ulcers — A sign of longstanding, advanced venous disease
A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT
Traditional stripping surgery is rarely the first answer anymore.
Dr. Monish’s approach begins with the least invasive option that will actually work when it’s truly the safer or more effective route.
Conventional — Vein Stripping Surgery
- Anaesthesia: General or spinal
- Incisions: Multiple cuts along the leg
- Hospital stay: Usually 1–2 nights
- Recovery: 2–3 weeks before normal activity
- Scarring: Visible surgical scars
Dr. Monish's approach — Image-Guided Ablation
- Anaesthesia: Local, patient awake throughout
- Incisions: A single pinhole entry point
- Hospital stay: Day care, go home the same evening
- Recovery: Start with your regular work the same day
- Scarring: No scar/mark on the leg
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Matched to how your veins actually behave.
A venous Doppler scan shows exactly which veins are refluxing and how severely. Dr. Monish recommends a technique, or combination, based on that map — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA)
A fine laser fibre is guided into the faulty vein under ultrasound. Heat energy seals the vein shut, and blood is naturally rerouted through healthy veins nearby.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
Similar principle to laser ablation, using controlled radiofrequency energy. Often preferred for larger trunk veins, done in under an hour as a day-care procedure.
Medical Glue Injection
A minimally invasive treatment that uses medical adhesive to seal the problematic vein. No heat is required, and it may allow faster recovery with minimal discomfort for selected patients.
Foam
Sclerotherapy
A sclerosant solution is injected into smaller, residual, or branch veins — commonly used alongside ablation to treat visible surface veins.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Consultation & venous Doppler scan
Dr. Monish examines your legs and performs an ultrasound Doppler scan to map which veins are refluxing and how far the disease has progressed.
A treatment plan, explained plainly
He walks you through the options in plain language what each involves, expected recovery, and cost and recommends the least invasive route that will genuinely work.
Day-care procedure
Most procedures take 30–60 minutes under local anaesthesia. You're awake, comfortable, and able to see the ultrasound-guided process yourself if you'd like to.
Home the same day, follow-up scan later
You walk out a few hours later with compression stockings on. A follow-up scan confirms the treated vein has closed and healed as expected.
From first visit to walking out the same day.

frequently asked questions
Is varicose vein treatment painful?
Modern image-guided procedures like laser and radiofrequency ablation are done under local anaesthesia. Most patients feel mild pressure rather than pain, and are back on their feet the same day.
How much does varicose vein treatment cost in Bangalore?
Cost depends on the number of veins involved, the technique used, and whether one or both legs need treatment. Dr. Monish gives an exact estimate only after your consultation and Doppler scan — be cautious of any clinic quoting a price without one.
Will I need to be hospitalized?
No. Almost all varicose vein procedures are performed as day-care treatments — you’re discharged the same evening.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients resume desk-based work within 1–2 days and normal activity within a week, wearing compression stockings as advised.
Will the varicose veins come back after treatment?
Ablation techniques close the faulty vein permanently. New veins can occasionally develop over the years, which is why a follow-up scan and periodic review are recommended.
Is the treatment covered by insurance?
Many insurers do cover varicose vein procedures when there’s a documented medical indication, not just cosmetic concern. The clinic team can help you check your specific policy.
