szkleroterápiát

Szkleroterápiát, often referred to as sclerotherapy, is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and spider veins. It involves injecting a solution, typically a detergent or salt-based solution, directly into the affected blood vessel. This solution irritates the lining of the vein, causing it to swell, stick together, and eventually collapse. Over time, the collapsed vein is reabsorbed by the body and disappears.

The procedure is usually performed in a doctor's office and does not require anesthesia. A fine needle is used to administer the sclerosing agent. Patients may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation during the injection. Multiple injections may be necessary to treat an entire vein or multiple veins. After the procedure, patients are typically advised to wear compression stockings for a period of time to help support the treated veins and promote healing.

Szkleroterápiát is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for superficial venous abnormalities. Common side effects can include temporary bruising, itching, or mild pain at the injection site. More serious complications are rare but can include allergic reactions, blood clots, or skin discoloration. The effectiveness of szkleroterápiát can vary depending on the size and type of vein being treated. It is often used for cosmetic purposes as well as to alleviate symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and itching.
