Varicose Veins — Advanced, Precise & Minimally Invasive Treatment for Lasting Relief
At Pratap Hospital, Dr. Pratap Duggirala (M.S., M.Ch) offers specialized, effective, and cosmetically refined treatment for Varicose Veins — a common condition where leg veins become enlarged, twisted, and painful due to faulty valves and poor blood flow.
With over 15 years of surgical expertise in vascular handling, microvascular procedures, and reconstructive techniques, he delivers safe, targeted, and long-lasting solutions for venous insufficiency.
Patients choose Dr. Pratap because he combines accurate diagnosis, advanced laser techniques, and precision-driven surgical skill to relieve pain, restore circulation, improve leg appearance, and prevent future complications.
Varicose veins occur when the valves inside leg veins fail to function properly, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge.
Common symptoms include:
Dilated, bulging blue/purple veins
Leg pain or heaviness
Swelling
Burning or throbbing sensation
Skin discoloration
Night cramps
Non-healing ulcers (in advanced stages)
Untreated varicose veins can lead to:
Skin thickening
Venous ulcers
Bleeding
Clots
Chronic venous insufficiency
Early diagnosis and expert treatment prevent worsening and restore normal circulation.
