Veins carry blood back to the heart, and valves inside them keep blood flowing upward. When the valves fail, blood pools, causing varicose veins, heaviness, swelling, skin changes and sometimes ulcers. Here, we also treat clots in deep veins (DVT) and swelling from lymphatic blockage (lymphoedema).

Patients in Mulund looking for a vascular surgeon in Mulund can ask the helpline about the nearest vein clinic. Treatment often starts with compression stockings, leg elevation and exercise. If symptoms continue, options include laser or radiofrequency closure of the faulty vein, sclerotherapy or glue closure, and surgery in selected cases. DVT is treated with blood thinners, and a clot-removal procedure is considered in some patients. Risks include bruising, skin staining, vein inflammation, recurrence and, rarely, clots.

Care in this subspecialty includes:

• Duplex Ultrasound of Leg Veins: A painless scan that shows which valves have failed and whether deep veins are blocked, guiding the choice between compression, closure and surgery.
• Compression Therapy and Ulcer Care: Fitted stockings, leg elevation, dressings and skin care that help leg ulcers heal and reduce swelling and heaviness.
• Endovenous Laser or Other Vein Closure: Heat, glue or injection treatments that close faulty veins through a small puncture, often as day-care, and allow a quick return to routine.
• DVT Assessment and Treatment: Scans to confirm clots, blood thinners to stop them growing and prevent them reaching the lungs, and follow-up to protect the leg from long-term swelling.
