Varicose Vein Treatment Programme
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that bulge just beneath the skin's surface. They are most commonly found in the legs and can cause discomfort, itching, and even pain. The AKUH Varicose Vein Management Programme offers comprehensive care to diagnose and treat these veins, helping you regain confidence and improve your leg health.
Conditions We Treat
Our programme specialises in treating various varicose vein conditions, including:
- Visible, bulging varicose veins
- Reticular or spider veins (small, red, or purple web-like veins)
- Venous leg ulcers (chronic wounds)
- Venous insufficiency (poor blood flow in the legs).
