Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins and other venous conditions. It involves the injection of a sclerosing agent into the affected veins, which causes them to collapse and eventually fade from view. The use of ultrasound technology allows doctors to visualize the veins in real-time, ensuring accurate placement of the injection.
This minimally invasive technique is typically performed in an outpatient setting and does not require general anesthesia. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but recovery time is usually quick, allowing individuals to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
