Varicose Vein Surgery: Quick Relief with One-Day Treatment at Gaelan Hospital in Sharjah

Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic concern. They are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and feet, causing discomfort, heaviness, and sometimes even pain. If left untreated, they can lead to complications such as swelling, skin changes, and ulcers.

At Gaelan Hospital, Sharjah, we specialize in varicose vein surgeries using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. This means you can walk in for treatment in the morning and return home the same day with relief and confidence.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins occur when the valves inside the veins become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool and veins to bulge. They are more common in women, older adults, and people who stand for long hours at work.

Common symptoms include:

• Bulging or twisted veins (mostly in legs)
• Aching, heaviness, or throbbing pain
• Swelling in the legs or ankles
• Burning or itching sensation
• Skin darkening or ulcers in severe cases

If you notice these symptoms, seeking early medical care is important.

Why Choose Surgery for Varicose Veins?

While lifestyle changes and compression stockings may help in the early stages, surgery becomes necessary when:

• Pain or swelling interferes with daily life
• Skin changes or ulcers develop
• Veins are significantly enlarged or causing bleeding

The good news is that varicose vein surgery is safe, effective, and minimally invasive today—especially with the latest technology available at Gaelan Hospital, Sharjah.

Varicose Vein Surgery at Gaelan Hospital

At our hospital, we focus on fast, painless, and effective treatments that do not require overnight stays. Depending on your condition, our vascular specialists may recommend one of the following advanced one-day procedures:

1. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

• A thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein.
• Heat energy seals the vein shut, redirecting blood to healthier veins.
• Minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia.
• You can walk out within a few hours.

2. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

• Similar to EVLT but uses radiofrequency energy instead of laser.
• Causes less discomfort and allows faster healing.
• No visible scars, with excellent cosmetic results.

3. Sclerotherapy (Foam Injection Therapy)

• Special medication is injected into small to medium varicose veins.
• The vein collapses and fades away naturally.
• Ideal for cosmetic improvement and mild cases.

All these procedures are done as day-care surgeries at Gaelan Hospital. Patients usually walk soon after treatment and resume daily activities within a day or two.
