Priya Malhotra, a 29-year-old schoolteacher, began noticing aching, swollen legs and visible veins that worsened by the end of her workday. Standing for long hours in the classroom had taken a toll. Over time, her symptoms progressed to skin discolouration and night cramps—signs of advanced varicose veins with venous insufficiency.
When Priya visited our hospital, a detailed Doppler ultrasound revealed multiple incompetent veins and an early ulceration risk. Our vascular surgery team opted for a combination of laser ablation (EVLA) and foam sclerotherapy, offering a minimally invasive solution with no hospital stay. The procedure was completed in under an hour, and Priya walked out the same day.
Within two weeks, her symptoms had significantly reduced. Three months later, her legs are pain-free, and the visible veins have all but disappeared.
“I didn’t realize how much my job contributed to this. The relief I feel now—both physically and mentally—is incredible,” says Priya
