Who are Vascular Doctors?

Patients can be advised on different ways to treat vascular problems, including medication, dietary changes, exercise, and other lifestyle changes, by vascular doctors/surgeons.

Vascular surgeons are also skilled at a wide range of non-invasive procedures, as well as complicated surgeries except for heart and brain surgeries. Their primary concern is narrowing down the most effective and ideal treatment method.

Get safest and advanced vascular treatments in India

Among the most common vascular problems in the Indian population are varicose veins, spider veins, deep vein thrombosis, varicocele, etc. It is very uncomfortable and embarrassing to suffer from these conditions as well. Furthermore, if left untreated, complications are also quite common.

Our vascular surgeons leverage advanced technologies approved by USFDA to provide safe and effective vascular treatment for people suffering from different vascular issues.

In India, what are the most common vascular problems?

Blood vessels (arteries or veins) or the circulatory system are involved in vascular problems.

Vascular problems include the following:

Varicose Veins - Legs are commonly afflicted by varicose veins because they are unsightly and protruding, causing severe pain and heaviness. Excessive pressure damages the vein valves responsible for maintaining unidirectional blood flow, resulting in varicose veins. As a result, blood pools inside veins and causes them to swell and distend.

Spider Veins - The spider veins are thin, thread like veins that appear slightly raised above the surface of the skin. Spider veins are reddish-purple in colour, resembling spider webs. They cause itching, warmth, skin infections, and so on. Spider veins may not appear dangerous at first, but the condition becomes more severe over time.

Deep vein thrombosis - When blood is slow or pools inside damaged veins, deep vein thrombosis occurs, causing the blood cells to stick together. Blood clots are most common in the legs and pelvic area due to damaged veins. A deep vein thrombosis is a serious vascular disorder that requires immediate medical attention to prevent any life-threatening complications.

Diabetic foot ulcer - A diabetic foot ulcer usually starts with a small blister, cut or injury to the foot. It is possible for the foot ulcer to develop if the blood sugar is uncontrolled and the nerves and arteries are damaged. A severe foot ulcer may even require amputation in severe cases. This results in ulcer formation in the foot.

Varicose - The condition is similar to varicose veins in the scrotum. It occurs when the scrotal veins become swollen due to blood pooling. It causes dull pain and can affect a male's fertility in the long run. As a result, varicocele must be treated in a timely manner.

Here are some quick facts about the prevalence of vascular problems in India

Every year, nearly 10 million Indians suffer from varicose veins, which are more common among women and the elderly.

Around 30 percent of varicoceles are associated with fertility problems.

Around 15% of Indians suffer from diabetic foot ulcers.

How often should a person visit a good vascular doctor near them?

If you visit a vascular specialist once or twice a year for regular checkups, you will be able to diagnose any vascular issue at an early stage, saving you from any troublesome symptoms later on.

It is imperative that you visit a good vascular specialist on a regular basis if you are experiencing symptoms or have been diagnosed with a vascular problem. If you consult your doctor at the right time, the treatment will be less complicated and you will be less likely to experience serious complications.

(Diabetics should not skip any routine check-ups with their doctors or visit a podiatrist if or when they notice a wound on their feet.)
