- Now advanced treatment for vein-related diseases possible without surgery
- Varicose veins: Not just a cosmetic issue—can become serious if left untreated
TIL Desk Lucknow:
Medanta Hospital, Lucknow has launched a dedicated Varicose Vein Clinic. This clinic offers modern, safe, and painless treatment through Vascular and Interventional Radiology. Present on the occasion were Dr. Rohit Agrawal, Director – Interventional Radiology; Dr. Gaurav Chauhan, Senior Consultant – Interventional Radiology; Dr. Kavish Kumar Chaurasia, Consultant – Interventional Radiology; and Dr. Vritika Bhardwaj, Associate Consultant – Interventional Radiology, along with other staff members.
Dr. Rohit Agrawal stated that considering varicose veins as merely a cosmetic issue is a mistake. If left untreated, the condition can lead to complications such as swelling, skin darkening, ulcers, and blood clots. At this clinic, precise diagnosis is done using advanced Doppler ultrasound, and treatments like laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and glue therapy are used. These cutting-edge techniques are minimally invasive, requiring no cuts or stitches, allowing patients to recover faster without the need for hospitalization.
This initiative goes beyond just vein treatment—it’s an effort to bring the benefits of Interventional Radiology to the general public. With today’s technology, even complex conditions like brain stroke, bleeding, and tumors can be treated without surgery, through a small pinhole.
Dr. Rakesh Kapoor, Medical Director and Director, Urology, Robotics & Kidney Transplant, stated that Medanta aims to assure people in Lucknow and across the state that they no longer need to travel to metro cities for treatment. World-class care for various diseases is now available in cities like Lucknow. Our mission is to not only provide quality treatment but also raise awareness among the general public, helping improve their quality of life.
