Varicose veins can be a source of discomfort and concern for many individuals. Understanding the underlying causes of this condition is crucial to exploring effective treatment options. At MSC, we are here to provide insight into this uncomfortable yet common condition.
Exploring the Root Cause
Varicose veins are large, twisted blood vessels that commonly develop in the legs. They arise when the tiny valves inside the veins weaken or malfunction. Typically, these valves act as gatekeepers, ensuring that blood flows in one direction—toward the heart. However, when these valves fail, blood can pool in the veins, causing them to swell and become varicose.
Risk Factors and Symptoms
Various physical factors can predispose individuals to varicose veins, including:
Being overweight or obese
Advancing age
Pregnancy
A sedentary lifestyle
Recognizing the symptoms early on is key to prompt intervention. Symptoms may include:
Visible, bulging veins in the legs
Swelling
Aching or throbbing sensations
Discomfort exacerbated by prolonged standing or sitting
Addressing Varicose Veins: Treatment Options
Thankfully, advancements in medical technology have led to minimally invasive treatment options for varicose veins. One such procedure offered at our ambulatory surgery center in West Orange, New Jersey, is vein ablation. This innovative technique involves the insertion of a thin catheter into the affected vein, delivering heat energy to seal it shut. By redirecting blood flow to healthier veins, this procedure effectively relieves symptoms and improves circulation.
Expertise and Excellence at MSC
What sets our surgery center apart is our team of skilled physicians who specialize in vein ablation procedures. With their expertise and experience, patients can expect optimal results with minimal discomfort. The procedure typically takes around 10 minutes and can be performed with local anesthesia or mild sedation, ensuring a quick recovery and allowing patients to go home the same day.

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern; they can also impact one's quality of life. By addressing them early, patients can prevent complications and enjoy greater comfort and mobility.
