Abstract
Dilated, convoluted, subcutaneous veins measuring =3 mm in diameter when measured upright and exhibiting observable reflux are referred to as varicose veins. Although varicose veins have a long history, current advancements in detection and treatment options have drawn attention to them. Studying the clinical profile, risk factors and their relationships, various surgical methods used consequences related to varicose veins was the goal of the current investigation. The research included all patients with varicose vein symptoms who visited the outpatient department (OPD) or were referred to it. The research was authorised by the ethics committee once it was presented. The research was carried out in accordance with the committee's recommendations. Every research participant gave written informed permission after receiving a thorough explanation of the study's procedures. Ninety patients who met the inclusion criteria and gave their permission were included in this prospective investigation. A male to female ratio of 1.96:1 indicated a preponderance of men with 58 cases (64.4%) and females with 32 cases (35.5%). In terms of age distribution, there were 37.7% (34 out of 90) of instances between the ages of 41 and 50, 25.5% (23 out of 90) between the ages of 51 and 60, 12.2% (11 out of 90) above the age of 60, 15.5% (14 out of 90) between the ages of 31 and 40 8.8% (8 out of 90) between the ages of 21 and 30. There were no patients under 20 years old that were seen. Even while conservative therapy reduces symptoms, it always necessitates definitive intervention. Therefore, the operational line of management should be the initial line of treatment.
