Best Treatment For Hand Veins

Treatment of the bulging veins in hands may vary depending on the cause. It is often a cosmetic problem than a medical one, and it does not require any treatment.

The following treatment options are available:

• Sclerotherapy: The treatment involves injecting a chemical, which causes scarring in the vein, thus closes the vein.
• Vein stripping and ligation: This procedure requires local anesthesia, where a surgeon will seal and tie off the vein to close it. The procedure is preferred for larger veins.
• Ambulatory phlebectomy: This method involves making a small cut around the vein to remove the offending section of the blood vessel.
• Laser therapy: This technique involves using amplified light or radio waves to close the bulging veins.

The surgeon may mostly opt for targeted therapy if the bulging veins are due to an underlying medical issue.

If bulging veins are because of DVT, the doctor may opt for blood thinner/anticoagulants to break the clot.

If bulging veins are due to injury, the doctor may opt for antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications.
