Vascular Surgeryy

Sclerotherapy does not generally hurt, but as this procedure requires injections, thus it can get painful at times:

• Some chemicals known as sclerosants are injected, which cause pain. Especially If they get deposited outside the vein into the surrounding tissues.
• Sclerosants irritate the targeted vessel, causing them to swell and cut off the flow of blood or lymphatic fluid, thus forcing the vessels to shrink.
• If not pain, some patients still experience discomfort or cramping during the procedure, but these symptoms diminish quickly.
• Most patients are able to return to their daily activities immediately after undergoing this procedure.
• Take acetaminophen-based pain medicine such as Tylenol to treat any pain or discomfort following this treatment.
• Elevating legs in an appropriate manner will help deal with post-sclerotherapy pain as well!
