Background:Lower limb varicose veins are a prevalent clinical problem. The phrase varicose, which describes dilated, convoluted, and elongated veins in the lower limbs, comes from the Latin word "varix," which means crooked. The present study was conducted to assess management of cases of varicose veins. Materials & Methods:75 cases of varicose veins of both genders were assessedfor venous disability score (VDS) and vein clinical severity score (VCSS). Results: Age group 20-30 years had 12, 30-40 years had 20, 40-50 years had 32 and 50-60 years had 11 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). The side was left was 18, right side in 25 and both in 32 cases. The duration of hospital stay was 5-12 days in 21, 12-17 days in 39, 17-22 days in 15 cases. VRS was mild in 15, moderate in 11 and severe in 49 patients. VDS was 0 in 12, 1 in 18, 2 in 20 and 3 in 15 cases. VCSS was mild in 28, moderate in 40 and severe in 7 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The majority of patients with varicose veins had intermediate VCSS scores and severe VRS, and age group 40-50 years accounting for the majority of instances. |
