Varicose Veins

Varicose Vein Treatment in Westminster, Maryland

Varicose veins are swollen blood vessels that become visible under your skin. They are generally observed in the lower body and are a result of your vein walls becoming weak. This results in a blue and purple bulge on your leg. VCTA helps you diagnose the underlying cause and provides quality treatment to support the best outcome.

Key Symptoms

The easiest way to spot a varicose vein is to physically notice a gnarled purple vein under your skin. Other symptoms can include heaviness in the legs, burning sensations, and skin discoloration. 

Here are some key symptoms of varicose veins: 

  • Swelling in legs
  • Cramps at night
  • Bulging veins
  • Skin discoloration 

Frequently Asked Questions About Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are twisted veins that are just under the skin. They generally occur in the legs but sometimes are also observed in other parts of the body.

Varicose veins can aggravate and cause ulcers, skin discoloration, and bleeding without proper treatment. Severe varicose veins may be a sign of chronic venous insufficiency.

Varicose veins are often a result of pressurization of the veins in your legs. This can happen because of advanced age, standing for long periods of time, or genetic factors. To minimize your risk, you need to stay active and wear compression stockings.

While varicose veins can be diagnosed through a simple physical exam, the physician might recommend a Doppler ultrasound to determine the severity of varicose veins. The test can also determine blood flow in the legs and help you determine the best treatment.

Dr Ali took care of the veins in my legs with confidence. I felt she was caring and truly an expert in her field. And I have been to other doctors so I can compare, Dr Ali is who I refer my friends.

Dr. Ali performed radiofrequency ablation on both of my legs. I highly recommend Dr Ali. She is knowledgeable and answers questions so you can understand. She takes her time to get to know you and your problem.

I met Dr. Ali in June 2019. She was seeing me as a result of my PA suspecting a problem with my right Carotid Artery. Dr. Ali discovered my left Carotid Artery had withered away, and my right one was 80% blocked. She made special evening schedule arrangements so that my wife and I could see her ASAP. She spent a long time that evening explaining everything about my condition, her surgery solution and any and all questions we had. I never had a physician take that kind of time to help us understand my situation. She scheduled surgery for two weeks from our visit.

Over the years, Dr. Ali has faithfully followed up on my vascular health and consulted with me on issues related to various major surgeries I’ve had. Her care for her patients and her standards of care and her knowledge I believe are far from the norm based on my many experiences since that June evening in 2019.

Additionally, her staff and tech staff reflect her values and standards. We in Carroll County should count ourselves very fortunate to have Dr. Ali.
