You know that feeling. It’s the end of the day, and your legs are just done. They feel heavy, maybe they ache or throb a little. You might have even started to see them change—those bluish, twisted lines under the skin that weren’t there before. If this is you, I want you to know something first: you’re not alone. So many people deal with varicose veins. And for a lot of them, it’s not just a cosmetic thing. It’s a real, physical discomfort that can make life harder.

Now for the good part: you don’t have to just live with it. The old ideas of scary vein surgery with long recoveries? They’re pretty much history. What’s available now is different. It’s quicker, much easier on you, and gets you back to your life almost immediately.

So, if you’ve been typing “varicose veins hospital” into your search bar, looking for a place that has the right technology and a doctor who actually listens, you should know about IRfacilities and Dr. Sandeep Sharma.

What Exactly Are Varicose Veins?

Let’s break it down simply. Your body has a highway system for blood. Arteries are the delivery trucks, taking oxygen-rich blood from your heart out to the rest of your body. Veins are the return trucks, bringing the blood back to the heart. Since the legs are a long way down, the veins there have little one-way valves to keep the blood moving up and prevent it from sliding back down.

The problem starts when these tiny valves get weak or damaged. They don’t close properly anymore. So, instead of flowing up, the blood pools in the veins. This extra pressure makes the veins stretch out, get twisted, and bulge. And that’s how you get varicose veins.

They can show up in a few ways:

That familiar aching, heaviness, or cramping in your legs.

Swelling around your ankles and feet.

Parts of your legs are feeling itchy.

In more serious cases, skin can change color or even get sore near the ankle.

Things like your genes, pregnancy, your job, or your age can all play a part in why they appear.

Why You Need a Specialist, Not Just Any Hospital

Not every hospital is set up to handle varicose veins in the modern way. You need a specific kind of expertise. This is where Interventional Radiology comes in. Doctors like Dr. Sandeep Sharma are specialists in this field. They don’t rely on big incisions. Instead, they use live ultrasound like a GPS to see exactly what they’re doing and treat the problem from inside the vein with tiny instruments.

This changes everything. It means no big scars, no long hospital stays, and no dragging recovery. This focus on minimal invasion is what IRfacilities is all about.

A Word About Dr. Sandeep Sharma

Dr. Sharma, who leads the team at IRfacilities, gets it. He understands that your varicose veins are a physical problem that can weigh on you emotionally, too. His approach isn’t complicated. He listens first. Then, he uses ultrasound to get a perfect picture of what’s happening inside. Finally, he talks you through a treatment plan that’s designed for you, using the kind of techniques that prioritize your comfort.

What Modern Treatment Actually Looks Like

Let’s talk about what really happens. The old “vein stripping” surgery is rarely done anymore. Today, treatment is an outpatient procedure. You come in, we treat you, and you walk out an hour or so later.

Here are the main options we use:

Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA): This is for the larger veins. We use ultrasound to guide a tiny laser fiber into the vein. The laser gives off a gentle energy that seals the vein shut. Your body simply routes the blood through other healthy veins instead.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): It’s very similar to EVLA, but it uses radio wave energy instead of laser to close the vein. It’s just as effective and gentle.

Sclerotherapy: This is great for the smaller spider veins. We use a very fine needle to inject a special solution into the vein. This solution makes the vein walls gently stick together and close. Over time, your body just absorbs it.

VenaSeal™: This is a really clever new option. It uses a safe medical glue to seal the vein shut. A nice part about this one is that it often doesn’t even need the numbing injections that other methods use.

The best things about all these treatments?

No big surgery.

No general anesthesia.

You can go home right after.

You’re usually back to your normal routine the next day.

The relief from that heavy, achy feeling is often immediate.

What to Expect When You Come to See Us

We know making the call can be the hardest part. So here’s what your journey with us would look like.

It starts with a conversation. Dr. Sharma will sit with you and talk about what you’re feeling. Then, we’ll do an ultrasound scan right there. This isn’t painful; it just gives us a live map of your veins so we know exactly what we’re dealing with.

If you decide on treatment, you’ll be awake for it. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable and the area is completely numb. Using the ultrasound as our guide, we’ll perform the procedure. Most people are surprised by how little they feel—maybe a small pinch and some pressure.

Afterward, we’ll actually ask you to get up and walk around. Walking is great for your circulation and helps you heal faster. You’ll have some simple instructions to follow for a day or two, like wearing compression stockings. That’s usually it. We’ll see you for a quick follow-up to make sure everything is perfect.

Taking That First Step

Living with leg pain and discomfort is a choice you don’t have to make. Today’ treatments are truly easy. It’s about feeling better in your own skin and getting back to living without that constant ache.

If you’re ready to see what that feels like, we’re here to help. Reach out to IRfacilities and talk to Dr. Sandeep Sharma’s team. Take that first step toward lighter, happier legs.
