The cost of varicose vein treatment ranges from $8,000 to $10,000. Varicose veins are caused by the incomplete closure of the saphenous vein in the lower limbs, which manifests as blood pooling in the blood vessels of the lower limbs, resulting in venous tortuosity, itching, hyperpigmentation, soreness and pain in the skin of the lower limbs. In the early stage, conservative treatment can be used, such as oral diosmin, elastic stockings, hot water foot soaks, etc. If the patient’s symptoms are more severe, surgical intervention is required to strip the varicose veins. The cost of traditional treatment is about 8000 RMB, mainly for some routine tests before the surgery, including venous ultrasound, deep vein ultrasound, and possibly venography, as well as the cost of the procedure and the infusion of some drugs to prevent blood clotting after the surgery. Minimally invasive treatment is also available, costing around 10,000 yuan, mainly through laser treatment, which causes damage to the intima of the vein through the laser within the vessel, causing the vein to close on its own.
