Know the Complications of Delaying Varicose Vein Treatment

Dr. Paulo Huachalla, a medical specialist in varicose veins treatments, frequently receives patients from different regions of Peru. Today, we are treating a patient who traveled from Cusco to seek care for varicose veins—a condition that has worsened over time due to both superficial and deep venous insufficiency. In this case, the patient has multiple varicose branches in the thighs and knees, originating from a saphenofemoral junction with severe venous insufficiency in both legs.

Delaying specialized medical attention has led to visible consequences:

• The skin has become dry

• Dark spots (pigmentation) have appeared

• And finally, a varicose ulcer developed—an open wound that does not heal due to high blood pressure in the veins

This condition was diagnosed using a venous Doppler ultrasound, an essential tool that helps define the type and severity of the issue and allows for proper treatment planning.

Preventing complications is in your hands. Don’t postpone your visit to a cardiovascular surgeon, the specialist trained to treat varicose veins comprehensively. Remember, you can access international-level treatments right here in Peru—no need to go abroad.

If you are looking for varicose vein treatment, we invite you to contact Dr. Paulo Huachalla Coronel, widely considered by patients and colleagues to be the best cardiovascular surgeon in Lima. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we are here to help.

Your health is worth it!
