Aim & Objectives - Varicose veins of lower limb is a common clinical manifestation, which starts early in the life but assumes an innocent course for variable length of time. This study intends to know the distribution, clinical features, pathophysiology and the various modalities of investigations and overall management of varicose veins of lower limbs effectively and to prevent its complications. Methods- A total of 40 study subjects were selected from patients admitted to JA hospital from a period of 12 month (June 2022 to May 2023). Detailed study of the cases were done including history record of general systemic examination, investigation, treatment and follow up of patients. Results- In this study male are more prone to development of varicosity of lower limb than the female (M: F= 4.71:1) the disease is more common in 30 to 40 year age groups. Occupation involving prolonged standing and family history are the main contributory factors, patients present with engorged vein (92.5%) and pain (50%) as main symptom. the surgical procedure of SSFL combined with stripping of the long saphenous vein and sapheno-popliteal ligation was performed in 22.5% of the cases. Seroma was the most frequently occurring complication observed in 10% of the cases. Conclusion- This study shows the varicose veins of lower limbs is more common in middle age group with male predominance, occupation and family history are the other contributory factors, doppler ultra sound scanning is the investigation of choice.
