Ask the Doctor: Varicose veins can be treated in a minimally invasive procedure using laser process

Sleep apnoea can occur due to multiple factors which contribute to the airway collapse, the most common factor is mechanical obstruction of nasal passage due to nasal septum deviation, enlarged adenoids, Sino nasal polyps, crowded oropharynx with enlarged tonsils, thickened and elongated Uvula with low lying redundant soft palate, large tongue, along with receding mandible and hypo pharyngeal collapsing of laryngeal muscles can causing the airway to be narrow and prevent the flow of air in and out of the lungs. This causes mouth breathing, restless sleep, bed wetting, recurrent ear infection which may lead to ear drum perforation with chronic ear discharge. If the children are not treated promptly at an earlier age, they will develop disfigured teeth with adenoid face, poor weight gain and lack of concentration in studies. 

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, tortuous and enlarged veins predominantly seen around the inner half of the thighs, knee and the calf region of the leg. They often can appear twisted and can be found anywhere on the body but are most commonly developed in legs and ankles due to the pressure involved in excessive time spent on your feet. There are many options in terms of treating varicose veins, of which the minimally invasive procedure is a laser process. The laser process involves inserting a small laser into the vein to reverse the process that caused the swelling in the first place. This cuts blood flow to the abnormal veins and allows them to shrink and eventually disappear.
