I am 62 years old and have been suffering from varicose vein for the last 7 years. Now it is going to be in the form of ulcer. And doctor advised me to go for laser surgery. What do you mean by laser surgery. Please explain. Is it painful or painless. Please do reply.

Hmmm. You have developed a complication of varicose veins. Now surgery is a better option for proper healing of ulcer. Laser surgery or also known as evlt is safe effective and essentially more or less pain free. No scars. But it's costly. Around 1 lac per session. So you can choose this option.
