Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition in which the veins in the legs are unable to efficiently return blood to the heart. This inefficiency is often due to weakened or damaged valves within the veins. These valves are responsible for ensuring that blood flows in one direction—towards the heart. When these valves fail, blood can flow backward (reflux) and pool in the legs, leading to a variety of symptoms and potential complications.
In a healthy vein, the valves open to allow blood to flow towards the heart and close to prevent it from flowing backward. In CVI, these valves do not function properly, causing blood to leak backward and collect in the veins. This can lead to increased pressure in the veins, which may cause the veins to become enlarged, twisted, or varicose.
Swelling in the lower legs and ankles.
Aching or a heavy feeling in the legs.
Discoloration, especially near the ankles.
Open sores, usually around the ankles, that are slow to heal.
Swollen, twisted veins visible under the skin.
Sensations in the affected areas.
Examination of visible symptoms such as swelling and varicose veins.
Checking for skin changes, ulcers, and other signs of CVI.
To see if the valves in your veins are functioning normally or if there’s any evidence of reversal of flow within the veins and quantity for reflux.
X-ray test using contrast dye to view the veins in detail.
Image guided ultrasound is performed to precisely locate the iliac femoral, popliteal and/or tibial vein compression.
Varicose veins can be effectively managed and treated through a combination of lifestyle changes and medical treatments.
Conservative Medical Management offers variety of lifestyle changes including:
Regular physical activity can improve circulation.
Maintaining a healthy weight reduces pressure on the veins.
Specially designed stockings that apply pressure to the legs, helping veins and muscles move blood more efficiently. They can help reduce symptoms and prevent the progression of varicose veins.
Raising your legs can help improve blood flow.
Take breaks to move around.
Such as diuretics to reduce swelling, and blood thinners to prevent or treat blood clots
Minimally Invasive Procedures focus on modern non-surgical techniques to seal off the damaged veins, which then redirect the blood to healthy veins. A few common procedures are:
A solution is injected into the varicose veins, causing them to collapse and fade. This is effective for small to medium-sized varicose veins and spider veins.
A catheter is inserted into the vein, and radiofrequency energy is used to heat and close off the vein. This is minimally invasive with a short recovery time.
Non-invasive and effective for medium to large veins, this uses laser energy to close off smaller varicose veins and spider veins.
This is a non-thermal procedure used to treat varicose veins that combines mechanical and chemical treatments to close a vein.

Dr. Singha has helped me out so much. I have seen five different doctors and all of them kept offering the same option to get a myomectomy done but I knew there had to be a better option out there. A huge thanks to my primary doctor who introduced me to Dr. Singha. As soon as I received my first consultation I could already see that Dr. Singha knew exactly what he was doing and talking about, I was able to trust him right away. The staff has been the best and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Now it has been a few months that I have received the UFE procedure and I can already tell the difference in my periods. Very light bleeding and almost no cramps at all. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Singha and all the staff who has been very supportive.
I’m very grateful with Dr. Singha’s office. The doctor and his staff and Ms. Sandra are very attentive and professional.
Dr. Singha is really very nice and explained everything very well. Ms. Sandra is always pleasant to speak to and does not get upset when I call her multiple times with the same questions over and over.
This office inspires me confidently.
Awesome staff and Doctor couldn’t get my praise more. The Doctor gave his time and knowledge to diagnose me and helped me with everything. Staff was so sweet and helpful. Best Doctor and Staff.
Dr. Singha and staff have been great from the start. Have had several procedures and all have been great. Very professional and courteous staff. Very satisfied with level of care.
I had several vein surgeries. Professional and helpful staff here. Very happy with the level of care.
His office provides vascular & interventional radiology. From the moment I walked in service and care was exceptional. The person at the front desk, the assistants and the doctor were both professional and very kind and friendly. Dr. Singha took his time to explain everything in terms I could understand. He even explained results about something I was told at my primary’s office which I didn’t understand. For both things he showed me as he explained on the screen on the laptop. He made sure I completely understood, how severe or mild things were and what to do. He was the most thorough and patient doctor I’ve ever been to in my over 60 years of life.
