Common Questions and Answers about Laser vein post care instructions

I had emergency laser surgery yesterday for retinal tear. Was driving and suddenly developed a reddish black "spider web" in my rt. eye. Didn't get any post surgery instructions except that I would be at high risk for retinal detachment for about 2 weeks and to avoid anything strenuous including bending at waist and/or lifting anything over 10 pounds. I don't even know what to look for if I did get a detachment. Any info would be appreciated. I am 55 yr female.
t given any specific instructions on anything post-op. However, I wanted to know if its okay for me to go on roller coaster rides? Is that safe?
Thank you.
Is there anything I should or should not do??? I was given no after care instructions, just told to come back in 6 weeks. My face hurts like a sinus infection, my eye itches like an allergic problem (I'm allergic to all "cains" and they used something with some in it) Can I take motrin? I asked and was told be back in 6 weeks, no one gave me any instructions of any sort.
A patient with spider veins in the face will usually choose to have laser therapy rather than sclerotherapy. Laser treatment may cause minor bruising that usually improves within a week. Two to four treatments may be required to achieve your desired result. Laser energy causes your spider veins to coagulate and shrink. It is most effective for small and medium size spider veins. Large spider veins respond poorly and are best treated with sclerotherapy.
In this procedure with the help of a needle a liquid chemical is injected into the vein. This causes swelling in vein and collapsing .This stops the flow of blood, and the vein turns into scar tissue. This procedure can be done without general anesthesia and does not lead to inference in the daily activities. Laser techniques can help in curing small varicose veins. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor. Take care and regards!
Hi,
Needless to remind you that you need to talk to your doctor, a cardiologist.If the varicose vein is in the legs, I understand that laser treatment is possible. Please google for ' laser treatment for varicose veins ' for more details.
s best for minimizing scars. Not much is out there on post laser surgery proper care. I was not given proper instructions on post treatment procedure which really upsets me. I did not expect blisters. I haven't been able to see the doctor yet.
Is it best to keep open blisters moist and prevent scab formation?
Thx.
Hello,
There are 5 types of laser hair removal systems. These include pulsed light, Nd YAG laser, diode laser. Alexanderite laser and ruby laser. This depends on the skin type and varies from patient to patient. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for the skin type and then depending on that, laser hair removal can be decided.
I am a 26 year old male. For the past few months I have had a hard vein in the left side of my penis. It feels like it runs from the base of the penis to the tip. It doesn't seem to be going away. From time to time this vein seems to radiate a dull pain.
I'm not sure if this is related to my stress over the issue, or the actual issue, but erections have been less firm and more difficult to achieve.
Facial spider veins can be tricky to remove because facial vein treatments are often limited to Laser Vein Removal, since Sclerotherapy and vein removal surgery can leave permanent scarring.
Laser Vein Removal has become the preferred method of getting rid of spider veins. Facial spider veins in particular were once difficult to treat, but lasers and IPL have made it effortless.
Thank you for your comments. The procedure done was laser iridectomy. I did not receive any post surgery care instructions. The following day I returned to my doctor, he examined my eyes and other than slight tearing my eyes were fine. I returned home and went on as usual. Watched TV, read, and cooked. Could these things have resulted in my extreme eye sensitivity now? Did I strain my eyes?
I had 4 retinal detachments in my right eye and during my 3rd detachment I had sclera buckling and oil put in for 5 months and 2 months after removal it has detached again but now the Dr advised that because its contained outside the laser scar he can just monitor it. So I went for 2nd and 3rd opinion without telling them what the other specialist said and they all talk the same thing. So I want to know if its ok as I am tired of the surgeries?
I have had my left leg operated on 3 times now. They have done the stripping and have tied the the vein off. 2 times it has come back very quickly. I'm not sure if it will work longer the third time as I have jsut had in done last week. I first noticed a problem when i was 17. Just recently the right leg has started to develop noticeable veins in the back of the calf as well as the inside of the thigh. Not to bad yet though but is definitely getting worse.
m guessing your gf had retinal detachment surgery. If only laser was done than that would have been a simple in-office procedure. Is she under the care of a vitreoretinal specialist?
She also need better post-op instructions...most doctors allow patients to remove the patch after the first post-op visit (which the next day after surgery) and the patient can leave it off, although some tell you to put the patch back on before you sleep.
Also use of lubricants is recommended during masturbation or during sexual intercourse to avoid bruising the vein. No other treatment is required.In fact most of the treatment like laser treatment will cause scarring,infection,nerve and vascular damage.So in my opinion,you should leave them as such.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
You might have a central retinal vein occlusion or a branch retinal vein occlusion. Call your doctor to find out what you have and write it down. If it is one of these conditions, then you need to understand that the laser treatment doesn't cure it but merely tries to prevent the problem and loss of vision from getting even worse.
I am a 56 yo monogamous male and for about 50 yr, I have had a small (<2mm), raised, red bulging spot on my glans that looks like it is filled with blood, from a scrape or scratch when I was very young. Last year I had sclerosing of varicose veins in my leg, which worked very well.
my question is basically whats wrong with this one.a few moths ago my right eye was said to have something called espinat or somthing lyk that meaning this eye is a bit blurry when seeing sumthing from a far distance but my other eye is fine.i've noticed that this eye has a red vein and the other eye doesn't.sometimes i feel lyk it's also different in size .
Hello,
From your symptoms it looks like spider veins or varicose veins penis. The varicose vein on the penis does not require any treatment. It may bruise during sexual intercourse and thus wearing of a condom is highly recommended. Also use of lubricants is recommended during masturbation or during sexual intercourse to avoid bruising the vein. No other treatment is required. In fact most of the treatment like laser treatment will cause scarring,infection,nerve and vascular damage.
i dont even like drink. but the question i wanted to ask you is about all these new laser treatments that are gonna "cure" the problem. several years ago i went to a doctor, i live in belfast who used the ipl treatment (cooling gel and elastic band snap) and he told me that i would be left with white clear vein free skin, but i wasnt. he took a before picture. after about 9 treatments and £1000.00 later no change to my face.
The vein is horizontal and somewhat curvy in her right eye. Her eyes used to be clear and now I feel very guilty every time I look her in the eyes and see that vein. Is there any chance of it going away? Based on what I have read it doesn't appear that there are any treatments for this. I realize that this is merely a cosmetic concern, but I still wish there were something I could do about it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
