 About
Venous Disease -
It is estimated that up to 60% of the
adult population in the United States
will develop some kind of venous disease
in their lifetime. From the mild, burning
pain of simple spider veins to the development
of huge protruding varicosities, venous
disease is becoming increasingly commonplace
among both men and women. With advances
in laser and ultrasound technology, treating
varicose and spider veins has become extraordinarily
low risk, pain free, and hassle free with
very little or no down time.
Factors
that contribute to varicose vein disease:
Heredity
Hormonal- Pregnancy, Birth control, Menstrual
Cycle, Estrogen Therapy
Prolonged Standing
Prolonged Sitting
Obesity
Binding clothing – tight underwear- girdles
There
are always exceptions to the rule and
many patients present without any of the
mentioned contributing factors. Whether
you have a simple cosmetic issue or a
serious medical condition, there are many
options available today to treat venous
disease.
