Leg Vein Disease: Symptoms and Treatment Options

Did you know that the #1 cause of leg pain is due to vein disease? More than 25 percent of people in the United States suffer from vein disease or varicose veins.

Symptoms can have a wide range of severity depending on the extent of disease. Some people may just have a few isolated spider veins while others may have painful, bulging varicose veins.

Varicose veins are surface veins that are enlarged, swollen and/or bulging due to underlying vein disease. If left untreated, varicose veins can lead to more serious concerns over time due to the progressive nature of the disease.

Varicose veins often progress over time and are worsened by prolonged standing, pregnancy, or excessive weight. 

Along with being unsightly and painful, varicose veins and vein disease can cause a wide range of signs and symptoms including;

• Leg pain/aching/cramping

Leg itching/burning/numbness

• Skin changes/discoloration/ulceration

• Leg restlessness

• Leg swelling/heaviness

• Varicose veins or Spider veins

If you are experiencing any of these listed symptoms, you may be suffering from chronic venous insufficiency and likely would benefit from a consultation with a vein specialist.

Oceana Vein Specialists focus exclusively on leg vein disease and varicose veins and are experts in minimally invasive, non-surgical, office-based procedures that produce fantastic results with minimal discomfort and virtually zero downtime.  These treatments include thermal ablation, non-thermal ablation, sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, and compression stocking therapy.

Patients can utilize self-management techniques in the early stages of this disorder to slow the progress of symptoms. Avoiding excessive periods of either standing or sitting can help manage symptoms. During periods of inactivity, extend and flex the legs interchangeably to promote better blood flow. Engage in regular aerobic exercise, and lose weight if necessary

Thank you for the post, love this.
