Are you embarrassed by unsightly veins on your legs, hands or face? Are your legs tired and achy at the end of the day? Do you experience pain, skin discoloration, or even bleeding in or around your veins? Worried about blue veins, bulging veins, enlarged veins or leg swelling? If any of these apply to you, you may want to explore our site for information on risk factors, vein symptoms and possible ways to prevent varicose veins and spider veins. Many people are surprised to find out that vein conditions are often more than just a cosmetic concern and frequently a serious medical issue.
Vein conditions vary greatly in appearance and severity. The symptoms you see can be a signal of a larger underlying vein disease. Only a comprehensive vein specialist can tell for sure, using tools like non-invasive ultrasound to visualize your veins and determine the extent of any problem. If you do have vein disease, it's important that the underlying cause be treated and not just the symptom, or your disease may persist. A number of different vein conditions are discussed on this website including: Varicose Veins, Spider Veins, Venous Leg Ulcers, Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
Recently the American Medical Association officially recognized phlebology - the diagnosis and treatment of vein disease - as an approved medical specialty, signaling the increased awareness in the medical community of the severity of vein disease and the outstanding advances in treatment that have occurred. Be sure to seek the advice of a trained vein specialist when seeking diagnosis and treatment of your vein condition.
