How do I know if I have an unhealthy vein condition?
Symptoms of varicose veins include:
- A knotty or ropy appearance in the veins of the legs
- Dark red, blue or purple veins visible near the surface of the skin
- Bulging veins
- Legs that tire easily
- Burning, throbbing or aching legs
- Chronic discomfort in the legs
- "Restless leg syndrome"
With spider veins, you may notice the following:
- Very small red or blue veins visible on the arms, legs, chest, neck or head
- A spider-web or road map-like appearance of veins just below the skin
What causes vein problems?
Both varicose veins and spider veins are the result of faulty venous circulation. This may be the result of weight gain, pregnancy, age or heredity. "Venous reflux" is the condition that causes varicose veins, and it occurs when the valves that are supposed to carry blood from the limbs to the heart weaken and start to fail. When this happens, rather than coursing along as it does in healthy veins, blood pools or reverses, causing the knots and discoloration visible in varicose veins.
Why seek treatment for vein problems?
There are many reasons to get rid of veins. Many sufferers are bothered by the unsightly appearance of varicose veins and spider veins. Varicose veins are also commonly associated with discomfort: achy, tired legs, swelling, trouble walking and standing for long periods of time.
Moreover, varicose veins and spider veins can be indicative of further circulatory or pulmonary problems that a board-certified cardiovascular physician can easily diagnose. For all of these reasons, Premier Vein Care is the best answer for anyone in the San Luis Obispo/Central Coast region (including Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Central Coast, Santa Barbara, Southern California, or Monterrey) who has problem veins.
What are my treatment options?
Vein treatment experts such as Dr. Stevens and his staff have a host of vein treatment options available. In the past, varicose veins were almost always treated by vein stripping. Fortunately, there are many much less invasive treatments available now, such as VNUS ClosureFAST. Spider veins are usually treated by sclerotherapy or a newer treatment called Veinwave. Treatments are covered by most insurance plans. When you go in for your initial consultation, Dr. Stevens and his staff will discuss the best course of action for your vein problems.
