How do I know if I have vein disease?
Symptoms of varicose veins, a very common condition in adults, include the following:
- Purple, dark red or blue leg veins easily visible at the skin’s surface
- Leg veins that appear ropy, bulging or knotty
- Legs that ache, throb or feel generally uncomfortable
- A burning or itching sensation in the legs
- Leg fatigue when walking more than a short distance
- Restless leg syndrome that keeps you awake at night
Spider veins, unlike varicose veins, seldom cause physical discomfort, but many people seek treatment because they can be unsightly. Spider veins are the tiny roadmap-like or cobwebby veins, usually blue or red, visible through the skin on the head, neck, chest, or arms.
What are varicose veins and why do I have them?
In healthy leg veins, blood is carried from the extremities back to the heart, conducted by valves. Sometimes these valves weaken or fail altogether in a condition called venous reflux. When this happens, the blood ceases to move steadily and can pool or even reverse course, resulting in the bulging and knottiness characteristic of varicose veins.
Varicose veins can appear any time throughout adulthood. Typical causes include heredity, physical stress, pregnancy and weight gain.
How are varicose veins, spider veins and other vein problems treated?
As a leading El Paso vein center, Physician’s Imaging & Vein Care Clinic offers a range of effective treatment for vein problems, including RF ablation, EVLT, ambulatory phlebectomy and sclerotherapy. Our expert medical staff will evaluate your vein conditions and make a recommendation as to the best approach.
Most patients seek vein treatment because of the discomfort and/or unsightliness of varicose veins and spider veins. Regardless of the reason, it is very important to talk to a specialist about your veins, as conditions such as these can be indicative of more serious pulmonary problems.
