MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Living with leg vein problems can affect every aspect of your life – from how you feel to what you wear. As The Leg Vein Experts, we know these symptoms deserve more than just cosmetic attention. If you're experiencing visible veins, discomfort, or swelling, you may have an underlying vein condition that requires medical expertise.

UNDERSTANDING LEG VEIN DISEASE

The underlying cause of vein disease is poor circulation, which results in blood pooling in veins, leading to increased pressure and bulging. Various factors can contribute to this condition, including genetics, age, pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged standing or sitting.


Expert Insight: You're not alone – leg vein disease affects 1 in 2 women and 1 in 3 men in the United States. Despite how common these conditions are, many people delay seeking treatment. Our experience shows that early evaluation and treatment by a vein specialist leads to better outcomes and helps prevent more serious problems from developing.

  • WHAT ARE SPIDER VEINS?

    Spider veins are tiny damaged veins visible just below the skin's surface, appearing as web-like patterns in blue, purple, or red. While typically less than 1mm in diameter, these veins can cause cosmetic concerns and occasionally result in tingling or burning sensations.

  • WHAT ARE VARICOSE VEINS?

    Varicose veins are abnormally dilated veins measuring more than 3mm in diameter, commonly occurring in the legs. These veins can bulge, twist, and become visible on the skin surface, often causing symptoms like leg fatigue, aching, discomfort, and itching.

  • WHAT CAUSES VARICOSE VEINS?

    While the exact cause can be difficult to pinpoint, several factors increase the risk of developing varicose veins:

    • Age
    • Gender (more common in women)
    • Pregnancy
    • Hormonal changes
    • Weight
    • Prolonged standing/sitting
    • Family history
    • Previous blood clots

  • WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF VEIN DISEASE?

    Common symptoms include:

    • Leg aching and fatigue
    • Heaviness and cramping
    • Swelling in feet or ankles
    • Skin discoloration

    Expert Insight: You can have significant vein disease without visible varicose veins. Symptoms often worsen with prolonged sitting or standing.

  • HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED AN ULTRASOUND?

    If you have only scattered spider veins without symptoms, you may not require ultrasound evaluation. However, we recommend a consultation with our specialists to determine if further testing would be beneficial. If needed, we can perform ultrasound testing during your initial visit.

  • I'M ANXIOUS ABOUT MY UPCOMING PROCEDURE. WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE?

    At Vascular Solutions, we understand that procedures can cause anxiety. During your initial consultation, you can discuss the option of using Pro-Nox (“laughing gas”) with your provider. Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled nitrous oxide system that helps reduce anxiety and discomfort during procedures. This quick-acting option allows most patients to drive themselves home after a brief 15-minute recovery period.


    Key points to discuss with your provider:


    • Your specific anxiety concerns
    • Previous experiences with medical procedures
    • Current medications, including anti-anxiety medications
    • Medical history that might affect Pro-Nox use

    Cost ($150 per treatment, self-pay)


    Contact our office if you have immediate questions about anxiety management options.
