Did You Know That Over 80 Million People Suffer From some form of vein disease?
VEIN DISEASE REQUIRES MEDICAL INTERVENTION AS SOON AS IT IS DISCOVERED.
While vein disease may be visible in many cases, it needs to be totally invisible. Medical involvement is required for a diagnosis!
The best way to definitively diagnose and specifically locate vein disease is via Doppler Ultrasound. This procedure is best performed by a tech who is Certified in Vascular Ultrasonography.
Although many people are unaware of the extent and severity, vein disease is one of the most common to affect Americans today. Nearly a third of the entire U.S. population, more than 80 million people, suffers from some form of it.
If you are experiencing signs of varicose or spider veins, seeking treatment is crucial to your continued health, happiness, and comfort.
Leg swelling, especially in the lower legs, is commonly seen in patients with varicose or spider veins, as is the sensation of heaviness or fatigue in the legs.
DID YOU KNOW?
Vein disease causes veins to malfunction. When veins do not work properly, several things happen:
- They do not efficiently return blood back to the heart for oxygenation.
- Wounds may heal more slowly.
- Cells may even die.
- Leg may Swell.
- Sever Night Cramps may occur
- Legs become tired and restless
- Varicose veins may pop
When the valves in veins break down, blood return is impeded. Blood pools and falls backward causing the veins to swell and stretch. This creates varicose veins deep inside the leg. These veins push against other tissues and create additional inflammation and pain. Left untreated, the condition always worsens.
MEDICAL OVERVIEW OF VENOUS DISEASE
VENOUS DISEASE:
The U.S. has one of the highest incidences of venous disease in the world. Because of the widespread nature of its symptoms, it is considered a significant public health issue.
Venous disorders symptoms may present as discomfort, fatigue, or heaviness in the leg. Patients may complain of chronic pain or lost sleep due to cramping or restless leg. Some may experience non-healing ulcers, cellulites or phlebitis. Still others with the disease may be symptom free.
Historically, venous symptoms have often gone untreated due to discouraging outcomes and the lack of quality treatment options. Just decades ago, “vein stripping” to remove the vein causing the insufficiency was the gold standard of treatment. Today Laser Ablation, Radiofrequency Endovenous Ablation and ClariVein Ablation procedures have become the gold standard of care. Dr. Sassan Kaveh is one of the few physicians who is trained to perform ClariVein procedures in Nevada. These innovative forms of treatment are performed locally right here in our Alpha Vein Clinic Las Vegas under local anesthesia, and they have a 98% long-term success rate. These treatments have transformed the way the medical community views diagnosis and treatment of venous disorders.
