Treatments for Venous Disease

Treatments for Venous Disease

Venous disease is extremely common. By age 50, up to 20% of men and up to 40% of women experience some form of vein disorder as a result of varying causes. Furthermore, as many as 25 million Americans may suffer varicose veins. Family history, multiple pregnancies, standing or sitting in the same position for long periods of time, as well as a history of blood clots are all contributing factors resulting in the development of vein disease.

Conservative Treatments

While medical/surgical treatments are often required to treat vein disease, there are conservative treatments that can be effective in alleviating symptoms. They are quite beneficial when used in conjunction with medical/surgical treatments. Though these treatments alone will not cure vein disorders, they will help alleviate the symptoms while you seek treatment.

Medical Treatments

Thankfully, the conservative treatments above are not the only ways we can combat vein insufficiency or vein disease. Rather, over the past decade, there have been many innovations in the modern treatment of venous diseases. There are more minimally-invasive treatments than ever before, and traditional procedures such as vein stripping have largely been replaced by modern treatments that involve less downtime and much less discomfort during recovery.

 

Patients benefit from a greatly improved appearance as well as relief from the pain, aching, cramping, numbness, itching, burning, swelling and fluid retention associated with venous insufficiency. Likewise, patients are amazed that the lower leg ulcers they have suffered with for years will potentially heal over in a few weeks to months. Many patients are also delighted to realize they can go about their daily lives in much greater comfort. Often they are thrilled to discover they can return to wearing clothing like shorts and capri pants that they had previously given up.

At The Vein Institute, many of our patients are on blood thinners because of past or current history with blood clots. Please tell your doctor if you are using blood thinners for any reason before beginning treatment for a venous disorder.

Even if you are not currently on anti-coagulants for any condition, your vein specialist may prescribe a short course of blood thinners following a procedure.

Often insurance companies will not consider treating symptoms of a venous disease or venous insufficiency medically necessary.  However, The Vein Institute provides services to treat unsightly veins that are not covered by insurance. These procedures are considered cosmetic, even though they can often lead to medical issues down the road.

 

Cosmetic Treatments are available to treat unsightly veins like Spider Veins, Varicose Veins, and Reticular Veins. Visit our Cosmetic Treatments page for more information.
