What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that can
be found anywhere on your body, but mainly on the legs and feet, because
of the increase of pressure your body puts on them. Varicose veins can
be very painful causing discomfort for those that are suffering from
them. And sometimes the varicose veins may even lead to more serious
health problems.
What causes varicose veins?
Let's start
off with discussing what veins do for our body. Veins and arteries work
together to circulate blood throughout our bodies. The arteries carry
blood from the heart to the tissues, while the veins return blood to
your heart. To return blood to your heart, the veins in your legs have
to work against gravity. The muscle contractions in the legs act as a
pump along with the elastic vein walls and valves to help return the
blood. So, what factors may cause the veins and all their parts to
properly not work?
Age- The risk for varicose veins increases
with age. Aging can cause wear and tear on the valves, which can result
in the blood flowing back down into your veins, collecting instead of
flowing up.
Pregnancy- When you are pregnant, the amount of
blood in your body increases, but decreases the flow of your blood from
your legs to your pelvis. This circulatory change is designed to help
the growing fetus but can result in varicose veins.
Family History-Just like other health issues, family history can play a role in why you have varicose veins.
Obesity- Being overweight and bearing that weight on your legs can add
unwanted pressure on the veins causing them to struggle with circulating
the blood flow back up to the heart. If this is the case, your veins
will become enlarged forming varicose veins.
Standing or
sitting for too long- To increase blood flow, it's best if you do not
stand or sit in the same position for too long. Try to move and bend
your legs as often as you can, when you know that you will be sitting or
standing for long period.
What treatment options are available?
Luckily there are treatment options for varicose veins! Here are the treatments.
Spider & Varicose Vein Treatment – Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is a
non-surgical office procedure that can treat most diseased surface
veins. Medication is injected into a vein using special needles and
syringes.
Surface Varicose Vein Treatment – Ambulatory Phlebectomy:
An ambulatory phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that
removes large surface varicose veins. After local anesthesia, the
diseased veins are pulled up and delicately removed through very small
punctures that do not require stitches.
An End to Outdated Vein
Stripping Techniques – The VNUS Closure Procedure: Using ultrasound; a
Closure catheter is positioned into the diseased vein, through a small
opening in the skin. The tiny catheter delivers radiofrequency (RF)
energy to the vein wall. As the RF energy is delivered and the catheter
is withdrawn, the vein wall is heated, causing the collagen in the wall
to shrink and the vein to close.
