Understanding Varicose Veins: Beyond Cosmetic Concerns
Varicose veins are more than just a cosmetic issue; they can signal underlying health problems that require attention. At Texas Heart and Vein Multispecialty Group, we aim to educate our patients about the causes, symptoms, and advanced treatment options available for varicose veins.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs. They occur when vein valves malfunction, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge. Factors contributing to varicose veins include age, gender, family history, obesity, and prolonged standing.
Common Symptoms
While some individuals may not experience discomfort, others might notice:
- Aching or heavy legs
- Burning or throbbing sensations
- Muscle cramping and swelling
- Itching around the veins
- Skin discoloration near the affected area
If you experience these symptoms, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation.
Advanced Treatment Options at Texas Heart and Vein
We offer state-of-the-art, minimally invasive treatments tailored to each patient's needs:
- Radiofrequency Ablation: This procedure uses heat to close off varicose veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
Thvmg - VenaSeal™: A medical adhesive is used to seal the affected vein, providing an effective alternative to thermal ablation.
Thvmg - Varithena: An injectable foam that collapses the varicose vein, allowing blood to reroute to healthier veins.
