At Seattle Vein Clinic, we specialize in minimally-invasive methods of treating Varicose Veins and spider veins.
Venous Reflux is a condition in which the valves inside veins become diseased or damaged. As a result these valves will not close properly, which allows blood to pool in the legs. Blood that cannot flow back to the heart can cause a variety of symptoms, including varicose veins, pain, itching, swollen limbs, leg heaviness, skin changes, skin ulcers.
Factors contributing to the potential for vein disease include family history, age, gender, obesity, pregnancy or a profession that involves standing for long periods of time. Fortunately, venous disease is easy to diagnose with a painless ultrasound which is typically covered by insurance. If you think you may be suffering from venous disease, come in for a free, no obligation consultation. Call today for more information.
