While Austin, TX may have many experienced vascular surgeons available, it is always in the best interests of the patient to avoid surgical solutions. When a condition suffered is resulting in an ugly discoloration or disfigurement to the body, then surgical procedures may be the only option. However, most varicose veins can be treated at home, or noninvasively.
Also known as a spider vein, this condition is an enlargement of a vein that occurs as a result of pressure in the lower body due to standing upright for long periods of time. The varicosities are most often seen in the legs, ankles, and feet. Many doctors will recommend certain self-treatment procedures, but more often than not the condition is hardly mentioned unless it is an advanced case.
Self-care procedures can include elevating the feet or wearing compression hose in order to ease the pain one might experience. Often women will suffer aching and throbbing in the legs, or itching near the site of a spider vein. The condition can be quite painful for some women, but women will never speak to a doctor about treatment options. Women are sometimes under the impression that it is something they have to live with, and sometimes they even believe they brought this condition onto themselves through inadequate exercise.
An advanced form of this condition known as venous insufficiency can occur in some individuals. For these unfortunate souls, a surgical alternative may be required and should be sought sooner rather than later. If caught early the surgery can be done through non-invasive laser technology.
Hormonal changes which might occur with aging or pregnancy contribute generally minor varicosities in her venous system. As the vein loses elasticity, it becomes less successful at carrying blood to the heart, against the flow of gravity. As blood pools in the vein, it becomes enlarged, and the blood may spider out into other smaller vessels around it. Pregnancy varicosities generally improve on their own after the child is born.
While men do sometimes suffer this affliction, it is primarily a scourge for women. Age and hormonal changes play a factor, as do the development of obesity or certain lifestyle or career choices. Women who walk or stand for long periods of time are more likely to see these ugly, blue, rope-like formations appear on their legs and feet.
To add insult to injury, being upright and on her feet is a position which most people would agree indicates a healthy lifestyle choice. Unfortunately, it is this position, held for too long, which actually contributes to this. It seems she can disfigure herself at a time when she most needs to feel attractive.
Compression stockings, if properly fitted, can improve this condition, as can shifting position frequently and improving muscle tone in the legs. For herbalists, horse chestnut seed extract can help with the circulation as well. For women suffering pain or bleeding ulcers, there are options such as laser treatments or sclerotherapy which may be recommended by her physician.
