January 9, 2016. Chicago, IL. Chicago Vein Care Center experts have released a new article describing the basics of vein disease to inform area residents about the common issue. According to the Chicago vein treatment center, vein disease affects nearly 50% of American men and women age 50 and above. Vein disease is often asymptomatic, but varicose veins, leg pain and weakness, and swelling in the legs and ankles are some of the classic symptoms of vein disease. The center hopes this article reaches area residents and helps individuals recognize the early warning signs of vein disease in order to seek the best varicose vein treatment in Chicago.
Dr. Ramon Castro is the Medial Director of the center and a leading Chicago vein expert. According to Dr. Castro, “The major risks for vein disease include obesity, a lack of physical activity, gender and family history. It’s also important to note that the incidence of vein disease grows with age.” Individuals with varicose veins and tired, achy legs, swelling in the lower extremities, and other vein disease symptoms are encouraged to seek a venous screening.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins affect over 30 million people in the United States. Varicose veins are twisted, rope-like veins on the surface of the skin that may bulge and are usually bluish in color. Spider veins are small, web-like veins that appear reddish on the surface of the skin. Men and women suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, but women are more likely to have them.
The newest treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have a lot going for them. Endovenous laser treatment, sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation and microphlebectomy are all minimally invasive treatments that can be performed in a vein specialist’s office in about an hour.
