Chicago Vein Experts: Vein Disease Mistakes to Avoid
May 23rd, 2015. Chicago, IL. The Chicago vein experts at Chicago Vein Care Center have released a new article that provides some insight into common mistakes patients can make when they have varicose veins or other venous conditions. According to the Chicago vein treatment center, getting too much sun, inadequate amounts of physical activity, and delaying treatment are only a few of the many factors that can exacerbate existing vein disease and lead to worsening side effects and complications such as pain and skin ulcers.
Dr. Ramon Castro, a Board-Certified Chicago vascular doctor, who is dedicated to promoting vein disease prevention and self-care, as well as providing medically advanced venous procedures to treat vein disease, heads the center. According to Dr. Castro, “Vein disease is all too common. In fact, nearly half of all aging Americans have or will develop some form of venous condition over the course of their lives.”
In order to attend to the venous needs of people in the Chicago area, Dr. Castro and his team disseminate health education and practice quality vein disease treatment to a wide variety of patients. To learn more about Dr. Castro, the center, and ways to prevent vein disease, please visit:
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. This means minimal downtime for the patient, few side effects, and terrific results.
