A Serious Health Issue
Vein diseases can worsen over time if left untreated. They can develop into life-threatening medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), leg ulcers, or blood clots. By receiving an accurate diagnosis and timely treatment for vein symptoms, you can get rid of varicose veins and spider veins.
When to See a Vein Doctor?
Many of our patients delay a proper diagnosis or vein treatment until it gets worse and becomes too painful to handle. Our vein specialists recommend you schedule a free vein screening to diagnose the symptoms as soon as you notice early signs of vein diseases.

Risk Factors
Certain factors increase the chances of developing vein conditions. If you believe you are having one or some of the following risk factors, it’s highly recommended that you should consult a vein doctor for monitoring and maintaining your leg health.
Family history: Statistics show that up to 50% of people with varicose veins have a family history of the condition. If you have a family member with varicose veins, the odds are against you.
Excess weight: Extra weight puts more pressure on the veins, causing them to weaken and develop varicose veins.
Sitting or standing for long periods: Staying in the same position for prolonged periods of time can increase veins’ pressure and affects blood circulation.
Age: As you get older, the valves naturally get weak, leading to the development of varicose veins.
Pregnancy: The increase in blood volume, extra weight, and hormonal changes put pressure on your abdomen and leg veins. Many pregnant women notice varicose veins develop during their pregnancy and go away within a year after the labor.
