MESSNER VEIN INSTITUTE
Although millions of Americans suffer from venous disease, only a small percentage of them seek help.
Most individuals can find relief and slow progression of symptoms through basic self-care measures.
According to the Society for Vascular Medicine, venous disease is a condition that plagues over 30 million Americans. Surprisingly, just 10% of these afflicted individuals seek treatment for the ailment.
Venous disease symptoms are wide-ranging. They can range from mild swelling and leg discomfort to unsightly varicose veins. In severe cases, the skin can suffer damage such as discoloration or non-healing sores. Despite affecting around 30% of the population, many patients remain undiagnosed due to this lack of knowledge.
To diagnose venous insufficiency, a physician will begin with a clinical examination that includes reviewing a patient’s medical records. Additionally, multiple diagnostic tests, such as ultrasounds, may be ordered to evaluate blood flow from the limbs back to the heart.
