Venous Insufficiency Is The Underlying Cause for Most Leg Vein Problems.

An estimated 40-65% of adults ages 35 and up in the U.S. have this common, but easily treatable leg vein disorder. Triangle Vein Clinic is a long time leader in the remedy of Venous Insufficiency. It is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart. Malfunctioning (incompetent) valves cause vein walls to weaken and veins to stay filled with blood. Excess pooling of blood in the legs, in turn, causes swelling, tightness, and achiness. This is also the primary cause of varicose veins. With treatment, you can eliminate varicose veins and trade your tired aching legs for re-energized legs. It used to be thought that women were most affected. However, research shows that 79% of adult males and 88% of adult females have leg spider veins. There are many health conditions that cause spider veins including diabetes, pregnancy, and circulation problems. Today it is now known that lifestyle and/or occupation is a very big cause. Both men and women who sit or stand for prolonged periods in their daily activities are at an increased risk of varicose veins. The development of spider veins may occur at any age but usually occurs between 18 and 35 years, and peaks between 50 and 60 years of age.

More Information And Facts About Venous Insufficiency

Left untreated, Venous Insufficiency will worsen. Varicose veins will develop and over time there may be darkening of the skin around the ankles (hyperpigmentation) and an increased risk of skin ulcers (open sores). Risk factors for venous insufficiency include family history (genetics), female gender, standing or sitting for long periods, obesity, pregnancy, and tall height. Without first correcting the venous insufficiency, attempts to reduce varicose veins are limited. Venous insufficiency will not go away without treatment. If you are showing symptoms you need to have your legs examined as soon as possible.
