Did you know cardiovascular disease is among the leading causes of death globally? Various factors risk cardiovascular disease, including an unhealthy lifestyle, alcohol intake, and smoking. Luckily, these are things you can control and lower your risk of the disease. Soffer Health Institute specializes in providing exceptional vein care, comprehensive diagnosis, and treatments for Aventura vascular problems. Here are among the cardiovascular services available.
Varicose veins
Varicose veins appear as twisted and enlarged veins visible in your legs. They result from blood accumulation in your veins due to damaged valves. Usually, a valve in a vein prevents blood from flowing backward.
Varicose veins are likely to occur if you have excess weight, are pregnant, and have a family history of the disease. They commonly occur in your legs.
The appearance of varicose veins in your legs might make you feel uncomfortable. Besides, varicose veins can be painful and give your legs a heavy feeling. Other symptoms include
· Cramping
· Skin discoloration
· Itchiness
Wearing compression stockings can help eliminate varicose veins. Your provider may also recommend regular exercise and healthy diets. If you do not find relief with the above treatments, your provider may recommend the following treatments.
· Sclerotherapy
· Endovenous ablation
· Varithena
· Removal surgery
Spider veins
They are visible below your skin surface, blue, purple, or red. Spider veins are common in your legs or face.
Spider veins result from a valve malfunction that causes vein weakness, leading to blood accumulation in your veins.
Spider veins may not be painful, but you should seek medical care if you experience the following.
· Redness
· Swelling
· Warmth
· Tenderness
If your spider veins are not painful or do not have any serious symptoms, you may not need to see a medical provider. But, it may be advisable to modify your lifestyle and wear compression socks for better circulation.
Where your spider veins are a cosmetic concern, the team at Soffer Health Institute offers noninvasive treatments to eliminate the veins. You need to have a healthy weight and avoid standing or sitting for long periods.
