Are Your Spider or Varicose Veins a Sign of Vein Disease?

For many people vein problems such as varicose veins and spider veins are little more than a cosmetic issue. While varicose veins may be painful or result in swelling, these symptoms can often be dealt with through mild exercises and compression stockings, which may convince you that seeing an endovascular specialist is not important. However, if you have varicose or spider veins, it is important that you see Oklahoma City vein doctor Dominic Pedulla to help make sure there is not a larger problem causing these conditions.

Health Issues and Vein Problems

Spider and varicose veins may be an indication of vein diseases including Venous Insufficiency or Venous Reflux Disease. These diseases may increase instances of swelling and discomfort, but are often overlooked as a simple part of the aging process. If you experience physical symptoms beyond aesthetics with your varicose or spider veins, it is crucial that you see Dr. Pedulla as soon as possible. Early treatment is the best way to avoid long-term problems and, when not treated, your risk for additional medical issues is greatly increased.

If you live in or around Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and have spider or varicose veins, please contact the Oklahoma Vein & Endovascular Center to schedule a comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Pedulla today.
