September 16th, 2016. Washington, DC. Venous Health Centers releases a new article that provides patients with a peek into the daily life of a vein doctor. These specialists from one of the best vein centers in Washington DC feel that such an article may be valuable, because many people mistakenly believe that vein doctors only treat varicose veins, which to them sounds a lot like "cosmetic surgery," and only something that applies to people who are vain about their appearance.

By explaining the many "hats" he wears during a normal day – doctor, diagnostician, surgeon, and educator – this vein expert in the Washington DC metro area helps people to understand that vein disease is NOT "purely cosmetic," and that it's a serious disease. He explains that "failing to seek treatment for your varicose veins can result in legs so painfully swollen that you can no longer walk or stand for more than a few minutes at a time." A large part of Dr. Rana's practice involves educating his patients and the general public about the dangers of ignoring varicose veins and trying to "live with them." He explains that doing this allows the disease to get worse, and that it can very quickly turn into an exercise in "barely living."

This noted Washington DC varicose vein doctor hopes that this article about what being a vein doctor is really like will help people overcome their reluctance to see one, and will help them seek the treatment they really need.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Varicose veins and spider veins are both common problems among adults in the United States. They affect over 30 million people of both sexes, although women are more likely to experience them than men. Varicose veins are the larger of the two issues, appearing as twisted, bluish veins raised above the skin. Spider veins are smaller and take on a web-like appearance.

Safe and effective vein treatments are available for both spider and varicose veins. These treatments include sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, and endovenous radiofrequency ablation. All of these procedures have the benefit of being minimally invasive, allowing them to be performed on an outpatient basis in the doctor’s office. These treatments help to restore both the beauty and the health of the legs while minimizing downtime and discomfort.
