September 16th, 2016. Kihei, Maui, HI. Vein Clinics of Hawaii releases a new article in which they provide a number of important facts about vein disease. These facts may keep some people up at night, but it's important that people hear them, because there is so much misinformation circulating about vein disease that it's keeping patients from seeking treatment that they really need.

According to Dr. Randall S. Juleff, medical director of this vein treatment center in Hawaii, "many people don't even know how widespread vein disease is, and that it affects over a third of the adult population. They don't know that visible symptoms such as varicose veins are symptoms of a deeper and more serious condition called chronic venous insufficiency. They don't know that this condition can quickly escalate to cause chronic tiredness, swollen legs and ankles, and – if left untreated – skin changes that can leave your legs covered with bleeding leg ulcers that don't respond to treatment and refuse to heal. They also don't know that all of these symptoms – as bad as they are – pale in comparison to a much more serious vein disease called deep vein thrombosis or DVT, which can cause potentially fatal strokes or pulmonary embolisms."

These Hawaii vein specialists hope that this article reaches a wide audience in the general public and helps them to realize that vein disease is not something to ignore while hoping it goes away or "gets better on its own." It won't – it will get worse. To learn more about these and additional facts about vein disease, read Dr. Juleff's new article, and visit the clinic's website at: http://veinclinicsofhawaii.com/.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options

Varicose veins and spider veins are quite common afflictions in the United States, affecting up to 30 million people. While women tend to suffer from vein disease more frequently than men, both sexes can be afflicted. Spider veins are usually smaller, web-like veins that might have a tangled appearance, while varicose veins are usually larger, twisted, bluish veins that are raised on the skin.

There are several safe and effective treatment options for varicose veins and spider veins, including the Venefit™ procedure, microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. All procedures are minimally invasive, meaning they can be performed on an outpatient basis in the doctor’s office. They all help restore both the health and beauty of the legs with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime.
