September 13, 2016. New York, NY. New York Cardiovascular Associates announces the publication of a new article that explains why patients should have a vein health screening, and the risk factors that influence how often they should have one. According to these Manhattan vein specialists, many people – who would never miss regular checkups to keep their heart and lungs healthy – don't think it's necessary to get regular screenings to keep their veins healthy.

In this new article, the experts from this NYC vein treatment center explain that "there are certain risk factors that – if you have them – mean that it is vitally important for you to have a vein health screening." They go on to explain that there are other factors that make it important to have vein screenings more often. "For example, if both of your parents had varicose veins, you have a 90% risk of developing them yourself, so it is a good idea to have a screening every year."

By publishing this article, these NYC vein treatment doctors hope that patients will understand that vein screenings are non-invasive, painless, and take only about an hour, but having them regularly can make all the difference in keeping their veins healthy. Patients seeking more information about screenings or other issues related to vein disease and its diagnosis and treatment can find it on the center’s website at: www.nycva.org.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Over 30 million people in the United States suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, making it a very common affliction. Varicose veins are large, bulging, sometimes twisted veins that are usually bluish in color. Spider veins are smaller, reddish veins that may appear tangled or similar to a spider’s web. Both men and women can have vein problems, but women are more likely to experience them.
Modern vein treatment options are effective, safe, and accessible to everyone. New technological developments have led to minimally invasive treatments that have excellent results with few side effects and minimal downtime. The most popular treatments include microphlebectomy, sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation and endovenous laser treatment.
