Causes of Venous Insufficiency & Risk Factors of Venous Insufficiency

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:18:33 +0000

Dr. Joseph Magnant of the Vein Specialists at Royal Palm Square in Fort Myers, FL explains the risk factors and causes of venous insufficiency.

Risk factors for venous insufficiency can vary but the primary two causes are heredity and pregnancy. The risk of developing superficial venous insufficiency increases with each successive pregnancy. This is related to the increase in the total blood volume in the veins and in the increased pelvic pressure caused by the gravid uterus. The third trimester is when most of the severe venous changes in the legs occur.

Choosing The Right Vein Specialist

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:39:09 +0000

At the Vein Specialists at Royal Palm Square, we are 100% dedicated to identifying and treating vein disorders. Led by Dr. Joseph G. Magnant, they understand that the venous system varies between patients and consists of both deep and superficial venous systems and a network of connecting or perforating veins. As such, each patient’s venous anatomy must be fully evaluated by noninvasive methods to determine the cause of patients’ symptoms and extent of their disease.

Once a patient has been properly assessed, the least invasive and most appropriate treatment can be employed to ensure the maximum benefit in as pain-free and comfortable environment as possible. Vein Specialists’ state-of-the-art facility is designed to ensure the highest quality of care and best clinical experience possible for patients. Dr. Magnant has embraced three key concepts to build a successful practice: ability, affability, and availability.

Fort Myers Compression Stockings Vein Treatment

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:27:33 +0000

Compression stockings are the first line of treatment of patients with varicose veins and other signs and symptoms of venous insufficiency. These symptoms may include diffuse spider veins, swollen achy legs, “French legs”, “piano legs”, thick calves, skin discoloration, thickening of the skin around the ankles and in the most advanced stages, ulcerations. Compression hose should be specifically measured for the individual patient and generally should not be passed down from generation to generation.

They are available in a variety of lengths (knee, thigh, or panty) as well as a variety of colors. Most insurance companies require a trial of compression stocking therapy before one can be considered for more definitive therapy of vein problems.

Ideal Candidate?

Dr. Magnant strongly encourages his patients to initiate compression therapy as soon as the clinical diagnosis of significant venous insufficiency is either strongly suspected or confirmed. There are a number of exceptions to the conservative trial rule. These exceptions include active ulceration or recurrent bleeding, in which cases treatment should be performed earlier.

If you suffer from any of these symptoms or would like more information, contact Dr. Joseph Magnant today at: 239-694-VEIN or visit him at: www.WeKnowVeins.com to schedule your appointment online.

Fort Myers Sclerotherapy Vein Treatment

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:04:49 +0000

Sclerotherapy literally means “scar” (sclero)”treatment” (therapy) and is used to treat spider veins and smaller varicose veins. This can be accomplished with either chemical (detergent) injections or with heat (laser or VeinGogh).

Injection sclerotherapy is the most time tested, least painful, most efficient and cost effective therapy for spider and reticular veins and small varicose veins. FDA approved medications are injected through tiny needles into the actual spider veins which causes a gentle injury to the lining of the veins resulting in swelling and occlusion of the veins. It may take months for the closed off veins to be reabsorbed.

There are many different types of sclerotherapy such as:

INJECTION SCLEROTHERAPY
LASER SCLEROTHERAPY
FOAM SCLEROTHERAPY
