WHAT ISCHRONIC VENOUS DISEASE?
Are you experiencing heavy, painful, or swollen legs?
If so you may be suffering from chronic venous disease, a progressive disease that needs to be treated.
Chronic venous disease affects the valves in your veins, whose primary function is to prevent blood from flowing backward. As a result, damaged valves cause blood to flow back into the veins, pooling in the lower leg. This increased fluid can cause pain, edema and a sensation of heaviness which can worsen over time.
If you think you are suffering from chronic venous disease, it is important to seek treatment.

COMPRESSION THERAPY
Compression therapy involves the use of compression stockings to gently squeeze together the walls of the veins, enabling the valves within the vein to close, helping to increase circulation. The improved blood flow helps to limit the pooling of blood within the lower legs, reducing the symptoms of chronic venous disease.
Compression therapy is often paired with venoactive treatments for the management of chronic venous disease. It is recommended to speak to your physician or pharmacist about appropriate treatment options.

PROCEDURES
There are multiple types of procedures:
Endovenous laser treatment involves the use of laser light to collapse damaged veins. This laser is delivered through a small fiber inserted into the vein with a needle.
Radio frequency ablation utilizes heat to collapse damaged veins and is delivered by a catheter inserted into the vein.
Sclerotherapy involves the injection of a saline or chemical solution into damaged veins. This injection causes the veins to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, reducing their visibility. The procedure is minimally invasive.
It is recommended to speak to your physician about the best treatment for you.
