Symptoms

Vein disease is a broad term that covers a number of vascular issues. Therefore, the symptoms associated with vein disease are varied. They also tend to grow worse over time.

According to varicose vein treatment specialists in Honolulu, one of the vein disease symptoms that patients tend to notice first is spider veins. These slender veins appear close to the skin’s surface. They are often red or blue in color and may create a webbed pattern. Spider veins generally do not cause discomfort, but they do act as a warning sign that a circulatory issue exists.

Varicose veins are another common symptom of vein disease. Varicosities are larger veins that bulge out of the skin in a ropy or twisted manner. They are most commonly found on the legs and may feel tender or achy. Insufficient veins are unable to effectively transport fluids out of the lower extremities. This often leads to swelling in the legs and ankles. Patients also report a feeling of tiredness in their lower extremities, especially after being on their feet all day.

Blood clots and skin changes are signs that vein disease has progressed to a very serious level. Blood clots, including a potentially life-threatening condition called deep vein thrombosis, occur due to sluggish blood flow in diseased veins. If such a

Blood clots and skin changes are signs that vein disease has progressed to a very serious level. Blood clots, including a potentially life-threatening condition called deep vein thrombosis, occur due to sluggish blood flow in diseased veins. If such a

clot breaks off of a vein deep in the leg, it may travel through the body and lead to a stroke or pulmonary embolism. Insufficient blood flow to the skin on the ankle and lower legs can lead to poorly healing wounds known as ulcers.

Vein disease symptoms do tend to grow more serious as the disease progresses and are unlikely to resolve themselves without treatment. Fortunately, Vein Clinics of Hawaii offers a number of safe, effective, and virtually pain-free Maui vein treatments to correct circulation issues and leave you feeling more comfortable.
