AGE & VEIN DISEASE

Healthy veins are essential to your overall health because your veins carry blood from different parts of your body to the heart.

Unfortunately, the older people get the more risk to develop vein disease.
One in two people over the age of 50 has varicose veins.

As people get older, their veins can become damaged and weaken, which allows for blood to pool in their legs instead of flowing back to the heart. This causes veins to become swollen or painful, or even lead to the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Other factors that can lead to vein disease include: obesity, smoking, inactive lifestyle, and extended periods of sitting or standing. As such, it is important for people to maintain a healthy lifestyle as they age to decrease the other risk factors that can lead to vein disease.

There is no way to completely prevent varicose veins, but there are treatment options available to relieve symptoms. If you are suffering from varicose veins, then it is time to find treatment before developing complications. It is important to remember that untreated varicose veins will not go away on their own, so finding a clinic to treat them will improve your symptoms and quality of life.

At Moncton Vein Clinic, we provide innovative non-surgical vein treatments that prevents health risks caused by blood clots, DVT, and other venous conditions. We are experienced in several different procedures that eliminate varicose veins (ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy, Venaseal, radiofrequency ablation).

This is what you should expect on treatment day:

  • you will be administered a local anesthetic to relieve any discomfort during the procedure and
  • then we will inject a small amount of glue or foam guided by ultrasound into the diseased vein.
  • The blood flow from the diseased vein will be taken over by the healthy surrounding veins and the diseased vein will eventually be absorbed by the body.
