It is estimated that 20% (1 in 5) of American women and 7% of American men suffer from venous disease resulting in symptoms such as aching, fatigue, swelling, pain, cramping, itching or numbness.
Your legs are made up of a network of veins. Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to assist the return of blood back to the heart.
Venous reflux disease develops when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart become damaged or diseased. This can cause blood to pool in your legs and lead to symptoms such as pain, swelling, swollen limbs, leg heaviness and fatigue, skin changes and skin ulcers, and varicose veins.
Dr. Mario Plaza-Ponte, founder and Medical Director of The Pittsburgh Vein Center, has the
advanced education and
advanced technology to bring relief to your Venous Disease symptoms. With our
