Siragusa Vein and Laser Publishes an Article on the Importance of Vein Treatments
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 14, 2013 -- The Siragusa Vein and Vascular Center has published a new article on their website explaining why delaying varicose vein treatment could be a matter of life and death. Many people think varicose veins are merely a cosmetic problem, the Nashville-based center says, but some of the consequences of untreated vein disease can actually be life threatening.
Nashville vein specialist Dr. Tif Siragusa explains, “Deep vein thrombosis is a condition of blood clots that develop deep inside the veins, usually invisibly to the patient. While the clots themselves may have few symptoms, the real danger comes if the blood clot breaks free of its original location in the leg. If it travels to the heart, lungs or brain, it could become a deadly embolism.” Over 300,000 people in the US die from embolisms each year.
The new article describes the risk factors for vein disease, including age and a family history of vein disease, and offers some suggestions for lowering your risk, such as losing weight and maintaining a regular exercise program. “However, a Nashville vein specialist can detect deep vein thrombosis before it becomes a problem, using painless ultrasound technology,” notes Dr. Siragusa.
The team of vascular doctors at Siragusa Vein and Vascular Center hope that by providing this information, patients will stop putting off varicose vein treatment and will make an appointment with a vein specialist in Nashville right away. People interested in more information about the consequences of vein disease can visit their website or contact their office at 615-777-0744.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
At the very least, varicose veins have an unpleasant appearance. However, they can also lead to other serious consequences such as painful, swollen legs. Over half of all Americans have some form of vein disease. Aging is probably the biggest offender in terms of risk factors for the development of varicose veins.
Is it an overgeneralization to say that we all want to look younger and healthier? Certainly, many of us do. With modern advances in technology, there are multiple treatment options available for varicose veins. Sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment and microphlebectomy are but a few. Now you see them…now, you don’t. In the hands of leading vein doctors, it is often just that simple
