December 1st, 2014. Long Island, NY. Long Island Heart and Vein Experts is announcing the publication of a new article that discusses ways that vein disease can be prevented. According to these Long Island vascular doctors, although there are some risk factors like age, gender, and genetics that can't be changed, there are others that patients can do something about to drastically reduce the chances that they will develop vein disease.Dr. Marc Rybstein, medical director of this prestigious
Long Island vein clinic, points out that three of the most important risk factors for vein disease can be easily reduced. "If you smoke or are overweight, you can drastically reduce your vein disease risk by stopping smoking and losing weight. Another risk factor – inactivity – can be reduced simply by developing a more active lifestyle." Vein doctors can work with patients to reduce these and other risk factors to help keep them from developing vein disease.
The Long Island vein center hopes that when people learn more about the risk factors that cause vein disease, they'll be more likely to seek help in reducing these risks, and thus stay healthier. For more information on vein disease, see the center’s website at: www.heartandveinexperts.com.
Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Both men and women can suffer from spider veins (small, web-like red or blue veins near the skin surface) and varicose veins (larger, bulging veins), particularly if they are over age 50 or if they have a family history of vein disease. Fortunately, today patients have access to a whole range of effective, minimally invasive vein treatment options including radiofrequency ablation, laser ablation, microphlebectomy and sclerotherapy. These recent technological breakthroughs allow for effective treatment and great results, with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime, and no hospital visits.
