Spider veins are small dilated veins that appear in a web-like pattern of red, purple, or blue. In most cases, they are not dangerous and cause no symptoms. Some people prefer to have treatment for spider veins because of their appearance although they are not a risk to their health. Sometimes spider veins occur because blood is backed up in the veins deep in the leg. If you experience painful symptoms with spider veins, you should call our clinic to make an appointment with one of the best vascular surgeons in Hackensack. We will provide you with a comprehensive evaluation based on how the veins are performing throughout your body.
Varicose veins are considered a medical condition.
They appear as dark purple or blue veins that are twisted and bulging in a rope-like fashion on the skin of the legs. People with varicose veins experience different levels and types of pain. Your legs may ache or feel heavy. Pain may feel like throbbing, burning, or cramping and may be accompanied by swelling or itching. Some people experience bleeding from their veins and they may develop ulcers on their skin if the condition becomes severe. Color changes and itching can also occur.
Early diagnosis is imperative to prevent vein disease from advancing into something more serious. Our vascular specialists in Hackensack can determine the degree of your disease and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
