You are not alone!

Venous disease is common – more common than heart disease and stroke. Approximately 24 million Americans suffer from venous insufficiency ranging from small varicose veins to leg swelling to chronic ulcers. Early treatment is essential to prevent progression to these more severe stages. You may have heard that “they are just varicose veins, there is nothing to worry about”, but you should come in and see for yourself.

Symptoms

Good vein health goes beyond appearance. Don’t ignore symptoms which might indicate more serious underlying venous disease. Key symptoms include:

• Unsightly “spider” veins on your legs 
• Leg pain, swelling, or fatigue 
• Tingling or itching in your legs 
• Reddened or discolored skin on your legs, ankles, or feet 
• Ulceration of the skin on your legs or ankles 
• Small or even large clusters of veins on your leg 
• Night cramps in your legs 

These symptoms may indicate conditions such as varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, venous ulcers, spider veins, or blood clots.

The Value of Academic Medicine

What separates the Doctors of USF Health from other multi-specialty practices in the Tampa Bay area is that it is a leading academic medical center that benefits both the patients and the community it serves. National studies show that patients tend to fare better at academic medical centers due to the availability of experts and thought leaders in the field working with the latest state-of-the-art technologies. As a result, USF Health patients have access to the most current research information and the newest treatments often before they are available to the general public.

The USF Health Comprehensive Vein Center taps into the entire Doctors of USF Health Program, giving you access for more than 500 highly specialized healthcare professionals. Therefore, you gain access to the most current medicine and surgical treatment available beyond just those in the Vein Center and Vascular Surgery group, an advantage few other physician groups can offer.
