A Washington DC Vein Specialist Publishes a New Article Explaining How Swollen Legs and Ankles Can Impact Overall Health
July 31, 2016. Washington, DC. Venous Health Centers releases a new article in which Dr. Hamza Rana explains why swollen legs and ankles shouldn’t be ignored. Many people think that the swelling is just a “sign of aging” and that they can safely ignore it, but this Germantown varicose vein doctor explains that chronically swollen legs and ankles are often an early symptom of vein disease, and that left untreated, that disease is only going to get worse.
According to Dr. Rana, medical director of one of the best vein centers in Washington DC, “failing to seek treatment for swollen legs and ankles increases the likelihood that the symptoms will escalate. If the swelling is caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), not seeking treatment could quickly result in the development of varicose veins or worse, deep vein thrombosis.”
This Washington DC vein specialist hopes that his article reaches a wide audience and helps them to understand that failing to seek treatment for swollen legs and ankles could be a tremendous mistake, one that they will later regret.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins are both common problems among adults in the United States. They affect over 30 million people of both sexes, although women are more likely to experience them than men. Varicose veins are the larger of the two issues, appearing as twisted, bluish veins raised above the skin. Spider veins are smaller and take on a web-like appearance.
Safe and effective vein treatments are available for both spider and varicose veins. These treatments include sclerotherapy, microphlebectomy, and endovenous radiofrequency ablation. All of these procedures have the benefit of being minimally invasive, allowing them to be performed on an outpatient basis in the doctor’s office. These treatments help to restore both the beauty and the health of the legs while minimizing downtime and discomfort.
