Vein Therapy for Men

Don't ignore varicose veins! If they are severe, they can rupture or form ulcers on the skin, which requires immediate attention. You can prevent these complications and problems by tackling the problem early on through Dr. Brown's services.

Varicose veins are a result of faulty valves and weakened walls within the veins. Under healthy circumstances, these one-directional valves keep the blood flowing efficiently against gravity up toward the heart. But when these valves fail to function properly, the blood pools, pressure builds up, and the veins become weak, enlarged and twisted.

Some people may be more likely than others to develop varicose or spider veins due to genetics, old age or hormonal changes. Varicose veins may also result from conditions that increase pressure on the leg veins, for example being overweight, pregnant, or doing jobs that require prolonged standing. It is estimated that approximately 15% of the male population is affected by varicose vein.

Many people express embarrassment over varicose veins and feel often limited with their clothing options. However, this is an issue that can be easily treated and which Dr. Brown recommends handling early on to prevent further problems down the road.
