Shorts Weather

The days are getting longer and flowers are blooming; Spring is just around the corner. And we all know what it means as the weather becomes more pleasant and the temperature climbs – shorts season is almost upon us. For a lot of people, the Spring is a time to be more active, to get outside and enjoy the weather; it’s a time to show off those legs. But for people who suffer from vein issues, like varicose veins or spider veins, the warmer weather can signal a time of discomfort and self-consciousness.

If the idea of showing off your legs in warm weather is less than appealing to you, you are not alone. Over 40 million people in the United States suffer from varicose veins and/or spider veins. But of those 40 million, only about ten percent of people with vein health issues seek treatment. This statistic is unfortunate because we know that vein issues can keep people from living their lives to the fullest. Varicose veins and spider veins can be unsightly and embarrassing, but they can also be painful and keep people from living active, healthy lifestyles.

Are you one of the 40 million who is hesitant to give treatment a try? Here are some things you should know:

• You don’t have to suffer. Whether you’re experiencing physical pain or mental anguish over your veins, you have options to improve the quality of your life.
• Treatments options are minimally invasive and recovery times are short.
• Treatment for varicose veins is often covered by insurance

If you find yourself cringing at the thought of wearing shorts this Spring due to vein issues, maybe it’s time to think about a treatment plan. We know that varicose veins and spider veins can be unsightly and embarrassing, but if that embarrassment is keeping you from living your life to the fullest, it’s time to do something about it.
