Truths and Myths about Varicose Veins from the Vein Treatment Experts at Medicus Veincare

Medicus Veincare clarifies some common misconceptions about varicose veins.

2014-02-28

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, February 28, 2014 (Press-News.org) There is a lot of misinformation circulating in regards to varicose veins. The laser vein removal specialists at Medicus Veincare wish to clarify some of these myths about varicose veins with a dose of the truth.

Truth #1: Varicose veins are a common issue. Roughly 25 million Americans currently have varicose veins in their legs.

Truth #2: Varicose veins are caused by Venous Reflux Disease, otherwise known as Venous Insufficiency. In this condition, blood does not flow back properly from the legs to the heart, causing blood to pool in your legs.

Truth #3: Venous reflux disease and other vein diseases are progressive and can become increasingly painful and debilitating.

Truth #4: Varicose veins caused by Venous reflux disease are linked to genetics. If your parents suffered from varicose veins, you are statistically more likely to have varicose veins yourself.

Truth #5: Varicose veins can progress more quickly with obesity, occupations that require prolonged periods of standing and pregnancy. They cannot be directly caused by simple things like crossing your legs.

Truth #6: Treatment for varicose veins has improved significantly even over the last several years. Vein treatment center Medicus Veincare can help you to remove your painful varicose veins through a variety of minimally invasive outpatient procedures that will have you back to your regular activities the same day.

Truth #7: Your insurance may cover your varicose vein treatments. Often the pain associated with varicose veins makes their treatment a medical necessity, which in turn means that your insurance may cover it.

The Space Double-Whammy: Less Gravity, More Radiation

2014-02-28

Astronauts floating weightlessly in the International Space Station may appear carefree, but years of research have shown that microgravity causes changes to the human body. Spaceflight also means exposure to more radiation. Together, microgravity and radiation exposure add up to pose serious health risks. But research is not only making space safer for astronauts, it's helping to improve health care for the Earth-bound as well. One of the effects of space radiation is damage to DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic material in nearly every cell of our bodies. ...

High-calorie feeding may slow progression of ALS

2014-02-28

Increasing the number of calories consumed by patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may be a relatively simple way of extending their survival.
