Commonly, varicose veins and spider veins can be mischaracterized as a cosmetic problem. They are a sign of an underlying disorder of the circulatory system called venous insufficiency. 70% of women will suffer from this condition by age 60. Without treatment, it can lead to a chronic, debilitating, and sometimes limb-threatening condition. It is unfortunate that this disease process is under-diagnosed and under-treated. Many patients choose treatments that address only the superficial appearance of veins only to find that the veins reappear. Some superficial, skin deep treatments can even leave the veins worse than before treatment and cause the skin to appear blotchy or discolored. The underlying cause is never considered, diagnosed, or properly treated. Modern treatment of this age old problem can now be accomplished with an array of minimally invasive techniques in an outpatient setting.Varicose vein disease afflicts women with twice the frequency as men.

A woman's blood volume will increase...more

Him living all the way in the North Pole he just might be having the sniffles or worse.Last Christmas, I used my radiator heater heavily because I hate living in a cold house.Despite the heating and wearing multiple layers of clothing outside, I came down with the flu once and had the sniffles a couple of times.Maybe a 'couple sniffles" is not bad but when I got the electricity bill, it wasn't the sniffles I was worried about, it was my heart. Man was it high!Any how, maybe I can use a little less heating this season and include extra practices that will help me from falling prey to the flu.So here is what I am gonna do1. Get more sleep.
