Ep.67 These Don't Have to Be Your Momma's Varicose Veins

More than 80 million Americans suffer from vein disease.  We mostly think of varicose veins, which for some, can makes us self-conscious about the appearance of our legs, but they can be downright painful.  Pregnancy, heredity, and what do you know, menopause, can all play a role.

Cindy Asbjornsen, DO, found a passion and calling for helping people with vein disease.  She is committed to educating her patients about vein health so that they can make informed decisions about the best treatment options.  As a board-certified phlebologist, Cindy is utilizing the latest in technology to ensure optimal outcomes to not only improve her patients' self-esteem, but also their overall health and wellbeing.  

In this episode Dr. Asbjornsen and I discuss:

- How Cindy became interested in vein disease
- Defining vein disease and the symptoms
- Risk factors for men and women
- Pregnancy and varicose veins
- When it's a good idea to wear compression stockings
- The heredity link and vein disease
