Now that the Fall season is upon us, humidity has dropped, temperatures are a bit cooler, and the rainy season has passed. So, you may be wondering what the temperature has to do with varicose vein treatment.

 

With the weather changing, you are able to wear longer pants and long skirts without melting in the Florida heat. This is the perfect time to research the various varicose vein treatment options that are best for you. Winter will be here soon and you will be able to wear the longer clothing to cover your legs after the procedure is complete. The use of compression stockings to support your veins after treatment is important. These stockings can be hidden from view with longer clothing.

 

So, what types of treatments are available for varicose veins? There are three main types that most vein doctors will perform: sclerotherapy, phlebectomy, and endovenous thermal ablation. You will want to research each one and consult with a doctor on the best procedure for your varicose veins. If you do not have a vein doctor, this is the time to research a reputable, compassionate, and experienced doctor. The physicians here at Tampa Cardiovascular Associates care about each patient and will determine, based on a consultation, which type of treatment is best.

 

If you decide to rid yourself of your painful varicose veins, the winter season is a great time to do it. The likelihood of finding yourself going to the beach or pool during the winter is a lot lower than in the warmer months. While you are searching for a vein doctor, there are some things that you can do at home to alleviate the pain and swelling. Wear compression stockings, elevate your legs whenever possible, and do low impact exercises to assist your calves in pumping blood back to your heart.
