Leg Pain Isn’t Always Aging
For years, this 57-year-old patient believed her worsening leg pain and fatigue were simply signs of aging, something she had to live with. After heart surgery in 2013, heaviness, swelling, and discomfort slowly became daily challenges. Walking grew difficult, long outings left her exhausted, and visible veins on her calves became more pronounced. Multiple specialists searched for answers, but none considered venous disease. Carolyn C. was told it was her hips, her back, her digestion, or simply “getting older.”
Everything changed when a podiatrist noticed the swelling in her legs and referred her to United Vein & Vascular Centers. At UVVC, a diagnostic ultrasound finally revealed the real cause: chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). For the first time in years, she had an explanation and a path forward.
Her personalized treatment plan included minimally invasive vein procedures designed to improve circulation and relieve pressure in her legs. After her very first treatment, she noticed the heaviness lifting. Over the next several months, swelling diminished, visible veins faded, and she regained the energy and mobility she thought she had lost forever.

Często zadawane pytania
Dlaczego moje żyły są tak widoczne?
Widoczne żyły mogą być wynikiem starzenia się, genetyki lub przewlekłej niewydolności żylnej (CVI). Badanie przesiewowe żył może pomóc w ustaleniu przyczyny.
Jaka jest najczęstsza przyczyna CVI?
CVI jest często spowodowane uszkodzeniem zastawek w żyłach nóg, które upośledzają przepływ krwi z powrotem do serca. Wczesna diagnoza jest kluczowa.
Jakie jest najlepsze leczenie CVI?
Minimalnie inwazyjne procedury, takie jak ablacja żył, są bardzo skuteczne. UVVC dostosowuje zabiegi do Twoich potrzeb - umów sięna wizytę w najbliższej klin ice, aby dowiedzieć się więcej.
