October 3rd, 2014. Morristown, NJ. Dr. Lowell S. Kabnick is announcing the release of a new article intended to educate the public on the link between vein disease and pulmonary embolism. According to the Morristown vein specialist, vein disease is often misrepresented as merely a cosmetic concern. In actuality, untreated vein disease may increase a patient’s risk of pulmonary embolism.

Dr. Kabnick, a vein expert in Morristown, explains that poorly circulating blood can create an environment conducive to blood clot formation. “Insufficient veins lead to poor blood flow in veins deep within the legs, increasing the risk for deep vein thrombosis. If this type of clot breaks off the vein wall and travels to the lungs, a potentially fatal condition known as pulmonary embolism may occur.” The NJ vascular doctor encourages patients suffering from vein disease to seek immediate medical attention if they experience unexplained shortness of breath, chest pain, or a cough with bloody sputum, as these are symptoms of pulmonary embolism.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Up to 30 million people in the United States suffer from spider veins and varicose veins, which means they are quite a common affliction. Women tend have vein problems more often than men; however both genders are affected. Varicose veins are large, twisting, blue or red veins that stand out or bulge from the surface of the skin, while spider veins are smaller, web-like veins that may look reddish and tangled. Fortunately, a number of safe, minimally invasive and highly effective vein treatments are now available. They include radiofrequency ablation, microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy, among others. These techniques help restore the health and beauty of the legs by eliminating or removing varicose veins and spider veins, with a minimum of pain, scarring and recovery time.
