May 30^th, 2015. Morristown, NJ. NYC vein doctor Dr. Lowell S. Kabnick is publishing a new article that explores the relationship between gender, age, and deep vein thrombosis. This new article explains that younger women might have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis due to hormonal changes in the body during pregnancy.

Dr. Kabnick and his NJ vein centerstaff hope that the information provided in this article will encourage women of childbearing age to be alert to the risk posed by this serious condition. Dr. Kabnick explains that women are particularly at risk for deep vein thrombosis during pregnancy: “As the uterus grows, it puts pressure on the vessels below it. This causes sluggish blood flow that can lead to blood clot formation, including deep vein thrombosis. Pregnant women are up to ten times more likely to experience this issue than non-pregnant women of the same age.” Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant are encouraged to consult with a NYC varicose vein doctor, particularly if they are overweight, smoke, or have any other risk factors for deep vein thrombosis.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Spider veins and varicose veins affect up to 30 million people in the United States and are therefore a very common affliction. Women tend to have vein disease more often than men; however, both sexes are affected. Varicose veins are large, twisting, blue or red veins that stand out or bulge on the surface of the skin, while spider veins are smaller, web-like veins that can have a reddish and tangled appearance. Fortunately, a number of safe, minimally invasive and highly effective vein treatments are now available, including radiofrequency ablation, microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. These techniques help restore the legs’ health and beauty by eliminating or removing varicose veins and spider veins, with a minimum of pain, scarring and recovery time. About Lowell S.
