Very often this cosmetic looking problem progresses to varicose vein disease and make life miserable.Treatment of varicose veins requires high level of skills.

How does “ KTS gene”  discovery change  treatment  of venous malformations

 

Treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers without Surgery         

An altered KTS gene starts a “domino effect" by rendering blood vessels (mainly veins) abnormal.  Treatment of varicose veins and venous malformations of the KT syndrome  is very challenging .  For  KTS has  tissue  abnormalities consequent to varicose veins causing  pooling of toxins and by abnormal high-pressure reverse blood flow within them 
 
      

Venous leg ulcers have a long history of being grossly mismanaged. Too many patients have had their ulcers treated with various ointments as if they were merely a superficial malady, while at the other extreme too many patients have had multiple failed skin grafts
 

 Restless Leg syndrome  misunderstood  disease                       

     

Creepy Crawly Legs ! Is it really the nerves                                             
The Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) was originally described more tha300 years ago by Sir Thon mas Willis in 16721. Later, Swedish Neurologist Karl Ekbom in the year 1944, detailed a disorder of the central nervous system (brain) ...research in the last three centuries has not proven the nervous system etiology originally suspected in RLS
                                      

    

 
 
RLS in my experience;    is primarily due to subtle but abnormal veins in the limbs as “refluxing venous blood”. I have been successfully treating these patients with sclerotherapy to eradicate the abnormal veins since the early 1980s.

Spider  Veins
 
                                              
Spider veins are also varicose veins but are very small in size and appear as thin streaks of red or blue lines on the surface of the skin. They have a  “spider” like look and  are diffuse interconnected branches of varicosed tiny veins.  The venous connections under the skin are "Spider web"
