Varicose Vein Treatment for Houston-Area Patients

Pelvic congestion syndrome, or ovarian vein reflux, is a condition that occurs in women ages 20-45 in which pelvic veins become enlarged and cause blood to pool inside them. Pelvic congestion syndrome treatment may include hormonal medications or a minimally-invasive outpatient procedure to help permanently plug the varicose veins from the inside using a small catheter inserted into the central vein.

Varicose veins are veins that have begun to bulge outward, often appearing in unsightly twisted patterns. Although any vein can become a varicose vein, they’re most likely to develop in the legs and feet due to the increased pressure placed upon these veins by gravity. Treatment typically begins with a combination of over-the-counter pain relief medications, homeopathic remedies, medical-grade compression stockings, and making healthy lifestyle changes, including weight loss and exercising.

Fibroids are benign tumors commonly found along the muscle lining the uterus wall. Women ages 30-40 are more at risk for developing fibroids, which may range in size from a single tumor to a large cluster. Fibroid treatment may include a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus or part of it) or Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a non-surgical option that shrinks the fibroids while preserving the uterus.

Spider veins are veins that become more noticeable or discolored just beneath your skin. They’re most likely to develop on your legs. Spider vein treatment usually includes sclerotherapy, which is an injection used to collapse the spider veins. Repeated treatments may be required every 4-6 weeks to produce desirable results depending on the severity of your condition.

Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) is a minimally invasive medical procedure aimed at providing relief for individuals suffering from chronic knee pain. This innovative technique involves the selective embolization of the genicular arteries, which are responsible for supplying blood to the knee joint.
