30% of people have venous disease.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after undergoing a "comprehensive examination" for swelling in his legs.

The condition is considered common, particularly in people over 70, and occurs when valves inside certain veins do not function properly, causing blood to pool or collect in the veins.

Giraffes are the tallest land animals, with their long necks and legs presenting unique challenges for blood circulation. The height of giraffes means they must deal with significant gravitational forces that can affect blood flow, particularly in their legs. These forces could potentially lead to pooling of blood in the lower extremities.

So lots of them must suffer from Varicose veins, right?

No, they don't.

The skin and fascia in the legs of giraffes are relatively tight, exerting a pressure that prevents the veins distending into varicosities.
So giraffes in compression stockings will remain a rare sight!

The Varicose Vein Doctor offers treatment solutions for humans with varicose veins on the Sunshine Coast in QLD.

Are you tired of those restless leg antics disrupting your sleep? Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), can turn your peaceful nights into leg-jerking dramas, leaving you feeling drained and frustrated. Imagine trying to relax, only to have your legs rebel, twitching and jerking uncontrollably.

RLS comes in two forms: primary and secondary. Primary RLS keeps its origins a mystery, but secondary RLS often accompanies other health issues. From low iron levels and kidney problems to medication side effects, pregnancy, stress, and sleep deprivation, the triggers are diverse.

Here's a surprising twist: one often-overlooked trigger for secondary RLS is varicose veins. These bulging, twisted veins aren't just a cosmetic concern; they could be fueling your restless leg adventures.

But don't fret! Seeing a vein doctor could be the key to reclaiming your restful nights. With advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatment options, vein doctors are able to address underlying vein issues that may contribute to RLS, offering you relief and better sleep quality.
Several scientific papers support the link between varicose veins and RLS.
Don't let restless legs rule your nights any longer.
Take the first step towards peaceful sleep by scheduling a consultation with the Varicose Vein Doctor. Your legs – and your sleep – will thank you for it. See us at VaricoseVeinDoctor.com.au

Recently attended the ACP annual scientific meeting. This year Fiji was chosen. Wonderful choice of location and great meeting with excellent speakers. Also got to try out some new equipment, some of which I plan to add to the practice very soon.

Recent trip to USA for an update and further training in Regenerative Medicine / Orthobiologics. Interestingly Platelet Rich Plasma can be used in the treatment of venous leg ulcers. Having varicose veins treated early will also prevent venous leg ulcers developing in the first place.
