As venous disease, varicose veins and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) continue to plague thousands of us, awareness has become more prevalent. Teaching and educating the public about how to prevent and treat such ailments is vital to healthier veins. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is offering free varicose vein screenings this upcoming weekend.
UAMS said, “A free screening for varicose veins, a common condition usually affecting veins in the leg, will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on April 18 in the Outpatient Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock.”
With millions of people going untreated, varicose veins have the potential to spread into more serious problems like DVT. It is vital to leg and vein health to get annual check-ups and tests to prevent venous disease.
