Leg health check

Leg health check: Could you be suffering from venous disease?

It is estimated that venous disease affects 25 million Americans, both men and women, of all ages. Here's what to look for:

• Discoloration
• Pain
• Swelling
• Ulcers

You may be more at risk if you are:

• Female
• Over 50
• Have a family history
• Have had blood clots
• Have had multiple children
• Are on your feet frequently and for long periods of time

If you or a loved one has these symptoms or risk factors, call Dr. Pasnoori's office at 913-596-7224. The screening for venous disease is simple, non-invasive and is usually covered by insurance.
