However, about 45 percent of all men will suffer from varicose veins in their lifetime. Gravity and heredity affect men just like they do women. Like in women, varicose veins are not just a cosmetic issue. They can lead to pain, aching, restless legs, discoloration, swelling, heavy legs and even ulceration.

Summer Heat!

With this unprecedented heat wave we have been experiencing in Central Indiana, Dr. Schoonover and his staff wants to encourage all of our patients to remember to hydrate prior to all appointments. On average, this translates to an additional 8-16 ounces of fluid. Make sure you are staying cool, avoiding caffeine, and feel free to call our office with any additional questions.
