Frustrated with Lingering Vein Problems?

Finding Relief May Be Closer Than You Think

Have you undergone vein treatment yet still experience varicose veins, leg swelling or discomfort?

You’re not alone. Up to 15% of patients struggle with persistent symptoms. And 10% of our new patients have had previous procedures like vein stripping or endovenous ablation when they come to our practice for a second opinion.

The culprit could be iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). This occurs when an artery compresses a major pelvic vein, causing pressure that undermines prior treatments.

Unfortunately, these deep veins are difficult to examine externally, leading to missed diagnoses.

VaricoseVeins — The right varicose vein treatment will depend on the underlying cause of your condition and its severity. As the original IAC accredited vein clinic in Southwest Florida, our expertise puts you on the right path to the best treatment.

Introducing the Solution: Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)

At Vein Specialists, we offer a groundbreaking solution: intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). This minimally invasive technique uses a tiny ultrasound probe to visualize your pelvic veins from within, revealing any compression.

IVUS allows board-certified vascular surgeon Dr. Joseph Magnant to study pelvic vein blockages better than ever and is available in our offices in Fort Myers and Bonita Springs.

Know the Signs and Symptoms of IVCS

Iliac vein compression syndrome can manifest in various ways, some subtle and others more pronounced.

If you experience any of the following signs or symptoms, it may indicate underlying compression of the pelvic veins:

Large varicose veins from the groin, vulva or gluteal fold
Leg swelling (one or both legs), one leg might be larger than the other
Leg ulcers or stasis dermatitis
Pain in pelvis and abdomen with squatting or crouching
Painful intercourse (during or after) and increased pain with menstruation
Pain in buttock, posterior thigh or knee with prolonged sitting or standing
