188 - Venous Insufficiency (Dr. Michael Hummel)

Dr. Michael Hummel, interventional radiologist at Radiology Consultants of Iowa, joins Dr. Arnold to discuss venous insufficiency signs, symptoms, risk factors and treatment. 

This episode was inspired by a Mailbag question submitted by one of our listeners.

Katie asked: I am 20 weeks pregnant with my last baby and have severe venous insufficiency bilaterally with multiple visible varicose veins. Would you be able to do a podcast over the treatments for venous insufficiency, the long-term results of treatment, and any other advice to help with discoloration of my feet besides compression stockings and staying active? Is the discoloration permanent even with treatment?
