Almost 1 in 2 people suffer from problems with leg veins - so if you don't have them then someone close to you will. Venous reflux (the major cause of leg vein problems) can cause tired or aching legs, swollen or itchy ankles. Many people suffering from venous reflux are unaware of the problem, until they develop unsightly varicose veins, thread veins, venous eczema or venous leg ulcers. Many doctors and nurses are not aware of the new information available and still treat their patients inappropriately with creams, bandages or support stockings. "Understanding Venous Reflux - the cause of varicose veins and leg ulcers" has been written by Mark Whiteley, an internationally renowned vein expert. With clear explanations, illustrated by over 50 easy-to-follow diagrams, this book makes the understanding of venous reflux - the underlying cause of varicose veins and most venous problems (such as thread veins, venous leg ulcers, venous eczema, discoloured ankles, etc.) - accessible to most readers, helping them decide on what treatment they should seek. For medical and nursing students, as well as all doctors, nurses and other health care workers who deal with legs and leg vein problems, this is an essential text.

Many people have problems with their legs - from aching/tired legs and swollen ankles to varicose veins, from lumps appearing to skin discolouration and leg ulcers to name a few. Sometimes symptoms and signs are obviously due to veins - and other times people might be unaware of hidden varicose veins. However with 30-40% of the adult population having some venous dysfunction, venous disease is behind a lot of leg problems. Vein Health and Problems in Lockdown and Isolation has been written by Mark S Whiteley, an internationally recognised expert in varicose veins, leg ulcers and venous disease. In this book Mark goes through: Why a lockdown or isolation can worsen leg problems What symptoms and signs you might notice during a lockdown How the leg veins work What can go wrong with leg veins What problems varicose veins and hidden varicose veins can cause How to look after your vein health in a lockdown or during isolation What you should do if you notice certain symptoms or signs during a lockdown or isolation Vein health and problems in lockdown and isolation will help the reader understand venous disease better - and help the reader identify which symptoms and signs might be venous disease, and how urgently they need to be treated. Some sections such as how to look after the vein health in a lockdown are quite specific for these stressful times, whereas most of the book is relevant to anyone with venous problems, even if they don't know their symptoms and signs are due to hidden varicose veins!

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders: Pelvic congestion syndrome is one of the most misunderstood and least well-known medical conditions today. Because doctors most do not look for it, nor treat it: 1 in 3 (30%) of women with chronic pelvic pain get misdiagnosed and no treatment 1 in 6 (16.7%) of women and 1 in 30 (3%) of men with leg varicose veins get incomplete treatment and a higher risk of recurrence Women with intimate varicose veins of vagina, vulva, and labia do not get offered curative treatment However, research over the last 20 years has led us to know how we can investigate it and cure most people who have it. Moreover, research is showing how hemorrhoids (piles), varicocele in men and some erectile dysfunction are also due to pelvic venous disorders, and how new treatments are being developed for each. Pelvic Congestion Syndrome - Chronic Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Venous Disorders explains the concepts, the veins, how they go wrong to cause the problem - and how specialists at The Whiteley Clinic have spent 20 years developing the optimal investigations and treatments for this condition. This book is aimed at both the public and health care professionals who want to know more about this fascinating condition that affects millions of women and men in the world today.
