188 - Venous Insufficiency (Dr. Michael Hummel)

<p>Dr. Michael Hummel, interventional radiologist at Radiology Consultants of Iowa, joins Dr. Arnold to discuss venous insufficiency signs, symptoms, risk factors and treatment. <br/><br/>This episode was inspired by a Mailbag question submitted by one of our listeners.<br/><br/>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?<br/><br/>Do you have a question about a trending medical topic? Ask Dr. Arnold!
