Vein Disease More Pronounced, Earlier in Some Arabic Women
Drawing upon five years of experience and performing over 7,000 cases, a notable correlation between race and chronic venous insufficiency has been observed. Specifically, Arabic women have presented with severe varicose veins, characterized by both significant size and length, at an earlier age of onset.
This observation aligns with existing literature. Research focusing on Saudi Arabian women indicates a statistically significant prevalence of chronic venous insufficiency within that population compared to Western countries. Studies suggest that nearly 50% of women in Saudi Arabia experience vein disease. Given the acknowledged underdiagnosis and undertreatment of this condition, this figure represents a substantial portion of the population.
In light of these observations and existing data, young Arabic women experiencing symptomatic varicose veins are advised to be proactive in seeking timely vein treatment.
Delaying intervention until the condition progresses may necessitate more extensive and prolonged treatment. Clinical experience has shown instances of very young Arabic women presenting with widespread varicose veins affecting multiple areas of their legs, requiring more comprehensive treatment approaches.
