Chicago Vascular Doctor: New Article on Thrombophlebitis
March 7th, 2015. Chicago, IL. Chicago Vein Care Center has released a new article to help patients better understand the venous disorders that cause clots inside the veins. Although both superficial thrombophlebitis and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) produce blood clots and share similar symptoms, the Chicago vein treatment center asserts that DVT is a severe medical condition that requires immediate treatment from a Chicago vein expert. Superficial thrombophlebitis is unlike DVT in that it affects the superficial veins that do not lead directly to major organs and can frequently be treated with self-care. Both conditions can be painful for patients, but blood clots located inside the surface veins are not normally life threatening.
Dr. Ramon Castro is a board certified Chicago vascular doctor experienced in such venous conditions as thrombophlebitis and DVT. “When caught early, patients who develop a blood clot in the deep leg veins can expect a good outcome.” Patients needing treatment for venous conditions can expect accurate diagnoses and effective care from the center’s medical team.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Varicose veins and spider veins affect over 30 million people in the United States. Varicose veins are twisted, rope-like veins on the surface of the skin that may bulge and are usually bluish in color. Spider veins are small, web-like veins that appear reddish on the surface of the skin. Men and women suffer from varicose veins and spider veins, but women are more likely to have them.
The newest treatments for varicose veins and spider veins have a lot going for them. Endovenous laser treatment, sclerotherapy, radio frequency ablation and microphlebectomy are all minimally invasive treatments that can be performed in a vein specialist’s office in about an hour. This means minimal downtime for the patient, few side effects, and terrific results.
