January 17th, 2014. Chicago, IL. Chicago Vein Treatment Center is putting out a new article to educate the public on the severity of swollen legs and ankles as a complication of vein disease. According to the Chicago based center, vein disease can often be mistaken for other conditions. Swollen legs and ankles are just one of these serious complications, and it should not be ignored.
Dr. Ramon Castro, Director of the vein clinic in Chicago, is a proponent of patients seeking treatment in the early stages of vein disease. According to Dr. Castro, “Vein disease is a progressive condition that only gets worse over time. If the condition is caught before the problems worse, the outcome for the patient is better and the patient will experience less suffering overall.”
The article discusses some of the reasons vein disease may cause swelling in the lower extremities, such as deep vein thrombosis and venous reflux. The complications of swelling, such as pain or skin changes, are also mentioned.
The center hopes this information reaches individuals needing vein care in Chicago and encourages patients to seek prompt care for vein problems. For more information on this and other vein topics, or to schedule an appointment, please visit:
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.
