March 27th, 2014. Chicago, IL. Chicago Vein Care Center announces the publication of a new article to alert the public to the seriousness of the very common disease known as deep vein thrombosis. According to the vein center, Chicago residents with high risk factors for DVT are in danger of dying from this “hidden killer.”
According to Dr. Ramon Castro, medical director of the Chicago vein treatment center, the fact that DVT exhibits few overt symptoms is what makes it most dangerous. “Unlike some other forms of vein disease, deep vein thrombosis manifests no visible symptoms, so most of the people with DVT don’t even know that they have it.” He further feels that the danger this poses is unnecessary, because DVT can be diagnosed in a short, painless, and non-invasive venous health screening, and then treated so that it does not become life-threatening.
Chicago Vein Care Center hopes that the information in this new article reaches the general public – especially those with high risk factors for DVT – and convinces them to seek vein disease treatment in Chicago, get a DVT screening, and thus potentially save their lives. Patients and prospective patients seeking more information about DVT, other vein diseases, and the effective treatment of them can find it on the center’s website at: www.yourveinexpert.com.
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.
