March 25, 2017. Chicago, IL. Chicago Vein Care Center (CVCC) announces the publication of an article on how to know the symptoms of DVT. According to the Chicago-based practice, failing to go to the Chicago vein treatment center for diagnosis and treatment of vein disease can result in the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs. DVT can also advance to a life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism if the blood clot travels to a lung and blocks the vein, preventing blood from getting to the organ.
Dr. Ramon Castro, the sole practitioner at CVCC, explains “Recognizing the symptoms of swelling and cramping pain in the affected leg can prompt people to go to the Chicago vein expert to monitor and/or treat the condition before it advances.” Dr. Castro goes on to say that some people do not experience symptoms with DVT, and thus should be familiar with the warning signs of pulmonary embolism. These include shortness of breath, lightheadedness or dizziness, chest pain that worsens with breathing or coughing, and fainting.
Dr. Castro recommends that patients with varicose veins undergo vein removal in Chicago to prevent their condition from advancing to one that is more serious or may even be life-threatening. While the symptoms of DVT should be analyzed soon after they appear, the symptoms of pulmonary embolism require immediate medical attention.
Dr. Castro explains that taking preventive measures to reduce the risk of either of these conditions is the best approach to treatment. The Chicago vascular doctor will use the most modern equipment to view the deep veins of the legs and determine exactly what is causing the symptoms. Call 773-295-2101 or visit the center’s website at www.yourveinexpert.com to schedule an appointment for a vascular screening that will detect any current problems and help prevent them from developing in the future.
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.
