Do Not Postpone Treatment

Varicose veins can start out as a seemingly small problem, but left untreated, can become much more serious. Complicati­ons of varicose veins may include ulcers. These may form on the skin near the affected veins, particular­ly near the ankles. They are caused by fluid build-up in the dysfunctio­nal veins, and can be extremely painful. Dysfunctio­nal veins can also increase the risk of blood clots. Patients may experience a swelling in the leg, which may indicate a blood clot. Left untreated, these clots can travel through the bloodstrea­m and lodge near the heart or lungs, causing potentiall­y life-threatenin­g health problems. If you have already decided you’d like to receive vein treatments or would like to get a diagnosis, simply schedule an appointmen­t with USA Vein Clinics today by calling (847) 983-6086.
