Varicose & DVT Treatments
Minimally Invasive Vein Disease Doctors Across Greensboro, Rural North Carolina, & Virginia
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged superficial veins that are visible on the skin. They occur as a result of faulty valves of leg veins leading to ‘venous insufficiency’. Symptoms of venous insufficiency include visible varicose veins, skin itching/inflammation, leg swelling, and dull aching pain in your legs worsened by prolonged standing. If the venous insufficiency symptoms progress, you could develop a wound (or venous ulcer) that is unable to heal. At Sunrise Vascular, we have expertise in diagnosing venous insufficiency and treating with minimally invasive therapies.
Deep Vein Thrombosis / Blood Clot
A blood clot that develops in a deep vein is called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Symptoms of DVT include pain, redness, and swelling. DVT can be caused due to a variety of factors including immobilization, trauma, cancer, or genetic predisposition. One of the predispositions to getting DVT is called May-Thurner syndrome, where there is compression of a vein in the pelvis by an adjacent artery. At Sunrise Vascular, we have expertise in diagnosing vascular issues related to DVT and treating with minimally invasive therapies.
Is a Vein Problem Harming Your Legs?
Have you noticed pain or swelling in your legs? Do your symptoms worsen when you’re sitting or standing in one position? If so, you may have chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This vein problem can damage tissue or even cause blood clots. In some cases, treatment is needed right away. If you think you have a vein problem, contact your doctor. He or she can determine the severity of your problem and recommend treatment.
Knowing If You’re At Risk
CVI occurs more often than you might think. Vein problems can affect men and women of any age. But certain risk factors make them more likely to occur. These include:
