| Vein Problems and Warning Signs |
|
Varicose veins cause troublesome symptoms such as leg pain, aching, itching, throbbing, fatigue, swelling, nighttime muscle cramps , and even Restless Leg Syndrome. Varicose veins always worsen over time. Untreated, varicose vein disease can lead to complications such as blood clots (phlebitis), infections, bleeding, and ulcerations in the skin. These complications are completely preventable with effective treatment.
Unfortunately, countless patients are told by their doctors every day that nothing can be done for their vein problems, and they are forced to suffer needlessly for months or years. In actual fact, even patients with very severe vein disease and ulcerations can be effectively treated. No one need suffer from untreated varicose vein disease anymore.
Varicose and Spider Vein Treatments
The procedure or combination of procedures recommended will be based upon the nature of your specific venous problem and your overall health and age. The doctor may recommend an ultrasound examination to assess the severity and extent of your vein disease, most of which may not be visible on the surface of the leg. With an accurate ultrasound map of your veins, we can determine the exact source of your problem and treat it effectively.
Our surgical and non-surgical treatment techniques are done right in our office. Patients do not need general anesthesia or a stay in the hospital, and because local anesthesia is used, the procedures are virtually painless! Contrary to the old-fashioned regimens of bed rest after vein treatment, our patients are instructed to walk as much as possible immediately after surgery and in the days that follow. This speeds healing and helps to re-route blood to the deeper, healthier veins.
Most patients return to work and fairly normal activities the very next day. Strenuous exercise should be avoided during the first seven days after surgery, but unlimited walking is allowed. Our patients routinely say that vein treatment at the Vein Center of Charlotte is much easier than they ever expected. Perhaps that's why we see so many people referred by other patients!
