Varicose veins treatment Schaumburg present as elongated and twisted bumps on the legs and feet. Varicosity is more than just a cosmetic concern. If left untreated, inflammation of the blood vessels can lead to serious medical issues.
Blood Clots
The risk of clots is the primary reason to undergo vein treatment in Schaumburg. When blood flows from the legs to the heart, a valve in the vein opens to let the blood through, after the blood passes, the valve is supposed to close to prevent backflow. Varicosity causes venous reflux, a malfunctioning of the valve in the blood vessel, causing blood to accumulate, forming a clot in the veins.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
A clot in the deeper veins is a potentially fatal condition known as deep vein thrombosis or DVT. If the clot breaks free of the blood vessel, it can reach the heart or brain, causing an embolism.
Leg Ulcers
If ignored, varicose veins can ulcerate, causing sores on the legs. Inflammation, heaviness in the leg that is affected, excruciating pain in the leg, and a change in skin hue around the sore are symptomatic of leg ulcers. Without medical attention, the sores can become gangrenous.
