Deep Vein Thrombosis


Nobody wants to have unsightly veins spread on their skin. If you are constantly complaining of pain amounting to aches or cramps on your legs and are troubled by heaviness in your legs and general tiredness, you might have to check with your physician. In women, the menstrual cycle and pregnancy can severely impact patients too.

Deep Vein Thrombosis - Sclerotherapy has been used for a long time as a treatment option for spider veins. Best suited for medium to large spider veins, the process involves injecting a liquid agent through a tiny needle directly into problem areas. This results in contraction or collapse of the spider veins. Depending on the number, the relatively painless procedure may last for an hour and you might have to use an ace bandage or compression hose for a week to ten days.
