Common questions about varicose veins

Varicose veins are a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly adults. These visible, twisted veins are often a cosmetic concern, but for some, they can cause discomfort and even lead to more serious health issues.

Is varicose vein surgery worth it?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that commonly occur in the legs due to weakened or damaged valves within the veins, causing blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back to the heart. Many people with varicose veins consider surgery to alleviate symptoms and improve leg appearance, but the decision to proceed with surgery depends on individual circumstances.

The importance of early detection and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in primary care

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where a blood clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the legs. Left untreated, it can lead to life-threatening complications, such as a pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs. Early detection and management of DVT are critical in primary care to prevent these complications and improve patient outcomes.

When blood is much thicker than water: what to know about thrombophilia

Thrombophilia is when the blood clots too frequently and very quickly. It is a disorder that can be genetic or acquired and will cause clots in the veins and arteries, obstructing flow. While blood clots can help stop wounds from bleeding and help them scab over faster to promote healing, internally this can cause issues. The body should normally break them down after time, but with thrombophilia, the body makes too many and also doesn’t break down the older ones fast enough. An expert surgeon and professor in the vascular system shares with us what you need to understand about thrombophilia.
