Why You Need the Experts at YRMC’s Vein Center
If you have varicose veins or spider veins, don’t dismiss them as a cosmetic problem. In addition to causing pain, varicose veins and spider veins may be signs of a serious condition called chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
What makes CVI dangerous? It increases your risk for deep vein thrombosis—blood clotting in the deep veins of the leg. Deep vein thrombosis – which strikes about one in 20 people – increases your risk for stroke and other dangerous conditions.
Check out these common CVI symptoms. If you suffer from any of them, talk to your doctor about a referral to the Vein Center at YRMC, or call (928) 759-5890.
