Leg Pain or Swelling Jupiter


 

Leg pain can be caused by many reasons – one of them being varicose veins or spider veins, an uncomfortable but treatable condition. However, with the help of Phlebology, venous veins and other vein related conditions can be treated without causing you more discomfort.

Leg Pain and Swelling Causes

The vein specialists in Jupiter fully understands that for our bodies to function at an optimum rate, efficient amounts of blood need to be circulated through the veins of your body. The blood pumping through the veins in your legs and arms are the blood used to feed other tissues in the body. Should these veins become blocked or narrowed, blood flow will be disrupted and could form a clot or buildup of blood within the vein. This causes veins to become larger than normal and might bulge near to the surface of the skin.

Contributing factors to varicose veins can be aging, genetics as well as mobility and weight issues.

Due to the fact that the veins are blocked or disrupted, your legs and arms could swell and become uncomfortable and even painful at times. You may experience dull or sharp lower leg vein pain that, with the help of a vein specialist in Jupiter, can be treated.

Leg Pain and Swelling Risk Factors

If you have venous veins or experience vein problems that cause you discomfort and pain, you should procure a professional vein specialist treat these veins. Should you leave these veins to become more painful while the swelling increases, you are increasing the risk of having a blood clot.

This is extremely dangerous as when a blood clot frees itself from where it originated, it can obliterate anything in its path, causing serious damage to your health and other bodily functions.

Treatment for Painful or Swollen Legs

Varicose veins that cause leg pain and swollen legs can be treated in a vein specialist’s office. With some procedures, you don’t have any downtime and can resume everyday activities after treatment.

Treatment for swollen legs include:

  • Conservative treatment

Conservative treatments often include herbal supplements that can be taken orally to help reduce the swelling and the vein pain. A compression stocking can also be used to apply pressure to the leg while assisting blood flow through your veins.

  • Sclerotherapy

This type of treatment includes a solution called sclerosant being injected directly into the affected vein. This solution causes the vein to collapse and be absorbed by the body. Blood flow will then resume normally.

  • Surgery

Surgical procedures include ligation, a procedure where the saphenous vein is stripped. Another procedure is PIN stripping where a PIN stripper is inserted into the vein to strip it from the area. A procedure called Ambulatory Phlebectomy can also be done by flooding the area around the vein with anesthetic fluid and then using a needle with a hole in it to remove the affected vein.

  • Endovenous surgery

Endovenous surgical procedures include laser therapy, ultrasound-based therapy as well as radio frequency ablation.
