When these valves become weak, blood can pool in the lower legs. this stretches out the veins and causes bulging varicose veins to be visible on the legs. When the veins stretch, it can cause ache, heaviness and pain in the legs. The legs can also swell. Long term, there can be skin changes in the lower legs such as brown or red ... continue reading...
Varicose Vein Treatment Reduces risks of DVT

Blood clots after orthopedic surgery are associated with higher death rates, rehospitalization, costs, and bleeding within 1 year, compared to patients who do not develop blood clots after orthopedic surgery. The strong activation of the clotting cascade that occurs during ... continue reading...
