Venous disease treatment can prevent serious complications. Your Sentara care team, including , offers a range of options to treat venous disease, from spider veins to deep vein thrombosis. Your doctor may recommend medical management, minimally invasive procedures or surgical treatment.
If appropriate for your condition, we will first offer you non-invasive treatments. We might prescribe compression stockings to relieve your venous disease. Compression socks help blood move back to the heart. Your doctor may also recommend medications. Blood thinners (anticoagulants) and clot-busting medications called thrombolytics can help prevent clots from forming.
With this type of monitoring, called watchful waiting, you will undergo regularly scheduled medical imaging tests. If your condition changes enough to require additional treatment, your doctor may recommend a minimally invasive procedure or surgery.
