There are multiple therapies that may be used for addressing superficial vein thrombosis. The treatment that is used will vary depending on the severity of the thrombosis, as well as the symptoms it is producing. We may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, depending on the situation.
There are a lot of reasons why a person may experience superficial vein thrombosis. In women, this superficial vein thrombosis often takes the form of varicose veins. Although superficial vein thrombosis is not seen as attractive, it rarely progresses to the point where it causes serious or life-threatening conditions.
Some of the more common symptoms you will experience include pain and tenderness. The skin that sits over the affected area is usually warmer than the rest of the skin on your body.
Our medical professional may diagnose you with superficial vein thrombosis by doing a physical examination, as well as by looking at your medical history. If your superficial vein thrombosis presents itself higher than your knee, you are at greater risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. So, we are going to take additional steps to provide protection. One step may be encouraging you to get an ultrasound.
In most cases, after using a combination of medication and other techniques, the inflammation you are experiencing goes away within a few days. It may take some weeks before the tenderness or the lumps that are produced by this infirmity disappear. If the pain that you are experiencing is affecting your everyday life, we may remove the affected veins altogether and then have you use a compression bandage. This compression agent will be used for multiple days until your symptoms subside.
Dealing with superficial vein thrombosis can be a challenge, but it is one that can be controlled by using the right medication and the right supervision from a qualified medical professional.

Consultation
by Alan. Trufal
Category: generalAfter 3 veinous ultrasounds, due to a swollen left leg and painful ankle when walking, I got my doctor to refer me to Canada Vein Clinic. Another ultrasound was done in house. I lucked into a virtual consultation with Dr. Matz himself, shortly after , fully expecting a recommendation for one of the vein treatments . Laser was what I expected. Much to my surprise , after being asked a number of questions relating to my symptoms, Dr. Matz suggested that there was no serious vein problem . He recommended an arterial ultrasound, which was also done in house , shortly afterwards. Before I forget , I would also like to thank the staff , and in particular Sasha , for all her help and concern. It appears that I do have minor vein and artery issues in my left leg. But , nothing that would require any intervention at this point in time. I cannot thank Dr. Matz enough. I believe he is a very honest , caring and most competent doctor . If I ever do need a vein procedure , I will return to have Dr. Matz do it.
VenaSeal
by Billie Johnston
Category: generalGreat experience at Canada Vein Clinic. I had the procedure done approximately 3 years ago to remove my varicose veins. It has taken me this long to leave a review because I wanted to be sure it lasted. It has! I was VERY nervous, but on the day of the procedure felt comfortable and confident that I was "in good hands". The actual procedure was not painful and not even uncomfortable. However, 3 or 4 days after, I did develop pain and discomfort (because I did not follow instructions). It was recommended that I apply Arnica and I did not. When I developed the pain, I did start applying the Arnica and within a day everything was as it should be. Highly recommend Canada Vein Clinic. Very professional, courteous, and informative. And my leg is still smooth and vein free after 3 years!
Venalseal
by Gisele McCann
Category: vein therapyI had contacted Dr.Matz at the Canada Vein Clinic to have removal of some very large veins reviewd. Since I have some medical issues, Dr.Matz suggested that the safest way to achieve this would be with the venaseal procedure. Ultrasounds confirmed that this would be the safest way. I was aware that it may not result in a 100% result. The procedure was basically pain free with a minimal amount of bruising and very fast recovery. Multible Ultrasound checks over 1 years Confirmed that the procedure was successful and improved with time. I submitted pictures for a telephone consultation with Dr.Matz and was assured that minor issues could be addressed at a later date. I was treated with the utmost professionalism by Dr.Matz and the clicic staff. I would recommend to get an assessment by Drt.Matz at Canada Vein Clinics. GMCC
Never felt better
by Lori Brummell
Category: vein therapyOne year ago I got my various veins done. My legs have never felt better. It is expensive but well worth it.
Venaseal Treatment
by Francesco Giordano
Category: vein therapyMy varicose vein was so bad that my calf was almost double the size of the other one. After my Venaseal treatment with Dr. Matz, it has shrunk down to the same as the other one with some minor bruising as the only evidence left of the varicose vein. All the staff at the clinic were friendly and kind. Overall it was a great experience.
