We care for your vascular health

The circulatory system plays a fundamental role in the functioning of our body. Certain alterations can affect circulation and cause symptoms or complications that require medical assessment.

Vascular Surgery addresses diseases affecting the blood vessels and allows for the study of problems related to both arterial and venous circulation.

When to see a Vascular Surgeon?

Some vascular problems can progress for a time without producing obvious symptoms. Therefore, in the presence of certain discomforts or changes related to circulation, a medical assessment is recommended.

Among the most common reasons for consultation are:

  • Feeling of heaviness or fatigue in the legs.
  • Swelling of the legs or ankles.
  • Pain or discomfort in the limbs.
  • Appearance of varicose veins or visible veins.
  • Frequent leg cramps.
  • Changes in color or temperature in the limbs.
  • Tingling sensation or alterations related to circulation.
  • Wounds or injuries that have difficulty healing.
  • History or risk factors related to vascular diseases.

Venous and arterial diseases

Vascular Surgery encompasses various pathologies that can affect the circulatory system.

Venous circulation problems

Alterations in the veins can cause symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, discomfort, or the appearance of varicose veins. A specialized assessment allows for the study of the problem and determines the most appropriate approach.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are dilations of the veins that can appear primarily in the legs. In addition to their visible appearance, they may be accompanied by heaviness, pain, swelling, or other discomforts.

Arterial circulation alterations

Problems affecting the arteries can hinder the proper blood supply to certain areas of the body. Their assessment allows for the identification of possible alterations and the establishment of the necessary follow-up.

An individualized assessment

Symptoms related to circulation can have different causes and do not always require the same treatment. Therefore, it is important to undergo an individualized medical assessment.

At Centro Médico Global, we offer close and professional care, listening to the patient’s symptoms and taking into account their history and risk factors to guide the diagnosis and next steps.

Vascular prevention and care

Caring for vascular health is also related to certain habits and risk factors. Maintaining an active life, eating well, avoiding tobacco, and undergoing medical follow-up when risk factors exist can contribute to cardiovascular and circulatory health.

When there are symptoms or a history that requires a specialized assessment, consulting with a professional allows for each situation to be studied individually.
