Vascular disease is a highly complicated disease that may impact several organs/symptoms within the body. The vascular system carries blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen, nutrients, and other life-sustaining components to various organs and parts of the body. Additionally, the vascular system carries impurities from other parts of the body to systems like the digestive system, which expels the body’s impurities.
When the vascular system isn’t functioning correctly, it cannot transport oxygen and effectively return blood, which leads to trouble for the body overall. There are several different types of vascular disease, each with its symptoms. However, early symptoms of general vascular problems might include:
Leg pain when walking
Angina (chest pain)
Skin discoloration, especially blueness or pigmentation of the skin
Shiny, thin skin on the legs
Hair loss
Leg swelling
If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you should speak to a doctor about those symptoms as soon as possible. If they suspect vascular disease, they will likely refer you to a vascular specialist.
Vascular specialists surgeries frequently involve endovascular surgery and/or catheter-based surgery to open obstructed arteries and veins harmed by vascular disease.
