Consultation with a phlebologist

Phlebologist is a doctor specializing in venous diseases, their diagnosis, treatment and further prevention. Professional consultation with a phlebologist will help to identify and diagnose the following vascular diseases in time: varicose veins, post-thrombotic disease, angiodysplasia, phlebopathy and others.

Usually, varicose veins disease, at an early stage of development, manifests itself only in the form of a cosmetic defect, however, the development of the disease can lead to serious complications. In the development of varicose veins disease, hereditary weakness of the venous wall plays a huge role. Also, do not forget about other risk factors, in particular pregnancy, standing work, sharp physical activity, etc. The insidiousness of this disease lies in the fact that for a long time the patient may not feel much discomfort in the legs, however, there will always be a threat of various complications. That is why a timely consultation with a phlebologist will help to identify the disease in the early stages, and most importantly, to avoid irreversible consequences and complications.

In addition to the acute form of varicose veins, today phlebologists are increasingly meeting with the chronic course of this disease. Regardless of whether you can see swollen, sinuous veins on your legs, thickened varicose veins, similar to grape bunches, or the first spider veins and migrating burning pain have just appeared, a phlebologist's consultation will help you make an accurate diagnosis, and, if necessary, carry out preventive and therapeutic therapy.

Phlebologist consultation consists of several stages. At the first visit, the doctor will collect an anamnesis (a detailed history of the onset and treatment of the disease, cases of vascular diseases in close relatives, previous examination methods, including ultrasound, CT, MRI, laboratory tests and other tests that were performed on the patient at the time of the initial visit).
The second stage is an objective physical examination, during which the doctor will necessarily examine the lower extremities, determine the level of arterial pulsation, check the symptoms and signs of neurological or musculoskeletal pathology characteristic of thrombosis.
During the third stage, an ultrasound examination of the veins and arteries of the lower extremities will be performed using additional imaging techniques. Ultrasound - examination will enable the doctor to establish the exact cause of the disease, to visualize the sites of vascular blockages or inoperative venous valves.
The fourth and final stage of receiving a phlebologist is drawing up a further plan for further examination and treatment. At this stage, the doctor can send for additional examination or analyzes with justification of the appropriateness of their implementation. Also, the doctor will determine the treatment plan based on the results of the physical examination and ultrasound. Depending on the stage of the disease, the doctor will suggest you:
• surgical treatment of acute surgical pathology;
• minimally invasive treatment (endovascular techniques);
• radiofrequency or laser correction of the saphenous veins.
