What kind of doctor do you see for vein issues?
If you have vein issues, you must consult a vein doctor or vein specialist, also known as a phlebologist. Vein doctors can come from all fields of medicine, including dermatology, cardiology, cosmetic surgery, or anesthesiology, but they must have advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of vein disease. Vein doctors examine your leg veins, review your medical history, perform ultrasound diagnostic tests, and provide minimally invasive vein treatments.
How do I find the best vein doctor?
- Educational Background: Look for vein doctors with an exceptional educational background. They should have graduated from some of the country’s leading medical institutions, and they should have completed their residencies and fellowships.
- Board Certification: Look for ABVLM board-certified vein doctors because they’re officially recognized as the country’s top 1% vein specialists. To get board-certified, vein doctors must pass several challenging professional milestones and stay abreast of the latest developments in vein care.
- Vascular Imaging: Look for registered physicians in vascular imaging, i.e., vein doctors with specialized training in duplex ultrasound tests. Vascular imaging tests allow vein doctors to visualize the blood flow in your leg veins and identify vein disease, which is an essential component of vein treatments.
- Vein Treatments: Look for vein doctors specializing in minimally invasive vein treatments. If they recommend surgical treatments for varicose veins and spider veins, you should consider other vein doctors. Minimally invasive vein treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy, are safer, more effective, and more convenient.
- Insurance Verification: Look for vein doctors that provide free insurance verification for everyone. They should accept all major insurance plans and actively help you maximize your insurance coverage potential.
- Bedside Manners: Look for vein doctors with excellent bedside manners. You can generally determine if a vein doctor is friendly by going through their patient testimonials and reviews.
- Track Record: Go through the vein doctors’ patient testimonials and ratings on Google, Facebook, and RealSelf. The best vein doctors should have 5-star ratings and reviews from all patients, indicating a perfect track record.
When should I see a vascular doctor?
You should see a vascular doctor if you have the signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency. Venous insufficiency is a medical condition wherein your vein valves collapse, and blood accumulates in leg veins. The continued accumulation of blood in your leg veins leads to increased pressure on the vein walls, leading to numerous vascular problems.
You should treat chronic venous insufficiency at the earliest stage possible because it’s a chronic condition that worsens with time. The initial signs and symptoms of vein disease include leg heaviness, leg swelling, frequent leg cramps, spider veins, varicose veins, and restless leg syndrome, with symptoms that gradually escalate and worsen as the day progresses.
If left untreated, you may eventually experience skin discoloration, skin disease, leg ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis. These are the advanced complications of chronic venous insufficiency.
Are varicose veins and spider veins different?
Yes, varicose veins and spider veins are different. Spider veins are dense clusters of small blood vessels that appear on the skin’s surface without bulging out. Varicose veins are large, bulging veins that look like a twisted, tangled, or knotted mass of ropes protruding out from the skin’s surface. Varicose veins occur when excess blood accumulates in leg veins.
What are the symptoms of vascular disease?
- Leg heaviness
- Restless leg syndrome
- Leg swelling
- Frequent leg cramps
- Spider veins
- Varicose veins
- Skin discoloration
- Skin disease
- Leg ulcers
- Deep vein thrombosis
What is restless leg syndrome?
Restless leg syndrome is a condition wherein you have an incessant need to move or shake your legs. This can eventually interfere with your daily activities and cause insomnia, anxiety, and other problems.
Do varicose vein treatments involve downtime?
Minimally invasive spider vein and varicose vein treatments don’t involve any downtime or recovery period. They conclude within an hour and cause minimal side effects. As such, you can resume your daily activities immediately, provided you avoid strenuous workouts and wear compression stockings.
