Leg swelling can indicate a serious underlying health issue that warrants evaluation by a specialist. At Tristate Vein Specialists, we are dedicated to identifying the cause of your leg swelling and providing effective, personalized treatments to alleviate discomfort and enhance your quality of life. Known as edema, leg swelling often results from fluid accumulation or inflammation in the tissues and muscles of the legs. Various factors can contribute to this condition, including venous insufficiency, prolonged periods of standing or sitting, certain medications, and medical conditions such as heart, kidney, or liver disease.
Common symptoms associated with leg swelling may include:
At Tristate Vein Specialists, our treatment options for leg swelling may include:
Certain cases of leg swelling may necessitate medical intervention. At Tristate Vein Specialists, we may recommend one of the following procedures:
Sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for leg swelling caused by problematic veins. At Tristate Vein Specialists, this procedure involves injecting a sclerosant solution directly into the affected veins. The solution irritates the vein walls, causing them to shrink and close off, which alleviates fluid buildup and reduces swelling in the legs.
The procedure is relatively quick, lasting between 5 to 30 minutes, and is tailored based on the size and number of veins being treated. Patients typically find this minimally invasive treatment both convenient and effective.
Phlebectomy is another specialized treatment available at Tristate Vein Specialists for leg swelling. During this procedure, our providers make tiny incisions in the leg to carefully extract problematic veins using a specialized hook tool. This precise technique allows for the removal of veins contributing to swelling, with minimal discomfort and scarring.
Phlebectomy is often performed in conjunction with sclerotherapy for enhanced results. In some cases, radiofrequency ablation may be employed beforehand to disable the problematic veins, followed by phlebectomy for their removal. This combination approach ensures a comprehensive treatment of the underlying causes of leg swelling.
The recovery and management of leg swelling depend on the underlying cause and the specific treatment method utilized. Our team at Tristate Vein Specialists offers comprehensive care and guidance for long-term management, assisting you in reducing the risk of recurrence and maintaining optimal leg function.
