When to see a phlebologist?

Presence of varicose veins: If you notice enlarged, elongated, and twisted veins on your legs, known as varicose veins, you should visit a phlebologist. Even if varicose veins are not causing any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor for an assessment of the condition and potential treatment.

Symptoms and discomfort: If you experience symptoms related to varicose veins such as pain, heaviness, swelling, leg fatigue, muscle cramps, itching, or burning, it is advisable to consult a phlebologist. These symptoms may indicate an advanced stage of venous disease.

Skin changes and ulcers: If you observe skin changes on your legs, such as discoloration, thickening, ulcers, or other abnormalities, it is important to seek medical attention from a phlebologist as soon as possible. These changes may be associated with an advanced stage of varicose veins and require proper diagnosis and treatment.

Family history: If there is a history of varicose veins or other venous diseases in your family, you have a higher risk of developing them. In such cases, regular check-ups with a phlebologist are recommended for early detection and prevention of potential complications.

Prevention: If you do not have varicose veins yet but have risk factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, pregnancy, prolonged standing or sitting, or smoking, you can consult a phlebologist for advice on varicose vein prevention and maintaining healthy legs.
