When should I see a vein care specialist?
You should see a vein specialist if:
- Your leg symptoms are interfering with your daily activities
- One of your veins becomes red, hard, warm or painful
- You have sudden increase in swelling in your leg
- The skin on your leg or ankle becomes dark or thickened
- You develop a sore or rash near your ankle
- You are unhappy with the appearance of your leg veins
- You had significant vein problems during pregnancy and plan to get pregnant again. Treating the underlying problem before the next pregnancy can help prevent a lot of misery.
