Leg Swelling Treatment for Gulfport, MS Patients

For Gulfport residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's D’Iberville location offers leg swelling treatment in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Every visit starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider about your specific symptoms and goals.

What Is Leg Swelling?

Evaluation and treatment for leg swelling caused by underlying vein disease rather than treating the swelling alone.

Leg swelling is one of the most common symptoms of underlying vein disease. Dr. J. Keith Thompson evaluates swelling with an ultrasound to check for venous insufficiency, then treats the underlying vein — through vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy — rather than just the symptom.

Who This Helps

Gulfport patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about leg swelling:

  • Swelling in the lower legs and ankles, especially by the end of the day
  • Legs that feel tight or heavy
  • Swelling that improves overnight but returns during the day
  • Skin changes around a swollen area

How It Works & Recovery

At your consultation, you'll meet with your provider to talk through your symptoms and history. If an ultrasound is needed to map the affected veins, our Certified Vascular Sonographer can often perform it during the same visit, and you'll be given a treatment plan based on the results.

As the underlying vein disease is treated, many patients notice their swelling, heaviness, and aching gradually improve.
