Leg Swelling Treatment for Purvis, MS Patients
Patients from Purvis travel a short distance to our Hattiesburg office for leg swelling treatment. The Vein Institute is home to South Mississippi's only 100%, full-time, board-certified vein specialist, and we welcome patients from Purvis and nearby communities.
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 ā through vein ablation, sclerotherapy, or microphlebectomy ā rather than just the symptom.
Read more on our main Leg Swelling page.
Who This Helps
Purvis 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
We keep the first visit simple ā check-in, then a conversation with your provider about your leg veins and any symptoms you're noticing. An ultrasound is frequently performed the same day, since it helps confirm whether venous insufficiency is contributing to your symptoms.
As the underlying vein disease is treated, many patients notice their swelling, heaviness, and aching gradually improve.
