Varicose Vein Treatment for Sumrall, MS Patients
For Sumrall residents dealing with vein concerns, the Vein Institute's Hattiesburg location offers varicose vein 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 Varicose Veins?
Treatment for enlarged, damaged leg veins that can cause aching, swelling, and skin changes if left untreated.
Dr. J. Keith Thompson evaluates each patient to find the underlying cause of varicose veins, often starting with an in-office ultrasound to map how blood is flowing through the leg. Depending on the size and location of the vein, treatment may include vein ablation (EVLT, radiofrequency ablation, VenaSeal, or Varithena), microphlebectomy, or sclerotherapy to close or remove the damaged vein so blood reroutes through healthier veins nearby.

Who This Helps
Sumrall patients often come to the Vein Institute with one or more of these symptoms or questions about varicose veins:
- Bulging, rope-like veins visible under the skin
- Aching, throbbing, or a feeling of heaviness in the legs
- Swelling in the lower legs and ankles
- Itching or burning near an affected vein
- Skin discoloration close to a varicose vein
- Symptoms that worsen after standing or sitting for long periods
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.
Most varicose vein procedures are performed in-office using local anesthesia, with little to no downtime. Many patients resume normal activities the same day, and walking is encouraged right after treatment to support circulation.
