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.
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.
