What causes Leg & Ankle Swelling?
One of the main causes of leg and ankle swelling is untreated varicose vein disease.
Diagnosis
At Aleman Vein Center, we understand that living with leg swelling or edema can be challenging, which is why we offer comprehensive diagnostic services and personalized treatments to help you achieve healthier legs. If you are experiencing leg and ankle swelling, you don’t have to suffer in silence.
Our team of vein specialists will begin with a thorough examination of your medical history, symptoms, and physical exam. While venous insufficiency is the leading cause of leg and ankle swelling, other factors may contribute, including DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg. This can obstruct blood flow and cause swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected leg. Lymphedema is a condition that occurs when the lymphatic system, which helps to remove excess fluid from the body, is not functioning properly. This can cause fluid to build up in the tissues and lead to swelling, typically in the feet and toes. Other medical conditions or medications may also contribute to leg swelling. Leading vein specialist Dr. Aleman and his team can help to sort out the cause of your swelling and address contributing factors.
