Phlebology

Venology as a sub-area of ​​vascular medicine focuses on changes in veins and lymphatic vessels.

This includes the diagnosis and therapy of acute events such as thrombosis of the deep veins and thrombosis of the superficial veins or chronic leg swelling.

Here, too, the exact color ultrasound examination, in addition to a detailed survey of the patient's previous history and a physical examination, plays an important role. Light reflection rheography (measurement of venous pumping performance and refilling time) is also used.

In the case of frequently recurring thromboses or familial accumulation, special coagulation diagnostics using laboratory tests is recommended. For this purpose, I offer detailed advice on the risk of thrombosis and any necessary blood thinning treatment.

Spider veins and smaller varicose veins can be destroyed.

In the case of necessary varicose vein surgeries, I advise on the existing surgical options, their modern alternatives and the procedure that is suitable for you. I would be happy to discuss your findings with surgeons with whom I maintain good contact.

Even before long-distance trips are planned, I offer an assessment of your individual risk of thrombosis and possible preventive measures.

In the case of lymphedema, individual diagnostics and therapy are carried out, such as compression therapy and the prescription of manual lymph drainage.
