This condition affects everyone \u2013 both men and women. However, women are usually the first to notice changes, often being concerned about the cosmetic appearance of their legs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Do not give in to this condition and limit your life; instead, take control of it,\u2019 advised vascular surgeon and phlebologist Ar\u016bnas Grinkevi\u010dius, speaking about varicose veins, which affect many people.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in spring, is the best time to treat venous diseases. Coronavirus infection can exacerbate the condition, and treatment with the most innovative laser is safe and effective.<\/p>\n<p>Leg pain or swelling does not appear immediately; first, the cosmetic appearance worsens \u2013 thread veins become visible on the skin, and the veins become enlarged. Therefore, vascular surgeon A.Grinkevi\u010dius of the Baltic American Clinic promptly examines the leg circulation of patients who consult him, using a leg ultrasound, also known as a Duplex scan, to look for significant underlying issues that are not visible to the naked eye. This scan shows clinicians not only the anatomy and structure of the veins, but also the direction of blood flow, which is essential for making a diagnosis. In advanced stages of varicose veins, the direction of blood flow in the legs changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If addressed in time during the early stages, this condition can be easily treated. When a patient presents with a long-neglected issue, where their legs have prominent, bulging, tortuous veins, we often have to discuss surgical treatment. At that stage, it is no longer a cosmetic concern but a health issue, and the situation will only get worse,\u2019 the doctor explained.<\/p>\n<p>If you frequently experience tired or itchy legs, swelling, or can see a network of veins, it is essential to seek a consultation. A.Grinkevi\u010dius consults and treats patients in Vilnius, at the Baltic American Therapy and Surgery Clinic. <a href=\"https:\/\/bak.lt\/en\/doctors\/grinkevicius-arunas\/\">You can also register online.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Consultations are also held once a month in \u0160iauliai.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next consultation dates in \u0160iauliai:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<blockquote><p><strong>17 August 2024<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note \u2013 spaces are limited!
