Varicose Veins

[Letseng]

I'm looking for recommendation for phlebologist/vascular surgeon in Bangkok for varicose vein issue. I wear compression stockings. Suddenly an area on the lower leg is slightly painful & red = vein inflammation? I would like to see somebody asap. Thank you.

Make sure it's not DVT.....sharpish.

Yes, needs to be immediately evaluated.

 

Pretty much all the hospitals in Bkk have vascular surgeons.

 

Where in Bangkok? Public or private?

A hospital visit is priority to check DVT or even VTE

Sounds like Venous insufficiency?  As you say, see a Vascular surgeon A.S.A.P.

Two that state on their web-sites that they have vein surgeons:

 The Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok (MRT to Petchaburi Exit 1, thence hospital minibus to hospital every hour)

 The Yanhee Hospital in Bangkok (almost next to Bang-O station on MRT Blue Line)

 

Visited four other hospitals before these and all four were useless.

Recommend Bangkok Nursing Home (BNH) on Convent Rd.

As has been explained, any large hospital, public or private,  will have vascular surgeon.  And any vascvular surgeon can evaluate this.

 

Still waiting for OP to indicate a preferred location and whether public or private.

 

He should not delay.

Private as it is easier.

Went to Bumrungrad as this was easiest & instant appointment.. Doc offhand decided it isn't  DVT but just a phlebitis. Didn't want to do ultrasound. Just got medication. I'm not too happy as I have experienced different treatment in Europe.

If you want a second opinion (or further treatment for your varicose veins) I suggest this doctor
