Understanding and Treating Leg Swelling at Tinsley Surgical
What causes leg swelling?
Persistent or severe swelling in the legs, also known as edema, often indicates an underlying health condition that requires medical attention. Common causes of leg swelling include:
Venous insufficiency: When veins in the legs fail to circulate blood effectively.
Varicose veins: Swollen, twisted veins that can cause discomfort and swelling.
Lymphedema: A condition caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system.
Heart, kidney, or liver conditions: These systemic issues may lead to fluid retention and swelling.
At Tinsley Surgical in Wilmington, NC, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment options to identify and address the root cause of leg swelling.
