The importance of the doctor-patient relationship in the treatment of varicose veins

Prevention and early diagnosis are the “key” to treating the disease.

“Usually the first thing the patient notices on the legs and starts to worry about are the unsightly varicose veins or swollen, particularly palpable veins with often serpentine course, the varicose veins. The presence of varicose veins is often accompanied by a feeling of heaviness, burning, itching and swelling of the lower extremities”, explains Mr. Konstantinos N. Xiromeritis, MD, PhD, MSc, Vascular Surgeon – Doctor of the University of Athens, Director of the 4th Vascular Surgery Clinic – Endoluminal Laser of Venous Diseases Metropolitan General.

In order to deal with this serious problem, it is necessary for the patient to contact a specialized vascular surgeon, who has experience in dealing with venous diseases with modern minimally invasive intraluminal techniques.

In the event that, after taking a detailed history and performing a diagnostic triplex of the veins of the lower extremities, venous insufficiency is diagnosed and varicose veins are clinically identified, the patient, with the scientific and emotional guidance of the treating vascular surgeon, will choose the appropriate, individualized and more modern treatment method that can sometimes be combined.

After the detailed mapping of the venous network, the patient must be informed about the possibility and options of painless treatment.

In short, an ally and companion on the patient’s path to effective treatment is always the experienced, qualified vascular surgeon he chooses. Together they will face the potentially dangerous condition, together they will choose the ideal way of treatment and rehabilitation.

“The doctor-patient relationship is therefore often a lifelong relationship. For this very reason, it must have those quality characteristics that will make it have the best possible results and of course endure over time, that is honesty, understanding, respect, emotional security and mutual trust”, concludes Mr Xiromeritis.
