There are a multitude of causes for leg swelling, which can include disorders relating a number of organs (heart, kidneys, musculoskeletal) or infective causes. The key vascular causes of leg swelling include venous insufficiency or lymphatic insufficiency (lymphoedema).
At Yarra Vascular Surgeons, we undertake a thorough assessment of your health in order to determine which causes of leg swelling may be relevant for the patient. Often, a thorough assessment has already been performed by the referring doctor, and we can supplement that with our specialist vascular knowledge. Once a sound diagnosis is established, a shared treatment plan can be instituted.
