How long should I avoid certain products/medications after sclerotherapy? What activities should be avoided (using steam room or hot tub etc.)
I am fairly cautious after treatment so my standard protocol involves 7 days of wearing compression stockings, avoiding strenuous impact exercise and staying out of hot tubs and bath tubs. At the same time encouraging at least 1/2 hour of walking per day and the application of Traumeel day after bathing to decrease inflammation and bruising. I follow up with my patients at 1 week, 3 weeks and 6 weeks.
Its been 2wks since 1st sclero, I have a hard bruised lump on back of thigh - should I get this gently drained asap or wait until follow up apptmt May 26? Thank you
It is common to get a lumpy feeling in the sclerosed vein following injections. As long it is not overly painful and you are not experiencing swelling or tenderness in the calf when you flex your foot it is ok to wait until your recheck appointment on the 26th.
Sometimes we like to drain the sclerosed vein during this period to decrease the possibility of hemociteron staining but your chances of staining does not significantly increase by waiting those few days.
