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
Answer: Lump after sclerotherapy To be on the conservative side. warm compress with compression stockings should do the trick. If there is significant pain and/or swelling I would recommend seeing your treating doctor to determine if more invasive treatment is needed. This can include draining the "trapped" blood in the treated vein.

Answer: Sclerotherapy follow up We routinely see patients after sclerotherapy for varicose veins and if there are lumps that are painful, we perform an urgent venous Duplex scan to exclude DVT - which is rare but a known side effect of sclerotherapy.
