Swollen Legs Every Evening? Don’t Ignore These Warning Signs | Dr Vikash Chennur

Leg swelling can have many causes. It may be related to varicose veins and venous insufficiency, prolonged sitting or standing, lymphedema, certain medications, or problems affecting the heart, kidneys, or liver. But sudden swelling in one leg, especially when accompanied by pain, warmth or redness, can be a warning sign of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and should not be ignored. A Doppler ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate blood flow in the leg veins and help identify conditions such as venous insufficiency or a blood clot. Remember: swelling is a symptom. Finding the cause is the important first step. If your leg swelling is persistent, recurrent, painful, sudden, or associated with skin changes, get it properly evaluated.
