In the event of a sudden worsening of limb circulation (pain, coldness, paleness, sensory disturbances), you should immediately go to the emergency department. This is a condition requiring urgent surgical intervention. Is a consultation with a vascular surgeon painful? The vascular surgeon consultation itself is not painful. The physical examination may involve slight discomfort, for example, when checking the pulse in the periphery of the limb or during the assessment of limb circulation, but it does not cause pain. Similarly, the Doppler ultrasound performed by the surgeon is not a painful examination. Can I receive a specific treatment plan during the first visit with a vascular surgeon? Yes, in most cases, during the first visit, after taking your medical history and conducting an examination, the vascular surgeon will present a preliminary treatment plan. However, this plan may be subject to modification after additional diagnostic tests are performed. Do all vascular conditions require surgery?

The frequency of follow-up depends on the type of condition and its stage of progression. Typically, follow-up visits are recommended every 3-6 months during active treatment, or every 12 months for preventative purposes.
