FAQ
Before you ask
Your question is not here?
Write to Dr. Imad directly on WhatsApp with a short description of your case.
Ask on WhatsAppWhen should I see a vascular surgeon?+
With leg pain when walking, varicose veins or swollen legs, a foot wound that does not heal (especially in diabetics), a cold or discoloured foot, or when you need a dialysis fistula.
Do varicose veins always need an operation?+
No. It depends on how severe they are and on the Doppler scan: compression stockings and medication, a minimally invasive procedure or surgery. The doctor chooses after the examination.
What are the latest varicose vein treatments?+
Closing the faulty vein from the inside with radiofrequency, endovenous laser or medical glue, under light local anaesthesia in about half an hour, and the patient goes straight back to normal life. The doctor chooses the method after a Doppler scan.
What is endovascular treatment?+
Treatment through a thin catheter inside the vessel, such as widening an artery with a balloon or placing a stent, without a large incision and usually with a shorter recovery.
Does a Doppler scan hurt?+
No. It is an ultrasound scan on the skin, with no pain and no needles, and it shows the blood flow in the arteries and veins.
Where are the clinics and how do I book?+
Two clinics: Ashrafiyat Sahnaya (daily 6–8 pm except Tuesday, WhatsApp +963 999 372 447), and the American Medical Hospital clinic in Damascus (daily 1–3 pm, WhatsApp +963 989 370 587).
