Question: my husband has a leaky blood vessel or vein that leaks into his groin area and is very painful. This has happened twice in about 6weeks. what would be causing that and is there a Dr. that specializes in that type of blood happenings. It is very painful!!!l
Brief Answer:
Vascular surgeon should be helpful.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Does he take any blood thinners? Can you please attach a photo of this area? Is there any factor which could cause this kind of bleeding?
Generally a doctor who specializes with such issues is a vascular surgeon. If he has had a heart attach and in this location there was a catether inserted to put a stent to his heart vessels, an aneurysm of femoral artery can be the case. If so, angiography should be done and embolization of the aneurysm.
Hope this helps.
