Which department should I visit for a capillary examination?
Under normal circumstances, capillary examinations can be conducted at departments such as dermatology, vascular surgery, dermatology, internal medicine, and cardiology. Specific details are as follows:
1. Dermatology
Dermatologists are usually responsible for examining capillaries and vascular issues on the skin, such as telangiectasia and capillary hemangiomas. They can perform relevant examinations and treatments, including laser therapy and sclerotherapy injections, to address these conditions.
2. Vascular Surgery
If capillary problems involve deeper vascular systems, such as major blood vessels or deep veins, expertise from a vascular surgeon may be required. They can perform various vascular examinations and treatments, including angiography and vascular stenting.
3. Dermatology
For common skin-related vascular conditions, such as bruising caused by broken capillaries or vascular tumors, dermatologists can also provide treatment and advice.
4. Internal Medicine
Internal medicine physicians can conduct comprehensive physical examinations to assess underlying health issues potentially related to vascular problems and refer patients to appropriate specialists when necessary.
5. Cardiology
If vascular issues related to the cardiovascular system—such as coronary artery disease or varicose veins—are suspected, cardiologists can perform relevant evaluations and treatments.
It should be noted that disease categorization and departmental structures may vary between hospitals. Before registration, it is advisable to consult healthcare professionals first to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
