What is Varicose Veins Examination?

Depending on the failure in the deep vein system, it is sometimes seen that the structure of the superficial vein is enlarged. The important thing is not that the vein is thickened, but that it does not carry dirty blood or that it is not doing its job. This is only possible with the help of color doppler ultrasound.

Varicose Veins Examination

Varicose Veins Examination Ankara

Varicose veins examination is a mandatory examination procedure that should be performed for people suffering from varicose veins. Part of this procedure is an outpatient ultrasound Doppler procedure.

Diagnosis of Varicose Veins

The method of diagnosing varicose veins is a very controversial issue. Although some people state that the examination of varicose veins is only possible with a visual examination, in our opinion, it is not appropriate to perform the examination of varicose veins only with the eye. Because varicose veins may not always be close to the skin surface in a way that can be seen with the eye. There may be varicose veins between deeper tissues.

In such a case, it is possible to examine the entire veins of the legs close to the skin or between the tissues thanks to the standing color Doppler ultrasound to be performed by radiology specialist doctors.

Thus, the condition of the blood flow in the veins can be precisely determined. This examination will also allow venous mapping, which will also be used in the treatment of varicose veins.

Varicose veins is a disease of the vein in our legs that carries dirty blood upwards towards the heart. For this reason, color doppler ultrasound is used to examine whether these veins carry blood towards the heart. During this, the patient's leg is examined from the groin to the foot with standing color Doppler ultrasound.

How is varicose veins examined?

According to the images obtained during the examination, if these veins are not doing their job and the dirty blood that needs to be carried upwards is leaking downwards or causing accumulation instead of taking it upwards, it can be said that there is varicose veins in these veins.

  • Radiology specialists perform the varicose vein examination,
  • Color doppler ultrasound is used,
  • It is checked whether the veins are doing their job.

It is not possible to diagnose varicose veins by visual or manual examination. For this reason, color doppler ultrasound should be used when examining varicose veins. Therefore, the procedure must be performed by a Radiology Specialist.

Not every visible vein may be varicose veins!

On the other hand, not every visible or thickened vein does not necessarily mean varicose veins. Because sometimes the structure of the superficial vein is enlarged due to insufficiency in the deep vein system.

The important thing is not that the vein is thickened, but that it does not carry dirty blood or that it is not doing its job. This can only be done with the help of color doppler ultrasound.
