Diagnosis Of Varicose Veins

Your doctor will perform a physical exam, and inquire about your symptoms, family history, amount of exercise, and lifestyle to determine whether you have varicose veins.

 

To check on the health of your veins in the legs, your doctor could do an ultrasound scan or X-ray (5). Sound waves are used in this risk-free, painless examination to create images of the tissues inside your body. Blood clots and the functionality of your valves can both be seen on ultrasounds (3).
