Venous Insufficiency / Venous Mapping Bilateral
[su_row][su_column size=”1/2″ center=”no” class=””]Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common condition that affects the veins in the legs.
London Private Ultrasound provide a service of significance in the form of a duplex scan – which is invaluable in terms of diagnosing and managing this condition. This scan is for two limbs and will map the veins of both limbs during a single visit. For a scan of just one limb, we provide an alternative appointment booking form.
Varicose veins are a medical condition characterized by enlarged, twisted, and often painful veins, usually occurring in the legs. These veins become dilated and weakened, causing blood to flow backward and pool in the affected veins. Factors such as genetics, age, pregnancy, and prolonged standing can contribute to their development. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, itching, and the appearance of bulging veins.
A duplex scan, also known as a Doppler ultrasound, is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to assess and diagnose varicose veins. During a duplex scan, high-frequency sound waves are directed at the veins, and the reflected signals are analyzed to create detailed images of the veins and assess blood flow. This procedure can identify the location, size, and severity of varicose veins, aiding in treatment decisions. It is a valuable tool for doctors to determine the most appropriate treatment options, which may include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, or medical procedures like vein ablation or sclerotherapy, etc..depending on the extent of the condition.
