DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Doppler ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive, and painless exam used to assess:

  • Blood flow in veins and arteries
  • Presence of clots (thrombosis)
  • Aneurysms or arterial narrowing
  • Function of venous valves

It takes about 20 minutes, requires no preparation, and involves no radiation.

VARICOSE VEINS

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins, commonly seen in the legs. They are a sign of chronic venous disease, which may cause:

  • Pain, swelling, heaviness
  • Itching, skin discolouration
  • In severe cases, venous ulcers

Risk factors include: family history, pregnancy, hormonal contraceptives, prolonged standing or sitting, obesity, and natural ageing.

Prevention and early treatment are essential to avoid complications and improve your quality of life.
