Diagnosis in Venous Insufficiency
For this reason, every patient with varicose veins must first be examined with color Doppler ultrasonography, a "map" of the diseased veins must be drawn and the treatment must be done according to this map. Color Doppler ultrasonography must be performed by an experienced physician on an outpatient basis and without straining, because the most important reason for incorrect or inadequate treatment in varicose veins is the wrong application or interpretation of color Doppler ultrasonography examination. This examination is a non-invasive, non-irritating examination and takes an average of half an hour.
