What does the examination for varicose veins in the lower limbs include?

Varicose veins in the lower limbs are a very common disease, which is more common in people who engage in physical labor. If it is serious, it will seriously affect the patient's life and make the patient miserable. Varicose veins in the lower limbs require timely treatment. If you want to treat it, you must diagnose it and find out the cause. So, what are the examinations for varicose veins in the lower limbs? Now I will introduce it to you, hoping it can help you.

Clinical manifestations of varicose veins of the limbs: 1. Superficial varicose veins of the lower limbs are tortuous, protruding from the skin, and coiled into a shape like an earthworm, commonly known as "tendon lumps"; 2. Soreness and pain in the affected limbs, which are more obvious when standing for a long time, lighter in the morning and heavier in the afternoon, and aggravated by fatigue; 3. Swelling of the affected limbs, sometimes cramps, itchy skin, eczema, dermatitis, dark pigmentation, and ulcers that do not heal for a long time.

Most patients can be diagnosed with varicose veins in the lower limbs through routine examinations of varicose veins in the lower limbs. However, the symptoms of varicose veins in some patients are not very obvious or the symptoms of varicose veins are more special. At this time, auxiliary examinations are needed. However, the necessary auxiliary examinations must be combined with the clinical data to be valuable.

The auxiliary examinations for varicose veins of the lower limbs mainly include laboratory examination, X-ray examination and non-invasive examination. Laboratory examination of varicose veins of the lower extremities mainly involves observing whether there are changes in the composition of the blood, whether there are abnormalities in blood circulation, etc. If the serum fibrinogen in the blood is elevated, the plasma viscosity is high, the red blood cell deformability is reduced, and the aggregation is increased

Then you are very likely to have varicose veins. If the total white blood cell count and neutrophil count in the blood increase, varicose veins may also be accompanied by complications such as thrombophlebitis, congestive dermatitis, and leg ulcers.

X-ray examination of varicose veins in the lower limbs, also known as venous angiography, is currently the most accurate diagnostic method for diagnosing venous system diseases. Varicose veins in the lower limbs can also be diagnosed through non-invasive examination, that is, ultrasonic Doppler examination, to check whether blood reflux occurs.

The above is about the examination items for varicose veins in the lower limbs. I believe everyone should understand them. These examinations are done to find out the cause of the disease for better treatment, so everyone must go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible and don’t let the disease continue to torture yourself. I hope everyone can recover their health and happiness soon!
