Varicose Veins and Other Vein Disorders

Diagnosis & Tests

If you have vein problems, your healthcare provider will:

  • Do a physical exam
  • Ask about symptoms, family history, activities, and lifestyle

The exam might include an imaging test - an ultrasound test or an X-ray. Both tests are painless. The ultrasound shows which veins and valves are affected, and whether any blood clots or inflammation are affecting the veins deeper in your legs. The X-ray will also show how healthy your leg veins are.
