A venous reflux study checks whether the veins in the legs are functioning properly. If the valves inside the veins fail, blood can pool, leading to varicose veins, leg swelling, and even venous ulcers.
This test is recommended for:
- Patients with visible varicose veins
- Leg heaviness, aching, or fatigue
- Skin discoloration or open sores on the legs
If vein dysfunction is found, treatment options such as vein ablation or compression therapy can help relieve symptoms and prevent further damage.
