If you have swelling of the legs, frequent cramps and pain in the legs, the structure and color of the skin has changed, it means you need to undergo ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities.
The veins of the legs can be divided into two groups: superficial veins and deep veins.
Both groups of veins have internal valves that allow blood to flow only in one direction - upwards. Valves have two leaves and are approximately 10 centimeters above each other.
The main blood flow( about 90%) passes through the deep veins, and about 10% of the blood remains on the surface of the veins.
Ultrasound examination of veins on the legs ( duplex angioscanning) has the ability to examine the permeability of superficial and deep veins of the lower extremities, the inferior vena cava and the external iliac.
On ultrasound of the legs of the with the use of color energy Doppler, thrombi can be detected, which are not noticeable during routine examination.
Detailed examination of The ultrasound of the lower extremities of the is spent about an hour.
During the session of the ultrasound of the legs, the movement of blood in the superficial veins of the thigh is examined, the valves of the large saphenous vein are checked. The general, deep and superficial femoral veins are studied.
About the problems in the valves will indicate retrograde blood flow through the located on this site sensor.
Ultrasound of the genitals of the tibia is carried out in the vertical position of the patient, when the load on the walls of the vein increases.
For suspicions of thrombosis, a more careful ultrasound of the lower extremities of the lower extremities is performed. This study helps determine the nature and location of blood clots.
Careful conduct of ultrasound of veins can detect violations in the venous system of the lower extremities and determine the stage of these disorders, choose the optimal tactics for treating thrombosis or venous insufficiency.
With early diagnosis of venous insufficiency, it is possible to evade surgical intervention or delay it for as long as possible.
Compression therapy and special venotonic medicines give remarkable results in the treatment of early stages of varicose insufficiency.
The price of ultrasound in the Moscow City Laser Surgery Center is 2,200 rubles .
