Varicose Vein Mapping

Varicose vein mapping is a detailed Doppler examination performed to identify refluxes, dilations, and the primary source of varicose veins in the superficial and deep venous systems.

Procedure Duration :

10 - 20 min

It is essential to perform this mapping before treatments such as laser therapy, foam sclerotherapy, or surgical varicose vein procedures. This diagnostic tool is most commonly used for patients experiencing visible veins in the legs, pain, fatigue, swelling, or nighttime cramps. The procedure is painless and usually takes 10–20 minutes.

With Color Doppler, all veins causing varicose veins are visualized in detail, allowing for a personalized treatment plan. This ensures both effective and long-lasting results.

What Symptoms Indicate Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins generally present with:

Visibly swollen veins in the legs
Pain and heaviness that worsen by the end of the day
Swelling (edema)
Nighttime cramps
Burning, itching, or restless sensations
Skin color changes or hardening

Varicose vein mapping is performed to accurately determine the source of these complaints.

During varicose vein mapping, Color Doppler Ultrasound is used to examine the course, diameter, and valve structures of varicose veins in detail. Veins that are leaking, dilated, or dysfunctional are clearly identified. Based on the resulting map, the most suitable treatment method—such as laser therapy, sclerotherapy, radiofrequency, or surgery—is selected for the patient.

Clearly identifies the cause and extent of varicose veins
Ensures treatment is applied to the correct vein and area
Increases treatment success and durability
Prevents unnecessary procedures
Allows for personalized treatment planning

Varicose vein mapping is a diagnostic examination, and no rest is required afterward. Patients can immediately return to their daily activities. Once the treatment plan is prepared, follow-up mapping may be performed to monitor progress after the procedure.

Individuals with varicose vein complaints
Patients planning to undergo varicose vein treatment
Those who have previously had varicose vein treatment but continue to have symptoms
Individuals experiencing leg pain, swelling, or circulation problems

This examination can be safely performed both before and after treatment.
