Indications for the Procedure

Blood vessels are essential for the proper functioning of the human body, as they are responsible for delivering nutrients and oxygen through the bloodstream. A vascular ultrasound of the lower limbs allows evaluation of the condition of the vessel walls, patency, anatomical structure, and blood flow velocity. The main indications for this procedure include:

• pain in the legs;
• frequent leg cramps;
• circulatory disorders;
• diagnosis of muscle or joint diseases;
• persistent leg swelling and visible vein enlargement;
• increased sensitivity to cold in the feet;
• development of ulcers on the legs;
• evaluation of blood vessels after trauma or surgery;
• skin discoloration on the legs.

Timely Doppler ultrasound of the lower limb vessels helps assess the condition of the veins and arteries, prevent the progression of endarteritis, and detect varicose veins, atherosclerosis, and other conditions.

Are There Any Contraindications to the Procedure?

The only contraindication for vascular ultrasound is damage to the skin in the area where the probe will be applied. For example, if you have ulcers, burns, or open wounds on your legs, it’s best to postpone the procedure. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not contraindications for ultrasound diagnostics.

Preparation and Procedure

No special preparation is required. If there are no contraindications, you can come in at your scheduled time. The ultrasound procedure is performed as follows:

1. The patient undresses and lies on the examination couch.
2. The doctor applies a special gel to the skin and starts scanning with an ultrasound probe.
3. The probe sends signals to the computer, which are converted into images and displayed on the monitor.
4. The results are printed and given to the patient.

Vascular ultrasound of the lower limbs at our clinics in Lviv and other cities is painless. The examination typically takes 20 to 60 minutes. Only a doctor can interpret the results.

What Should You Avoid After the Examination?
