What reflux means
Healthy vein valves help blood move upward toward the heart. Reflux means valves are leaking backward, which can contribute to varicose veins, heaviness, swelling, skin changes, and ulcers.
What the report usually includes
A reflux report may describe the deep and superficial veins, reflux duration, vein diameters, perforator veins, and whether clot changes are present. This information guides the treatment plan.
