When the question is vascular
What vascular ultrasound can rule in or out
Ultrasound can assess venous reflux, previous DVT changes, active clot concern, and arterial circulation. This helps avoid treating swelling as lymphatic before vascular causes are considered.
What it does not replace
Lymphedema and lipedema diagnosis often requires clinical assessment, measurements, skin exam, and sometimes physiotherapy or specialist review.
Sudden one-sided swelling, chest pain, or shortness of breath should be treated as urgent before routine swelling evaluation.
Booking Path
From question to report
