Why vascular evaluation helps
Lymphedema and lipedema are not the same as varicose veins, but vascular ultrasound can help exclude DVT, venous reflux, arterial disease, or previous clot changes that may worsen swelling.
What to send before booking
Send photos if appropriate, swelling duration, whether one or both legs are affected, pain pattern, previous clot history, surgery history, and any referral or compression plan.
