How is the condition diagnosed?

A history and physical examination makes the diagnosis of varicose veins. Other tests may be ordered to examine the veins more closely, such as:

  • ultrasound, a test that uses sound waves to look at tissues, organs, arteries, and blood flow
  • blood flow studies that can measure changes in the amount of blood passing through a vein
