veins develop when the valves inside the veins can no longer ensure that blood flows properly back towards the heart. Blood then tends to pool, increasing venous pressure and gradually enlarging the superficial veins. The main risk factors include family history, pregnancy, jobs involving long periods of standing or sitting, excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle and ageing of the vein wall.

Venous colour duplex ultrasound assesses the venous system in the legs, identifies any venous insufficiency and distinguishes a cosmetic concern from a circulatory condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right treatment depends on the underlying blood-flow abnormality. For this reason, Centro Medico Gargano performs a vascular assessment with venous colour duplex ultrasound before sclerotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to book an assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>visible, enlarged or tortuous veins;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>visible thread veins on the legs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>swollen or heavy legs, especially in the evening;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pain, burning or discomfort along the course of a vein;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cramps, oedema or a feeling of tightness in the legs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>suspected lymphoedema or lipoedema;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>recurrence after previous venous treatments or sclerotherapy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you experience sudden pain, redness, a hardened vein or marked leg swelling, a prompt <strong>venous colour duplex ultrasound scan<\/strong> is recommended to confirm the diagnosis and guide the most appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialist care in Naples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People looking for angiology, phlebology or venous Doppler ultrasound in Naples will find a care pathway at Centro Medico Gargano that starts with diagnosis and then moves on to selecting treatment. Dr Ciro Gargano carries out the specialist assessment, with a medical approach proportionate to the clinical findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common enquiries concern varicose veins, leg thread veins, sclerotherapy, swollen legs and heavy legs in Naples. Every treatment indication is assessed during the consultation, avoiding unnecessary procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practice is in Naples at Via Marchese Giuseppe Palmieri 71.

Even after correctly performed treatment, varicose veins can reappear over time. This is known as <strong>recurrence<\/strong> and is possible with any treatment method, whether surgical or minimally invasive.<br><br>It is important, however, to distinguish between <strong>successful treatment of the treated vein<\/strong> and the possible development, over the years, of <strong>new varicose veins<\/strong> due to the natural progression of venous disease.<br><br>The key question is not whether recurrence can happen, but <strong>how likely it is and how long it may take<\/strong>. For this reason, outcomes are assessed by considering the proportion of patients who maintain good clinical and ultrasound results years later. Modern techniques, such as endovenous radiofrequency ablation and ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy in selected cases, offer high success rates when the indication is appropriate and treatment is planned using a thorough colour duplex ultrasound examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appropriate follow-up and, where indicated, simple preventive measures such as weight management, physical activity, compression stockings when recommended and regular check-ups help reduce the risk of further manifestations of venous disease.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Can varicose veins cause thrombosis?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, varicose veins do not directly cause deep vein thrombosis, but they may contribute to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/centromedicogargano.com\/en\/dvt-ultrasound-naples\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/centromedicogargano.com\/en\/dvt-ultrasound-naples\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">superficial thrombophlebitis<\/a><\/strong>, which is inflammation of a varicose vein associated with a blood clot. If you experience sudden pain, redness, a hardened vein or marked leg swelling, a prompt <strong>venous colour duplex ultrasound scan<\/strong> is recommended to confirm the diagnosis and guide the most appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>When does the saphenous vein need treatment?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every enlarged saphenous vein needs treatment. The indication depends on the presence of <strong>venous reflux documented by colour duplex ultrasound<\/strong>, the patient&#8217;s symptoms and the vein&#8217;s anatomy. When reflux is significant and causes varicose veins, swelling, pain or skin changes, minimally invasive treatments such as <strong>endovenous radiofrequency ablation<\/strong> or <strong>ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy<\/strong> may be indicated in selected cases.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Is radiofrequency treatment of the saphenous vein painful?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Endovenous radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that is generally well tolerated. It is performed under tumescent local anaesthesia and treats the saphenous vein without extensive surgical incisions. For most patients, discomfort after the procedure is mild and normal daily activities can be resumed quickly.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Does sclerotherapy permanently eliminate varicose veins?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sclerotherapy closes the treated veins, but cannot prevent the natural progression of venous disease. New varicose veins may therefore appear in other areas over time. Accurate diagnosis with <strong>colour duplex ultrasound<\/strong>, selection of the most appropriate technique and regular check-ups help maintain excellent results in the long term.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Do varicose veins always require surgery?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Many varicose veins can now be treated with <span class=\"s1\"><b>minimally invasive techniques<\/b><\/span>, avoiding conventional surgery. The choice of treatment depends on the clinical findings and colour duplex ultrasound examination. Depending on the results, sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, saphenous vein treatment or, in some cases, clinical monitoring alone may be appropriate.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Do compression stockings cure varicose veins?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compression stockings do not eliminate varicose veins, but can help reduce swelling, heaviness and other symptoms of venous insufficiency. They may be recommended before or after treatment, or when a procedure is not immediately indicated. The type of stocking and compression class should be selected after specialist assessment.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>When is venous colour duplex ultrasound recommended?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Venous colour duplex ultrasound is the standard examination for assessing circulation in the leg veins. It is indicated for varicose veins, swollen legs, heaviness, pain, night cramps, itching, thrombophlebitis or suspected venous insufficiency. The examination identifies any saphenous reflux and helps plan the most appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Are varicose veins only a cosmetic problem?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. As well as affecting appearance, varicose veins can cause heaviness, swelling, pain, cramps, itching, skin changes and, in more advanced cases, <a href=\"https:\/\/centromedicogargano.com\/en\/venous-ulcers-naples\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/centromedicogargano.com\/en\/venous-ulcers-naples\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">venous ulcers<\/a> or thrombophlebitis. A specialist assessment distinguishes conditions requiring treatment from those that can simply be monitored.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Is walking good for varicose veins?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Walking is one of the most helpful activities for supporting blood flow back towards the heart, because the contracting calf muscles act as a venous pump. Regular physical activity helps reduce heaviness, swelling and venous pooling. However, when significant venous insufficiency or saphenous reflux is present, walking alone does not resolve the problem. Assessment with <strong>colour duplex ultrasound<\/strong> is important to determine whether specific treatments such as sclerotherapy or radiofrequency ablation are indicated.<br><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book a specialist assessment at Centro Medico Gargano<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Choose the right care pathway directly.<\/strong> For circulatory problems, veins or thread veins, book Colour Duplex Ultrasound + Vascular Consultation.
