Best Answer

The physician will examine the veins while the patient is first in a standing position and a second time while the patient is lying down. X rays or ultrasound tests can detect varicose veins in the deep and perforator veins

Varicose veins are diagnosed by their appearance. The GP will examine your legs while you're standing to check for signs of swelling. You may also be asked to describe any pain you have and whether there are situations that make your varicose veins worse.
