Vein Symptom Check

Answer 8 quick questions about your legs to understand whether your symptoms may be related to your veins and whether to see a doctor. Anonymous, nothing stored.

This short check covers the symptoms vein specialists ask about most often. It takes about two minutes. Your answers stay in your browser — nothing is sent or saved.

Do your legs ache, throb or feel heavy?
Do your ankles or lower legs swell?
Can you see veins on your legs?
Do you get leg cramps, restlessness or itching, especially at night?
Have you noticed skin changes near your ankles?
Does standing or sitting still for long make symptoms worse, and walking or raising your legs help?
Do your parents or siblings have varicose veins?
Right now, do you have sudden pain, swelling or warmth in ONE leg, or breathlessness or chest pain?

How to use your result

This check is a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, not a diagnosis. Only an examination and a duplex ultrasound scan can confirm whether your veins are leaking. Leg symptoms can also come from arteries, nerves, joints, the heart or kidneys, so if something feels wrong, get it checked even if your score is low.
