Doppler Scan Treatment in India

Ayaan Garcia, a 58-year-old construction foreman and father of three, had been experiencing a persistent, dull ache in his right calf for weeks, especially after long days on his feet. The area felt unusually cool to the touch and looked pale. His primary care physician, concerned about poor circulation, noted Ayaan's history of smoking and high blood pressure. She recommended a Doppler scan of his lower limbs to check for Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). During the scan, the radiologist applied cool gel and moved a transducer over his legs; Ayaan felt mild pressure but no pain, listening to the rhythmic 'whooshing' sounds of his blood flow with anxious curiosity. The scan revealed significant narrowing in his right femoral artery. Post-procedure, Ayaan was referred to a vascular specialist. He started medication, a supervised exercise program, and quit smoking. The emotional journey was profound: before the scan, he feared amputation and being unable to provide for his family; after, with a clear diagnosis and treatment plan, he felt empowered and committed to reclaiming his health, relieved to have a path forward.
