A member asked:

Can venous insufficiency of gsv below r. knee give a more rounded (less defined) appearance of gastroc medial head, while measuring same as the left?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Although a varicose vein can cause one calf to look different than the other, the ultimate test is an ultrasound to ensure you do not have a blood clot. Have your doctor consulted if there is more concern !
