Venous Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins, especially in the legs, have difficulty returning blood to the heart, which favors its buildup in the extremities.
Common symptoms: heaviness, swelling, tired legs at the end of the day, cramps, varicose veins, and, in more advanced stages, skin changes may appear.
Contributing factors: family history, standing or sitting for long periods, pregnancy, and other factors that increase pressure in the veins all play a role.
Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the reference professionals for venous insufficiency, with support from the general practitioner when appropriate. If you notice persistent discomfort in your legs, it is worth consulting for a proper evaluation.
