Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins of the legs have difficulty returning blood to the heart, which favors its buildup in the lower extremities.
Common symptoms: a sensation of heaviness or tiredness in the legs, swelling, varicose veins, cramps, and, over time, skin changes in the area.
When to see a doctor? It is worth consulting if leg discomfort is persistent, worsens after standing for a long time, or changes in skin color appear.
Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the professionals who study the circulation of the veins, with support from the general practitioner in the initial evaluation. Discussing these symptoms with one of them helps take care of the health of your legs.
