Varicosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Varicosis, or the presence of varicose veins, is a disorder of the veins, especially in the legs, that dilate and become visible and twisted because blood has trouble flowing back to the heart.
Common symptoms: a sensation of heaviness, tiredness in the legs, swelling at the end of the day, cramps, or itching over the dilated veins.
Contributing factors: standing for long periods, family history, pregnancy, and being overweight can favor their appearance.
Which specialist treats it? The angiologist evaluates diseases of the veins, with support from the internist or the general practitioner in the initial evaluation. If leg discomfort increases or the varicose veins change in appearance, placing it in the hands of a professional is the best way to define the appropriate care.
