Pain in the legs may indicate a venous disorder, even if there are no visible signs. Symptoms that occur in the veins are usually associated with more or less pronounced swelling of the legs.
Typical symptoms include diffuse, bilateral sensations of swelling, vasoconstriction, tingling, etc. These symptoms are barely noticeable in the morning, becoming more pronounced in the evening, especially after prolonged sitting or standing still.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a disorder of venous circulation and persistently elevated pressure in the legs. This is caused by weakened connective tissue of the venous wall and improper functioning of the venous valves. The blood thus does not flow normally upwards towards the heart, but stagnates in the veins. The walls of the veins therefore dilate, the venous valves widen.
Nowadays, people are becoming more aware and quickly recognize the symptoms of venous insufficiency, or are aware of the consequences. In case the first symptoms appear, such as heavy tired legs, or we have a standing / sitting job or it is a pregnancy, we recommend wearing preventive compression stockings. Preventive compression stockings can be purchased without a referral from a specialist in pharmacies and specialty stores.
