Understanding Venous Reflux Disease
Varicose veins are the result of a problem within the vein itself. Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to assist the return of blood back to the heart. Venous reflux disease develops when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart become damaged or diseased. As a result, vein valves will not close properly, leading to symptoms.
- Itching or irritated rash on the legs or near the ankles
- Tenderness around the area of the varicose vein
- In severe cases, darkening of the skin can occur
- Numbness in the legs
- Swelling in the legs
- Easily tired legs
- Leg heaviness
- Aching pain
If you exhibit any of these symptoms, you should talk to your physician about receiving treatment
Why Treat Varicose Veins In addition to being painful and embarrassing, if left without treatment, varicose veins can enlarge and worsen, becoming a health risk. Some health problems that can arise from severe varicose veins include:
- Ongoing irritation, swelling and painful rashes of the legs
- Sores or ulcers on the skin tissue around varicose veins
- Severe venous insufficiency that may slow the return of blood to the heart
- Risk of clotting, phlebitis, infection and resulting danger to lungs .
