Vein Disorders

Normal Veins Vein disorders include chronic and acute problems. They cover a wide range of symptoms from the most serious blood clots to non-threatening cosmetic blemishes found in the majority of the population. Chronic venous disorders are very frequent: they affect at least 20% of the entire adult population and over 50% of females over 60 years of age.


About Venous Reflux Disease

Normal Veins Your legs are made up of a network of veins. 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. This can cause blood to pool in your legs and lead to symptoms such as pain, swelling, swollen limbs, leg heaviness and fatigue, skin changes and skin ulcers, and varicose veins.
