What is Venous Reflux?

Do you have significant bulgy veins that cause an unsightly appearance and sometimes persistent tingling pain? You may be suffering from vein disease. Venous reflux, also called Chronic Venous Insufficiency, happens when your veins can no longer circulate blood properly due to a lack of elasticity.

Why You Shouldn't Leave Your Varicose Veins Untreated

While some individuals think that varicose veins are just a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can bring severe complications if left untreated. 

  • Stubborn pain- Since varicose veins cause reflux or pooling of blood on the veins, poor blood flow becomes the ultimate cause of cramping and aches. Oxygen transmitted by the blood can no longer reach proper areas, which leads to muscle cramping and aches near the veins. 
  • Infections- Venous disease can bring leg ulcers, which may cause lesions on the skin. When an ulcer is exposed to bacteria, conditions may cause even more discomfort. 
  • Bleeding- Varicose veins are closest to the skin. They often become embossed on your skin when inflamed, leaving them more susceptible to wounds. 
  • Swelling- Since blood flow is restricted, blood isn’t pumping properly through your legs. This can cause reflux, which leads your legs to swell. 
  • Blood Clots- A clot usually forms since blood becomes pooled on your legs. The clots can detach and enter the bloodstream and cause life-threatening conditions such as deep vein thrombosis.

Don’t wait! Seek treatments while still early.

FAQ

In your leg, you have two sets of veins. They are called deep veins and superficial veins.

Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.

In a normal person, the blood would circulate from the feet towards the heart in both sets of veins.

When someone has a venous insufficiency the blood will actually go up the deep veins and then go backwards into the superficial vein.

The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.

Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will start to bulge and create varicose veins. They are often bluish or purple in color.

Spider Veins are essentially a smaller version of varicose veins. They are red, purple, and blue vessels that are also twisted and turning. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face.

No. Varicose veins can occur deeper in the leg, where one can’t see them. Varicose veins are classified under the spectrum of venous insufficiency disease.

Venous insufficiency disease causes leg discomfort, swelling of the ankles and leg, itching, and weariness. Other signs and symptoms may be prickling, cramping, aching, and heaviness of the lower limbs after prolonged standing.

Keep an eye out for these symptoms besides simply visible veins.

In short, no. Exercise and compression stockings may help reduce some of the symptoms of varicose veins, but usually only medical treatment can effectively get rid of a varicose vein.

Progression of varicose veins can be dangerous as they may later become venous ulcerations. When left without treatment, complications may ensure including rashes, infections, bleeding, sores, and blood clots.

In rare cases, varicose veins can cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism which is life-threatening.
