A high percentage of the world's population suffers from varicose veins and venous disease. Most occur in women, who consult more frequently. It is true that they mostly consult for aesthetic procedures rather than health issues.

If a person suffers localized pain in the leg it is key to consult a specialist to rule out any vascular disorder that could be more serious. Therefore, it is necessary to have trainned professionals to address vascular disease in the context of a multidisciplinary institute or clinic.

To the query of leg pain, not only you can detect early circulatory disorders of lower limbs, but also heart disease, carotid disorders or any other vascular disease. Early treatment can prevent major complications such as: deep vein thrombosis, infarcts, stroke or severe ulcers of lower limbs.

There is often a genetic predisposition for varicose veins, although there are factors that predispose the body to produce venous insufficiency or varicose veins such as prolonged standing, pregnancy, overweight or an unhealthy diet. Recommended treatment may include transdermal laser, especially suitable for red spider veins or superficial veins, or endoluminal laser in cases of venous failure in larger veins.
