Tired legs, swollen ankles, tingling and itching or stabbing pains in the legs may be the first signs of an incipient venous disorder.
…. even before varicose veins or other visible signs become apparent. Because blood can no longer flow smoothly enough back to the heart through the diseased veins, water from the veins is forced into the surrounding tissue. Swelling develops, particularly around the ankles. If you notice this swelling every night, regardless of what you have been doing during the day, your veins are probably already damaged. If they are visibly thickened, then you already have superficial varicose veins.
Since venous disorders do not get better on their own, if you notice these signs, you should consult your family doctor, who may refer you to a vein specialist (phlebologist) or a skin specialist (dermatologist).
Often wearing compression stockings, e.g. mediven elegance, in good time is sufficient to maintain the health and beauty of your legs.
