Does venous insufficiency cause pain?
Yes — and it is one of the most common vascular problems in the legs.
Venous insufficiency is a progressive vein disease that occurs when the valves in the leg veins stop working properly. When this happens, blood flows backward and pools in the legs, leading to leg pain, heaviness, swelling, skin changes, and fatigue.
If venous insufficiency is not diagnosed and treated on time, it can worsen. In advanced stages, it may lead to dangerous blood clots, chronic wounds, and serious complications that can be life-threatening.
At Milford Vascular Institute, our board-certified vascular specialists help patients identify whether their leg pain is caused by venous insufficiency or another vascular condition. Using the latest vascular ultrasound technology, we can accurately detect diseased veins and venous reflux.
When treatment is needed, our specialists use minimally invasive procedures to close malfunctioning veins, restore healthy circulation, relieve pain, and help reduce the risk of blood clots.
