perform its function properly. In other words, it is difficult for the blood to return effectively from the feet to the heart. It mainly affects the superficial venous system (very rarely the deep venous system, which is more serious).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a very common disease. It is estimated that 20-301PT3T of the adult population suffers from some degree of chronic venous insufficiency (sustained and aggravated over time) and it is more prevalent in women than in men. Although men tend to consult later and in more advanced stages of the disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common symptoms caused by this disease are muscle fatigue and pain in the calf when standing for long periods, restless legs, night cramps or oedema (swelling) at the ankle.

Spider veins are the smallest of all, ranging in size from 0.1 mm \/ 1-2 mm. They are transparent on the skin and are located in the dermis.

It is a dilatation of the tertiary network or tributary veins connected to the saphenous veins. It is very important to determine where the leakage point that causes these varicose veins is located. To do this, it is essential to carry out a Doppler ultrasound scan. The ideal treatment involves eliminating the leakage point (great or lesser saphenous arch, insufficient perforator, pelvic leakage, etc.). Catheter techniques (especially laser and radiofrequency) have been displacing conventional surgery due to their high effectiveness, few complications and comfort in the postoperative period (generally no need for sick leave).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b9a064 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0b9a064\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1528fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"c1528fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Carousel of images\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 2\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/avence.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Adobe-Express-file-29-e1738869310649.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Express - file (29)\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 2\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/avence.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Adobe-Express-file-28-1.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Express - file (28)\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-1337388173\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-1337388173\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee5cdca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ee5cdca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eda9340 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"eda9340\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14fb4e2 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14fb4e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Formed by patients whose main symptom is swelling of the legs (oedema), with or without varicose veins.
