Another symptom is hemorrhoids. Venous insufficiency is due to a dysfunction in the venous return, which causes an accumulation of blood in the veins (venous stasis) causing a weakening of the venous wall, and which can go as far as the formation of a clot ( phlebitis) requiring consultation with a doctor.

Venous insufficiency is a very common blood circulation problem that can affect both men and women.
Particularly unpleasant because it is amplified in summer, venous insufficiency must however be taken care of throughout the year, to prevent recurrence.
Thus, for example, we recommend avoiding trampling and prolonged standing. Promote physical exercise. Wear compression stockings or socks as much as possible, summer and winter. Elevate your legs at night. Pass a stream of cool water on the legs. Walking in the sea. Avoid exposure to heat mainly in the lower limbs.
In terms of the therapies available for venous insufficiency in the pharmaceutical arsenal, mention may be made of the use of venotonic drugs. These can strengthen the tone of the veins , improve their resistance and thus promote venous return. Your pharmacist specializes in measuring compression socks, stockings and tights. Do not hesitate to ask him for advice.
The application of cooling gels is also very effective in quickly relieving pain associated with heavy legs.
In chronic venous insufficiency , the blood circulating in the lower limbs has difficulty in returning to the heart. It can be caused by genetic factors, it can occur after trauma or result from the formation of a blood clot. Poor blood circulation in the legs can cause swelling and blistering, a feeling of heaviness, tingling, cramping, pain, varicose veins, and changes in skin pigmentation. In severe forms of venous insufficiency, ulcers and skin lesions can develop. Medicines such as natural flavonoids extracted from plants and similar synthetic products may improve blood circulation. These drugs are grouped under the name of venotonic or phlebotonic drugs.
Also called phlebotonic or phlébotropes the veinotonic are drugs that act on the symptoms of venous insufficiency (heavy legs sensation, swelling, etc.). They increase the tone of the walls of the veins, which will stimulate blood circulation. Medicines containing so-called vasculoprotective and venotonic substances (diosmin, troxerutin, flavonoids, etc.) or certain plant extracts (witch hazel, sweet clover, horse chestnut, red vine, etc.) aim to relieve symptoms (heavy legs, impatience) caused by poor venous circulation, but they have no effect on the course of the disease. They are not reimbursed by health insurance.
Oral treatments can be supplemented by massaging the legs with a gel or cream containing vasculoprotective or anti-inflammatory substances.
Herbal medicines intended to promote the renal elimination of water (so-called aquaretic medicines ) can be proposed. Their interest is not demonstrated.
