Varicose veins and spider veins are symptoms of insuficiencia venosa crónica, a condition that weakens the valves in your veins, preventing them from directing blood flow properly back to the heart. Instead, blood pools in the veins, causing increased pressure and vein enlargement.
Vein specialists can treat chronic venous insufficiency by closing unhealthy veins, redirecting blood to healthier veins, and restoring proper circulation. If you are looking for effective vein repair, keep reading to learn about the best treatment options available today.
Symptoms of Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Common signs of chronic venous insufficiency include:
- Bulging varicose veins – Enlarged, twisted veins visible under the skin.
- Arañas vasculares – Clusters of thin red, purple, or blue veins near the skin’s surface.
- Leg heaviness and fatigue – A feeling of tired, achy legs.
- Swelling – Particularly around the ankles and calves.
- Pain and cramping – Especially at night or after long periods of standing.
- Skin changes – Darkening, thinning, or itching skin.
- Venous ulcers – Slow-healing sores on the lower leg.
If you experience these symptoms, consult a vein specialist for an evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Risk Factors for Chronic Venous Insufficiency
You may be at a higher risk for varicose veins and spider veins if you:
- Have a family history of vein disease.
- Are aging (vein valves weaken over time).
- Are overweight or obese, increasing pressure on veins.
- Are female (hormonal changes can affect vein health).
- Sit or stand for long periods, reducing circulation.
- Are pregnant, which increases blood volume and vein pressure.
Even if these risk factors do not apply, varicose veins can still develop. If they are causing discomfort or affecting your quality of life, consult a vein specialist.
