Leg Vein Disease
Leg vein disorders affect blood return to the heart and include conditions such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The core issue is often venous valve dysfunction.
Symptoms include heavy legs, swelling, pain, visible varicose or spider veins, and venous ulcers in later stages. Risk factors are sedentary lifestyle, obesity, pregnancy, and hereditary predisposition.
Supportive use of dietary supplements such as grape seed extract (OPC), horse chestnut, rutin, vitamin C, and bioflavonoids has shown potential in strengthening blood vessels and improving microcirculation. Early diagnosis and multimodal therapy are essential.
