These veins then struggle to pump blood back to your heart, causing reflux or blood pooling in the legs.<br \/>\nOver 25-40% of the global adult population will get varicose veins in their lifetime(1), and women are more prone to varicose veins than men. In the United States, about 22 million women and 11 million men between 40 and 80 years old live with varicose veins(2).<br \/>\nFor some people, varicose veins are an unsightly nuisance. But for others, they cause leg cramping, aching, or heavy or tired legs.<br \/>\nBut while those symptoms could simply be an annoyance, they could mean something more.

El l\u00edquido de la sangre puede filtrarse al tejido circundante, provocando hinchaz\u00f3n.<br \/>\nYour skin may even leak the fluid, which can appear clear or yellowish. This can lead to changes in skin color and hardening of the skin.<br \/>\nEn algunos casos, si la inflamaci\u00f3n es lo bastante grave, puede que incluso le cueste ponerse los zapatos.<br \/>\nEczema varicoso<br \/>\nEl eccema varicoso es un trastorno de la piel que puede aparecer en personas que tienen varices.<br \/>\nStretched skin can become dry, cracked, shiny, and itchy. You might also experience purple or red sores and venous ulcers on the lower legs.<br \/>\nCuando la piel se estira por la inflamaci\u00f3n, al organismo le resulta m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil combatir las infecciones. Las bacterias de la superficie de la piel pueden penetrar en el organismo y provocar una infecci\u00f3n cut\u00e1nea denominada celulitis.<br \/>\nLa celulitis puede causar fiebre, escalofr\u00edos, n\u00e1useas, v\u00f3mitos, agrandamiento o endurecimiento de la zona enrojecida, aumento del dolor y entumecimiento. La celulitis tambi\u00e9n puede extenderse a otras zonas del cuerpo. En raras ocasiones, puede incluso ser necesaria una intervenci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica para eliminar el tejido cut\u00e1neo muerto.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-30159\" src=\"https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"595\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/3.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hemorrhage\"><\/span>Hemorragia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>People with varicose veins can have a significant amount of blood pooling below the skin\u2019s surface. This means a cut or injury to the leg can cause a large amount of bleeding. This bleeding may occur spontaneously in some cases; no cut or hit is needed.<br \/>\nUna persona puede notar el problema por primera vez cuando siente que la sangre le baja por la pierna. Como consecuencia, puede empezar a sentirse d\u00e9bil. La hemorragia puede tardar m\u00e1s de lo normal en detenerse si la lesi\u00f3n es extensa, lo que puede incluso poner en peligro la vida.<br \/>\nLos pacientes de edad avanzada pueden tener un mayor riesgo de hemorragia espont\u00e1nea debido a las paredes finas de las venas(3). Tal fue el caso de una mujer de 66 a\u00f1os hallada muerta en su domicilio, rodeada de una gran cantidad de sangre. \u00bfLa causa? Hemorragia masiva por rotura de una varicosidad(4).<br \/>\nTromboflebitis<br \/>\nThrombophlebitis is inflammation of a vein caused by a blood clot. Thrombophlebitis usually occurs in the superficial veins closest to the skin. Symptoms may include swelling, limb pain or tenderness, skin redness, and difficulty walking.<br \/>\nLa mayor\u00eda de los casos de tromboflebitis superficial pueden durar entre dos y seis semanas. Cuando la tromboflebitis superficial tiene su origen en varices, los episodios pueden ser recurrentes.<br \/>\nEn algunos casos, la tromboflebitis puede desembocar en una trombosis venosa profunda (TVP). Esto ocurre cuando el co\u00e1gulo de la vena superficial se extiende hacia arriba y se encuentra con las venas profundas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-30160\" src=\"https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"591\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/4.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pulmonary_Embolism\"><\/span>Embolia pulmonar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Seg\u00fan un estudio reciente realizado en m\u00e1s de 400.000 adultos, las varices aumentan significativamente el riesgo de trombosis venosa profunda(5).<br \/>\nLa trombosis venosa profunda, o TVP, se produce cuando se forma un co\u00e1gulo de sangre en una o m\u00e1s venas profundas del cuerpo, normalmente en las piernas. La TVP puede causar dolor e hinchaz\u00f3n en las piernas. Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n puede producirse sin s\u00edntomas.<br \/>\nSi el co\u00e1gulo de sangre de las venas profundas se desprende, puede desplazarse a los pulmones. Es lo que se conoce como embolia pulmonar.<br \/>\n\u00bfC\u00f3mo ocurre esto y por qu\u00e9 es mortal? Expliquemos c\u00f3mo funciona el organismo:<br \/>\nLa sangre de las piernas llega primero al coraz\u00f3n. A continuaci\u00f3n, el coraz\u00f3n bombea esta sangre a los pulmones a trav\u00e9s de las arterias pulmonares. Las arterias pulmonares son vasos sangu\u00edneos que transportan la sangre desde el lado derecho del coraz\u00f3n hasta los capilares pulmonares.<br \/>\nA continuaci\u00f3n, los pulmones suministran ox\u00edgeno a esta sangre.<br \/>\nSi un co\u00e1gulo sangu\u00edneo se obstruye en una de estas arterias, puede causar graves da\u00f1os a los pulmones y privar a la sangre de ox\u00edgeno.<br \/>\nEsta falta de ox\u00edgeno perjudica a otros \u00f3rganos del cuerpo. Y en caso de obstrucci\u00f3n importante, la embolia pulmonar puede causar la muerte.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-30161\" src=\"https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/illinoisveinspecialists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/5.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment\"><\/span>Tratamiento<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pain while walking, sitting, or standing may be a sign of venous insufficiency.

This non-surgical treatment uses gentle heat to collapse the damaged vein. The body then reabsorbs the collapsed vein, blood flow is redirected to healthy veins, and you are back to living pain-free.<br \/>\nPatients report minimal discomfort and can return to daily activities the same day.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t wait any longer if you want to eliminate your warning signs and improve your vein health.
