Venous Diseases: A Common Clinical Overview

According to the WHO, venous diseases are among the most common disorders. About one-third of the adult population in Italy suffers from varicose veins and their complications. Veins collect oxygen-poor blood filled with waste products and return it to the lungs. Over 80% of the total blood volume is stored in the venous blood vessels.

Venous dysfunctions can have many causes: genetics, age, pregnancy, sedentary lifestyle, activities performed while standing or sitting. Venous disease causes stasis with increased pressure and vein dilation, which damages the valves and compromises venous return.

Compression treatment through stockings exerts graduated external pressure, promoting blood flow toward the heart and reducing swelling and pain. There are different compression levels that are recommended by a vascular specialist.
