When it comes to vein diseases, in most cases it is a connective tissue weakness, which in turn is responsible for the vessels dilating. This is often more than just a cosmetic problem and should be clarified by a vein specialist.

For this, the vein specialist uses different diagnostic methods, usually vein function tests and ultrasound methods. The so-called varicose veins, which cause severe symptoms, are well known and also the focus of attention. On the other hand, spider veins are rarely accompanied by symptoms, but can be a sign of deeper vein problems. Varicose veins are very pronounced enlargements of the leg veins, which also require treatment by a specialist.

Clinical pictures – how do these diseases develop?
The diseases can have a wide variety of causes, but venous thrombosis in the legs can usually also be caused by a lack of exercise. Occupations in which patients mainly work standing or sitting also often lead to leg thrombosis. This special lack of exercise can lead to a very strong development of these diseases and those affected have to suffer from severe impairments. Having the thrombosis treated is the top priority here.
