Typically, leg swelling or swelling affects both legs evenly. After the night and the elevation of the legs, they are often less swollen in the morning . As the day progresses, with gravity and movement, swelling appears and becomes more significant in the evening. It may be accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the legs, even pain , redness or tingling .
Swollen legs: signs of venous disease
The doctor can visualize blood flow using ultrasound (Doppler ultrasound). He can determine whether the superficial veins or the deep venous system are affected.
For example, venous valves often no longer close properly, so blood flows backwards through the veins. Blood builds up in the veins and dilates them, further damaging the venous valves. If varicose veins are already visible on the legs, this is an additional sign indicating venous disease.
