A menudo parecen cordones y parecen retorcidos y abultados. Pueden estar hinchados y elevados por encima de la superficie de la piel. Las venas varicosas se encuentran a menudo en los muslos, la parte posterior de las pantorrillas o el interior de la pierna. Aunque son menos comunes, las venas varicosas pueden ocurrir en otras \u00e1reas del cuerpo y no siempre son visibles. El dolor o los s\u00edntomas similares a calambres tambi\u00e9n pueden ser un indicio de venas varicosas.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975263275\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 son las ara\u00f1as vasculares?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Las ara\u00f1as vasculares son como las venas varicosas pero m\u00e1s peque\u00f1as. Tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n m\u00e1s cerca de la superficie de la piel que las venas varicosas. A menudo son de color rojo, morado o azul. Pueden parecerse a ramas de \u00e1rboles o telara\u00f1as con sus l\u00edneas cortas y dentadas. Se pueden encontrar en cualquier parte de las piernas y pueden cubrir un \u00e1rea de piel muy peque\u00f1a o muy grande.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975282521\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 tan comunes son las varices y las ara\u00f1as vasculares?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Las varices y las ara\u00f1as vasculares son muy comunes y afectan a 1 de cada 3 adultos. Alrededor del 50 al 55 por ciento de las mujeres y del 40 al 45 por ciento de los hombres en los Estados Unidos sufren alg\u00fan tipo de problema venoso. Las venas varicosas afectan a la mitad de las personas de 50 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975299745\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 causa las venas varicosas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Cualquier afecci\u00f3n que ejerza una presi\u00f3n excesiva sobre las piernas o el abdomen puede provocar venas varicosas. Los inductores de presi\u00f3n m\u00e1s comunes son el embarazo, la obesidad y estar de pie durante largos periodos de tiempo. Ser sedentario tambi\u00e9n puede contribuir a la aparici\u00f3n de venas varicosas. La probabilidad de formar venas varicosas tambi\u00e9n aumenta a medida que las venas se debilitan con la edad. Una lesi\u00f3n previa en la pierna puede da\u00f1ar las v\u00e1lvulas de una vena, lo que puede provocar varicosidad. La gen\u00e9tica tambi\u00e9n influye, por lo que si otros miembros de la familia tienen venas varicosas, es m\u00e1s probable que usted tambi\u00e9n las tenga. Contrariamente a la creencia popular, sentarse con las piernas cruzadas no provocar\u00e1 venas varicosas, aunque puede agravar una afecci\u00f3n existente. La raz\u00f3n m\u00e1s com\u00fan para el desarrollo de venas varicosas es la enfermedad por reflujo venoso.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975313158\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 causa las ara\u00f1as vasculares?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Las ara\u00f1as vasculares pueden aparecer cuando la sangre se acumula en las venas cerca de la superficie de la piel. Tambi\u00e9n pueden ser causadas por cambios hormonales, exposici\u00f3n al sol, lesiones, embarazo, herencia, aumento de peso y estar de pie o sentado durante largos per\u00edodos de tiempo.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975331038\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la enfermedad por reflujo venoso? \u00bfQu\u00e9 es la insuficiencia venosa?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">La enfermedad por reflujo venoso, tambi\u00e9n conocida como insuficiencia venosa, es una afecci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica que afecta la circulaci\u00f3n sangu\u00ednea en las piernas.\u00a0<em>Arterias<\/em>\u00a0Son vasos sangu\u00edneos que transportan sangre rica en ox\u00edgeno desde el coraz\u00f3n hasta las piernas. La sangre &quot;usada&quot; luego regresa por las piernas hasta el coraz\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de vasos sangu\u00edneos separados llamados\u00a0<em>venas<\/em>. Al estar de pie, la sangre de las venas fluir\u00e1 por la pierna en contra de la gravedad. Las venas tienen v\u00e1lvulas en su interior que act\u00faan como trampillas unidireccionales para evitar que la sangre fluya hacia atr\u00e1s. Si las v\u00e1lvulas se rompen o da\u00f1an, la sangre fluir\u00e1 hacia atr\u00e1s sobre s\u00ed misma. B\u00e1sicamente, la sangre se \u201cacumular\u00e1\u201d en la vena y todas las ramas que drenan en esta vena tambi\u00e9n se atascar\u00e1n. Con el tiempo, cada vez m\u00e1s sangre se &quot;acumula&quot; en las venas y sus ramas, lo que hace que las venas se estiren y agranden. Las venas m\u00e1s cercanas a la piel son las que vemos como venas varicosas. La enfermedad por reflujo venoso es la causa m\u00e1s com\u00fan de venas varicosas. La enfermedad por reflujo venoso es una afecci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica progresiva y puede provocar que los s\u00edntomas empeoren.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975344184\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfCu\u00e1les son los signos y s\u00edntomas de las venas varicosas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Las venas varicosas a menudo se pueden ver debajo de la piel. Algunos otros s\u00edntomas comunes de las venas varicosas en las piernas incluyen:<br\/>Dolor doloroso que puede empeorar despu\u00e9s de estar sentado o de pie durante mucho tiempo.<br\/>Palpitante<br\/>Calambres (especialmente por la noche)<br\/>Pesadez<br\/>Cansancio<br\/>Hinchaz\u00f3n<br\/>Erupci\u00f3n que pica o irrita<br\/>Piernas inquietas<br\/>Oscurecimiento de la piel (en casos graves)<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975386537\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfSon peligrosas las varices y las ara\u00f1as vasculares?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Las venas varicosas generalmente no son peligrosas y es posible que no causen ning\u00fan problema; sin embargo, pueden causar dolor, pulsaciones y malestar. En algunos casos, las venas varicosas pueden provocar problemas de salud m\u00e1s graves. \u00c9stas incluyen:<br\/><br\/><strong>Llagas o \u00falceras en la piel.\u00a0<\/strong>Debido a la acumulaci\u00f3n cr\u00f3nica (a largo plazo) de sangre, estas llagas o \u00falceras son dolorosas y dif\u00edciles de curar. A veces no pueden sanar hasta que se repare el flujo sangu\u00edneo regresivo en la vena.<br\/><br\/><strong>Sangrado.<\/strong>\u00a0La piel que cubre las venas se vuelve delgada y se lesiona f\u00e1cilmente. Cuando se produce una lesi\u00f3n, puede haber una p\u00e9rdida importante de sangre.<br\/><br\/><strong>Flebitis.\u00a0<\/strong>Un co\u00e1gulo de sangre que se forma en una vena justo debajo de la piel. Los s\u00edntomas incluyen enrojecimiento de la piel; una vena firme, tierna y c\u00e1lida; y a veces dolor e hinchaz\u00f3n.<br\/><br\/><strong>Trombosis venosa profunda.\u00a0<\/strong>Un co\u00e1gulo de sangre que se forma en una vena m\u00e1s profunda. Puede causar una sensaci\u00f3n de &quot;tir\u00f3n&quot; en la pantorrilla, dolor, calor, enrojecimiento e hinchaz\u00f3n. Sin embargo, a veces no causa s\u00edntomas significativos. Si el co\u00e1gulo de sangre viaja a los pulmones, puede ser fatal.<br\/><br\/>Las ara\u00f1as vasculares rara vez son un problema de salud grave, pero pueden causar sensaciones inc\u00f3modas en las piernas. Si hay s\u00edntomas de ara\u00f1as vasculares, la mayor\u00eda de las veces ser\u00e1n picaz\u00f3n o ardor. Con menos frecuencia, las ara\u00f1as vasculares pueden ser un signo de acumulaci\u00f3n de sangre en una zona m\u00e1s profunda que no se puede ver en la piel. Si es as\u00ed, podr\u00edas tener los mismos s\u00edntomas que tendr\u00edas con las venas varicosas. En raras ocasiones, las ara\u00f1as vasculares m\u00e1s grandes pueden sangrar si se rascan o golpean.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975416411\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfLas varices son hereditarias?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Muchas veces s\u00ed. La herencia es un factor principal en m\u00e1s del 80% de casos de venas varicosas. Otros factores contribuyentes pueden incluir embarazo, obesidad, terapia hormonal, estar de pie o sentado durante largos per\u00edodos de tiempo y lesiones.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975429764\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfLos hombres tienen venas varicosas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Aunque las mujeres se ven afectadas en un porcentaje mayor que los hombres, los hombres tambi\u00e9n pueden tener problemas con las venas varicosas y sus s\u00edntomas asociados (y beneficiarse del tratamiento).

Un examen de ultrasonido de las venas principales dentro de la pierna es esencial para evaluar la enfermedad por reflujo venoso o detectar venas varicosas presentes debajo de la piel. Esta es la causa o fuente m\u00e1s com\u00fan de venas varicosas, as\u00ed como los s\u00edntomas asociados. Cualquier tratamiento de las venas varicosas y sus s\u00edntomas asociados debe comenzar abordando la fuente.

Estas mismas cosas pueden ayudar a aliviar las molestias que ya tienes:<br\/><br\/>Haga ejercicio con regularidad para mejorar la fuerza de las piernas, la circulaci\u00f3n y la fuerza de las venas. Conc\u00e9ntrese en ejercicios que ejerciten las piernas, como caminar o correr.<br\/><br\/>Controla tu peso para evitar ejercer demasiada presi\u00f3n sobre tus piernas.<br\/><br\/>Consuma una dieta baja en sal y rica en alimentos ricos en fibra. Comer fibra reduce las posibilidades de estre\u00f1imiento, lo que puede contribuir a la aparici\u00f3n de venas varicosas. Los alimentos ricos en fibra incluyen frutas y verduras frescas y cereales integrales, como el salvado. Comer menos sal puede ayudar con la hinchaz\u00f3n que acompa\u00f1a a las venas varicosas.<br\/><br\/>Evite usar tacones altos durante largos per\u00edodos de tiempo. Los zapatos de tac\u00f3n bajo pueden ayudar a tonificar los m\u00fasculos de la pantorrilla para ayudar a que la sangre circule por las venas.<br\/><br\/>Eleva las piernas al descansar tanto como sea posible.<br\/><br\/>No permanezca de pie ni sentado durante largos periodos de tiempo. Si debe permanecer de pie durante mucho tiempo, cambie su peso de una pierna a la otra cada pocos minutos. Si debe permanecer sentado durante per\u00edodos prolongados, lev\u00e1ntese y mu\u00e9vase o realice una caminata corta cada 30 minutos.<br\/><br\/>Use medias de soporte el\u00e1sticas y evite la ropa ajustada que le apriete la cintura, la ingle o las piernas.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975764336\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 factores aumentan mi riesgo de tener venas varicosas y ara\u00f1as vasculares?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Muchos factores aumentan las posibilidades de que una persona desarrolle varices o ara\u00f1as vasculares. \u00c9stas incluyen:<br\/><br\/><strong>Edad creciente.<\/strong>\u00a0A medida que envejece, las v\u00e1lvulas de las venas pueden debilitarse y no funcionar tan bien.<br\/><br\/><strong>Historial m\u00e9dico.<\/strong>\u00a0Nacer con v\u00e1lvulas venosas d\u00e9biles aumenta el riesgo. Tener familiares con problemas venosos tambi\u00e9n aumenta el riesgo. Aproximadamente la mitad de las personas que tienen venas varicosas tienen un familiar que tambi\u00e9n las tiene.<br\/><br\/><strong>Cambios hormonales.<\/strong>\u00a0Estos ocurren durante la pubertad, el embarazo y la menopausia. Tomar p\u00edldoras anticonceptivas y otros medicamentos que contienen estr\u00f3geno y progesterona tambi\u00e9n puede contribuir a la formaci\u00f3n de varices o ara\u00f1as vasculares.<br\/><br\/><strong>El embarazo.<\/strong>\u00a0Durante el embarazo, se produce un gran aumento en la cantidad de sangre en el cuerpo. Esto puede hacer que las venas se agranden. El \u00fatero en crecimiento tambi\u00e9n ejerce presi\u00f3n sobre las venas. Las venas varicosas generalmente mejoran dentro de los tres meses posteriores al parto. Por lo general, aparecen m\u00e1s venas varicosas y ara\u00f1as vasculares con cada embarazo adicional.<br\/><br\/><strong>\u00cdndice de masa corporal.\u00a0<\/strong>El sobrepeso o la obesidad pueden ejercer una presi\u00f3n adicional sobre las venas.

Los tratamientos actuales para las venas varicosas y las ara\u00f1as vasculares tienen tasas de \u00e9xito muy altas en comparaci\u00f3n con los tratamientos quir\u00fargicos tradicionales.

Desafortunadamente, ning\u00fan tratamiento puede evitar que las venas nuevas se vuelvan varicosas. Ocasionalmente, los pacientes que desempe\u00f1an una ocupaci\u00f3n en la que deben permanecer de pie durante largos per\u00edodos de tiempo pueden desarrollar cierta recurrencia de las venas varicosas que pueden requerir tratamiento adicional.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692975991474\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 tratamiento recomendar\u00edas?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Una vez que se someta a un estudio de ultrasonido, nuestro especialista vascular podr\u00e1 determinar qu\u00e9 tratamiento funcionar\u00eda mejor.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1692976000012\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">\u00bfCu\u00e1l es el tiempo de recuperaci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s del tratamiento?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Pr\u00e1cticamente no hay tiempo de recuperaci\u00f3n de nuestros procedimientos.

Over time, more and more of the blood then \\\"pools\\\" in the veins and its branches causing the veins to stretch and enlarge. The veins closest to the skin are the ones we see as varicose veins.

The \"used\" blood then returns up the legs to the heart through separate blood vessels called\u00a0<em>veins<\/em>. When standing, the blood in the veins will flow up the leg against gravity. Veins have valves inside them that act as one-way flaps to prevent blood from flowing backward. If the valves break down or become damaged, the blood will flow backward on itself. Essentially, the blood will then get \"backed up\" in the vein and all the branches draining into this vein will also get backed up. Over time, more and more of the blood then \"pools\" in the veins and its branches causing the veins to stretch and enlarge. The veins closest to the skin are the ones we see as varicose veins.
