With the arrival of warm people who suffer from venous insufficiency accuse hardships and problems: heaviness and swelling of the legs are the first symptom, the appearance of capillary, venous ectasia, and finally the formation of varicose veins are the result.

For the classical physiology it comes to small and large blood circulation in the mechanism of which come mainly organs as the lungs, heart and blood vessels.
