What is Venous Reflux Disease (Saphenofemoral Reflux)?
If you experience discomfort, swelling, itching or pain in your legs and have varicose veins, you may be suffering from superficial venous reflux disease. Approximately 25 million Americans suffer from this condition, which is not limited to unsightly varicose veins. Venous reflux or venous insufficiency develops when the valves that usually keep blood flowing out of your legs become diseased and don’t function as one-way valves.
