Venous disorders are commonly seen as benign problems and they
are known for their chronicity and poor response to different types
of therapies available. The venous problems are usually undiagnosed,
under diagnosed, under treated at the primary levels. The
late features of venous disease such as multiple varicose veins
with leg swelling, pigmentation, ulcerations are the usual presentations
in our clinical practice. Heaviness of the legs, tightness in
the calf, claudication are often mistook for the musculoskeletal
disoders and bones, joints given attention. Recurrent attacks of the
celllulitis is another type of presentaiton in patients with chronic
venous insufficiency due to venous hypertension ( ambulatory
venous pressures more than 80 mm of Hg).

In the RELIEF study ( 300 patients) from India it was observed
that 80% of the patients with CVI were not given any form of
treatment such as compression stockings, crepebandages,
phlbotonic drugs or other therapies. This clearly indicates that
there is an opportunity increase the awareness of the venous
disorders and encourage to prevent Chronic venous insufficiency
syndrome to progression from the early stages to the advanced
stages where they may require surgeries for improving the condition
and facilitate the healing of the venous ulcerations.
