AB  - Chronic  venous  diseases  range  from  telangiectasias  and  reticular  veins,  to  varicose  veins,  to  chronic  venous  insufficiency  with  edema,  skin  changes,  and  ulceration.  This  section  of  the  chapter  will  focus  on  identification  and  treatment  of  varicose  veins  and  chronic  venous  insufficiency,  since  these  problems  are  encountered  frequently  by  the  internist.  The  estimated  prevalence  of  varicose  veins  in  the  United  States  is  approximately  15%  in  men  and  30%  in  women.  Chronic  venous  insufficiency  with  edema  affects  approximately  7.5%  of  men  and  5%  of  women,  and  the  prevalence  increases  with  age  ranging  from  2%  among  those  less  than  50  years  of  age  to  10%  of  those  70  years  of  age.  Approximately  20%  of  patients  with  chronic  venous  insufficiency  develop  venous  ulcers.
