Heavy legs are a more common symptom than people think and can hide underlying health problems. A new national campaign is being launched in Portugal with the aim of increasing the population's literacy in venous health. The campaign aims to alert Portuguese people to chronic venous disease, encouraging them to recognize the signs and symptoms associated with this condition. This initiative comes in the context of an effort to raise awareness among the population about the importance of caring for venous health.
