With this prospective controlled trial, we hope to obtain more information about the coexistence between venous insufficiency and nocturia. In our opinion, venous insufficiency (CEAP 2-3a) leads to an increase in fluid accumulation in the lower limbs due to moving around all day. When laying down during nighttime, this fluid is reabsorbed into the systimic fluid pool, leading to an increase in diuresis and thus an increase in nocturnal voiding. Aim of this study is observe difference in nocturnal frequency and urine production before and after surgical treatment of venous insufficiency.

Collect a frequency volume chart for 3 days: measure the amount of voids and volume urinated.
Volunteers are asked to collected their urine during the last day of the frequency volume chart. Volunteers get 2 jars: One for collection during the day, and 1 for overnight collection of urine. Osmolality and sodium of urine is tested
Blood collection to measure plasma sodium and osmolality.
Circumference of the lower legs wil be measured twice: * After awakening, when still laying dowing in bed * Before goin to sleep Circumference should be measured 2 cm above the medial malleolus
