Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Venous Ulcers

Understanding Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a condition where the veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. This can lead to various symptoms such as swelling, discoloration, and pain.

The Impact of Venous Ulcers

Venous ulcers are open sores that occur due to poor circulation caused by CVI. These ulcers can be painful and require prompt treatment to promote healing and prevent complications.

Risk Factors for CVI and Venous Ulcers

• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Family history of vein issues
• Smoking
