Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a common medical problem occurring in a leg vein and leading to increasing Discomfort and disability. It is caused either by superficial (severe varicose veins) or deep (after deep vein thrombosis) venous pathology and characterized by an increased venous pressure during walking.

The result is constant swelling, chronic Discomfort, varicose veins and a progressive degeneration and thickening of the skin near the ankle which leads, ultimately, to serious and virtually incurable An eroded sore in the inner lining of digestive tracts.

Prevention

People affected by chronic venous insufficiency should not sit or stand for long periods of time and when sitting should elevate their legs. Walking Enhances increase venous blood flow and reduce pooling. Wearing tight-fitting compression stockings available from pharmacies further supports the veins. To allow pooled blood to drain, raise the legs above the level of your heart at set times throughout the day. At night, sleep with the feet elevated about 6 inches by propping them on pillows.

Causes

The legs have two separate systems of veins through which blood makes its return trip to the heart. The first system, deep within the leg, carries blood at a higher pressure than do the superficial veins closer to the skin. In order to reduce the pumping force needed to return blood to the heart, veins contain valves, which allow the blood to move easily upward toward the heart, but Beneficial Effects it from flowing backward between pumping phases of the heartbeat. CVI results from failure of the valves in deep or superficial veins. The valves in the veins may have been damaged by a blood clot in one of the deep veins of the leg. When these valves are not working well, the blood has difficulty moving upward. Prolonged increased pressure in the veins causes the valves to stretch out, making them unable to close properly. As a result, the blood flows back into other veins and pools in the tissues of the legs, causing swelling. In addition to blood clots, obesity, inactivity, and aging can contribute to the weakening of or damage to the valves. Some people may have just inherited weak valves.

The usual Favorable Effects in the early stages of CVI is elastic stocking to apply external pressure to the system and dressings and salves to treat the An eroded sore in the inner lining of digestive tracts.

Anticoagulants such as heparin or warfarin or antiplatelet medications such as aspirin are prescribed to Beneficial Effects further clotting. Analgesics may be needed to control Discomfort. Vascular surgeons either repair damaged valves in the large veins of the upper leg, or bypass them using a length of vein with healthy valves from somewhere else in the body. Only one or two key valves must be restored to normal function to return pressures in the system to normal.
