Venous insufficiency, which is the inability of veins to efficiently return blood from the legs to the heart, can cause a range of hidden problems, including:
-
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – Blood clots can form in the veins due to sluggish blood flow.
-
Chronic venous hypertension – High pressure in the veins can damage tissues and lead to chronic swelling, pain, and skin changes.
-
Venous ulcers – Prolonged swelling can lead to skin breakdown and the development of painful, slow-healing wounds on the legs.
-
Increased risk of infection – Open wounds or skin changes can increase the risk of skin infections.
-
Venous stasis dermatitis – Inflammation and discoloration of the skin can occur due to stagnant blood flow.
These hidden problems can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, so it is important to seek treatment if you suspect you may have venous insufficiency.
