Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition\nthat occurs when the venous walls and\/or the valves in your leg are not working\neffectively, making it difficult for blood to return to your heart from your legs.\nAn estimated 40% of Americans suffer from CVI[i]<\/a>, and\nabout one-in-four Americans have varicose veins.[ii]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reach your\nheart, blood needs to flow upward from the veins in the leg. To keep that blood\nfrom flowing down, veins contain one-way valves. When these valves become\ndamages, blood can leak back down. When it is difficult for the blood to flow\nup to the heart, blood pressure in the veins stays elevated for long periods of\ntime, causing CVI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CVI may be caused\nby a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg, by a pelvic tumor, by a vascular\nmalformation, and other not-yet-identified reasons.[iii]<\/a>\nPeople with CVI often have a combination of symptoms. One of the clearest symptoms\nof CVI are swollen legs and ankles, especially after extended periods of\nstanding. Other symptoms include aching in the legs, leathery-looking skin on\nthe legs, slaking or itching leg skin, and stasis ulcers. CVI is often\nassociated with varicose veins, which are twisted, enlarged veins close to the\nsurface of the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, treatment for varicose\nveins does not typically involve a hospital stay or a long, uncomfortable\nrecovery. Thanks to less invasive procedures, varicose veins can generally be\ntreated on an outpatient basis.[iv]<\/a> Sometimes,\nno treatment is required for varicose veins; despite some people finding them\nunsightly, veins may not need treatment for health reasons. In severe cases, a\nvaricose vein may rupture or develop into varicose ulcers on the skin, both of\nwhich require treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have\nswollen legs and\/or any of the other aforementioned symptoms, make an\nappointment now with Dr. Amin at Corona Foot and Ankle. Dr. Amin will perform\nultrasound testing to check your blood flow. This is a noninvasive test that\nuses high-frequency sound waves to see how blood is flowing through your veins.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who are overweight have an\nincreased risk of varicose veins.[v]<\/a> CVI is\nalso more commonly found in women than men.[vi]<\/a> CVI can\nbe very serious, and the complexities of treatment increase as the disease\nprogresses. This is why it\u2019s critical to visit a doctor if you have any CVI\nsymptoms. If swelling, aching, and painful legs result from CVI, visit Dr. Amin\nto find out what treatment relief is available for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If CVI is not\ntreated, the pressure and swelling in your legs can increase until your\ncapillaries burst. A sign that this has happened is when the overlying skin\ntakes on a reddish-brown color and is very sensitive to being broken if bumped\nor scratched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burst capillaries\ncan cause local tissue inflammation and internal tissue damage. In severe cases,\nthis leads to ulcers, open sores on the skin surface. These venous stasis\nulcers can be difficult to heal and can become infected. When the infection is\nnot controlled, it can spread to surrounding tissue, a condition known as\ncellulitis.[vii]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to\nCVI and varicose veins, there is a large range in the condition\u2019s severity and\nhow it manifests in your body. This is why it\u2019s critical to make an appointment\nwith a trained expert like Dr. Amin at Corona Foot and Ankle. Dr. Amin is\ntrained to diagnose and treat CVI and varicose veins. Don\u2019t wait until symptoms\nworsen; make an appointment now.
