Venous Pathology refers to conditions affecting the veins, such as varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins caused by faulty valves that prevent proper blood flow, leading to swelling and discomfort. CVI occurs when blood pools in the veins, causing leg pain, skin changes, and ulcers. Risk factors include prolonged standing, obesity, and genetics. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and compression stockings to medical procedures like sclerotherapy or laser therapy to improve circulation and relieve symptoms.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) – A condition where the veins in the legs struggle to send blood back to the heart, leading to symptoms like swelling, leg pain, and skin changes.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – A blood clot that forms in the deep veins, typically in the legs, which can lead to swelling, pain, and, if left untreated, complications like pulmonary embolism.
Superficial Thrombophlebitis – Inflammation of a vein near the surface of the skin due to a blood clot, causing pain, redness, and swelling.
Varicose Veins – Enlarged, twisted veins often in the legs, caused by valve failure, leading to symptoms like swelling, aching, and heaviness.
