Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral) - what does this mean
Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral) is a condition in which blood is not efficiently transported from the legs and feet back to the heart due to weakened or damaged veins. this can lead to pooling of the blood in the lower extremities and cause swelling, pain, and skin changes.
What happens during the disease - venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral)
Venous insufficiency (chronic)(peripheral) is caused by a disruption in the normal flow of blood from the peripheral veins back to the heart. this disruption is caused by a variety of factors, including damage to the valves of the veins, decreased blood flow due to blockages in the veins, or weakened vein walls that prevent the veins from properly contracting and pushing blood back to the heart. over time, this can lead to a build-up of fluid in the legs and feet, swelling, and pain.
