What Is Venous Insufficiency?
Venous insufficiency is a condition that develops when your veins cannot take blood back to your heart and lungs properly. When the blood cannot flow back, it pools in the veins in your legs. The condition causes skin changes and abnormalities, lower leg swelling and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a long-term condition that occurs because of the collapse or damage to the vein walls or valves. This means the blood pressure in these veins remains high. When the valves fail, the pooling blood leads to the risk of pain, venous stasis ulcers and other symptoms.
An early diagnosis provides the most effective venous insufficiency treatment. The doctors, led by Dr. Jonathan Arad, at the Vein Care Center in New York City and New Jersey use the latest medical technologies and techniques for diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency.
What Causes Venous Insufficiency?
Any physical change in your veins that affects the smooth blood flow back to your heart can cause venous insufficiency. When the valves in your blood vessels function properly, the deoxygenated blood flows back to your heart and lungs without any problems. Some factors that affect the function of blood valves include:
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) when a blood clot forms in a deep vein
- A sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise
- Occupations that require you to stand for long durations
- Superficial thrombophlebitis (ST), which is the inflammation of a vein close to the surface
- Advanced age, causing vein valves to wear out
- Reduced mobility, due to a sports injury or disability
- Any other kind of Injury or damage to your veins
During your vein consultation, your doctor at the Vein Care Center reviews your case, starting with a medical history review, a physical examination of the affected vein and imaging tests to diagnose the condition correctly. This forms the basis of an individualized treatment plan by the vein specialists.
