Chronic Venous Insufficiency Management

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) occurs when veins struggle to send blood back to the heart, often leading to swelling, pain, or skin changes in the legs. Management includes lifestyle changes like regular exercise and weight management, wearing compression stockings to improve blood flow, elevating the legs, and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting. In some cases, medical treatments or procedures may be needed to repair the veins. Proper management aims to relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are also essential for monitoring the condition.
