Venous leg ulcer treatment

Venous leg ulcer treatment focuses on healing the wound and improving blood flow in the veins. It typically involves cleaning the ulcer, applying specialized dressings to promote healing, and compression therapy—wearing compression bandages or stockings to reduce swelling and support blood flow. Elevating the leg and exercising can also help. In some cases, medical procedures may be needed to repair damaged veins. Proper skin care and managing infections are important. The goal is to heal the ulcer, prevent recurrence, and improve overall leg health through a combination of wound management and improving venous circulation.
