makes it difficult for the veins to send the impure blood from the legs to the heart. This results in impure flowing backward and collecting at places in the veins. It can cause swelling, pain, and changes in skin and over time may lead to ulcers in legs.
Causes of Chronic Venous Insufficiency Veins return impure blood from all parts of the body to the heart. In the case of legs, the impure blood has to flow upwards to the heart. The natural coordination between contractions of feet and calf muscles with every step helps to push the blood upward. The veins have one-way valves to ensure that impure blood does not flow back up into the veins.
If the valves in the veins somehow get damaged or weakened, the impure blood starts backing up. This results in Chronic Venous Insufficiency. Blood clots in the deep veins can also precipitate this disease. Blood clotting in the deep veins of the legs is a disease which is known as Deep Vein Thrombosis. Nearly 30% of people with Deep Vein Thrombosis develop this disease. Vascular malformations and Pelvic tumors may impair the natural coordination of muscles and lead to failure of leg valves in holding the weight of impure blood. This may lead to swelling of legs and Chronic Venous Insufficiency. Damaged or weakened valves may result from aging, extended standing or sitting, reduced mobility or a combination of all. If either the valves or the walls of veins become so weak that the veins cannot ensure normal blood flow, it leads to higher blood pressure in the veins for extended periods of time leading to Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
Who Is At Risk? CVI occurs frequently in people aged over 50 years, and it affects women more than men.
Symptoms- CVI is a gradual development. The earlier it is diagnosed, the better are the chances of recovery. Complexities of treatment increase with the disease progression. This is why early recognition of the symptoms can be a game changer. Waiting for the problem to go away would aggravate the problem. Early intervention would ensure a rapid recovery. This is why one needs to have a fair idea of the symptoms. The symptoms include: Swelling in ankles and lower legs, mostly after sitting or standing for extended periods. Tiredness or pain in the legs Varicose veins Changes in the appearance of the skin of legs Itching or flaking skin on the legs Ulcers in legs
Treatment- Chronic Venous Insufficiency demands a combination of treatments to bring the situation under control. With the help of compression stockings, regular movement, and exercise, one can help the leg veins to push the blood up. If there are ulcers, the doctor may also recommend antibiotics to prevent infections. For blood clots, the doctor may also prescribe blood thinners. However, if the situation does not come under control despite these measures, the doctor may go for surgery that includes vein repair, vein transplant, vein bypass, vein ligation, etc.
Take Away- There are many treatments available for Chronic Venous Insufficiency. However, it is always advisable to consult a doctor before opting for any treatment.

They are nothing but slow-healing sores on legs that primarily result from weak blood circulation to the limbs. Such ulcers may last a few weeks or even years. However, one needs to get them treated since it may worsen the problem.
What Causes Venous Ulcers? It may happen if there is a break in the skin around one of the ankles. The leg veins, which send impure blood to the heart may become weak and not work well enough. In most cases, the reason is the malfunctioning valves in the veins that are meant for preventing impure blood from falling back into the veins. Improperly functioning venous valves cannot prevent backflow of blood and this increases pressure in the lower extremities. Venous Ulcers can also weaken the skin.
Risk Factors for Venous Ulcers- People who predisposed to venous leg ulcers are: Old (Aged people) Woman are prone to have venous leg ulcers. Have suffered leg injuries previously. Suffering from varicose veins. Smoke regularly. Considerably obese. Suffering from blood circulation problems like phlebitis or clots resulting in painful swelling of leg veins.
Symptoms of Venous Ulcers- Venous Ulcers often feel itchy. One may also have a burning feeling. The leg around the burning or itchy point or area may become swollen. A person may also develop a rash, dry skin, discoloration over an area, etc. There may also be a foul-smell and oozing of fluid from the sore. However, if the ulcer is infectious, it may give rise to swelling or redness of surrounding skin, increased pain, pus formation, and fever.
Diagnosis Since infected wounds are a thing to worry and may precipitate Venous Ulcers, one needs to visit the doctor if there is a non-healing wound. The doctor makes a quick physical assessment of the sore and the surrounding area to see if there is a venous ulcer. The doctor may ask for a history of chronic or ongoing conditions like diabetes, hardening of arteries, etc. The doctor may also go for tests like X-ray, CT scan, etc., to check the veins and ulcerated areas in detail. Long-standing ulcers can cause other problems like serious infections and even skin cancers, though it is rare.
Treatment A compression bandage or compression stocking is the most common mode of treatment for Venous Ulcers. The increased pressure on veins aids in improving blood circulation and boosts the body s ability for sore healing. The doctor may also suggest keeping the legs raised for 30 odd minutes at a time and thrice or four times a day since it may improve circulation and reduce Venous Ulcers. If there is an infection, one may be given antibiotics in order to defeat the infection. If all these steps don t suffice to put an end to the problem, the doctor may go for surgery. Surgery may improve blood circulation in legs. This can reduce Venous Ulcers and heal them easily. Usually, such ulcers heal within 3 to 4 months of treatment. Some of these can take longer. In rare cases, it may never clear up.

Venous Ulcer - Articles & Health Tips, Questions & Answers, Advice From Top Doctors, Health Experts | Lybrate
Chronic Venous Insufficiency is an abnormal condition of the leg veins. It occurs when either the walls or the one-way valves of the veins cannot work effectively. This makes it difficult for the veins to send the impure blood from the legs to the heart. This results in impure flowing backward and collecting at places in the veins. It can cause swelling, pain, and changes in skin and over time may lead to ulcers in legs.

If you have hemolysis and gall stones, it's advisable to undergo a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (surgical removal of gall bladder) to avoid potential complications of gall stones including acute pancreatitis.
