A Development of Varicose Vein: Today & Tomorrow
Chronic venous insufficiency or CVI, is a condition in which veins have problems moving blood back to the heart. With long-term (chronic) venous insufficiency, vein walls are weakened and valves are damaged. Chronic venous insufficiency can develop from common conditions such as Varicose Veins. It is a common condition characterized by enlarged, twisted, blue or purple bulging and painful veins, typically affecting the lower extremities of the body. It's noteworthy that even in the absence of obvious bulging veins, the term "varicose veins" is frequently used to describe superficial venous reflux. Simply put, these are known as "hidden varicose veins." A weakening of the venous valves and walls is a common cause of varicose veins. Blood might flow back and pool in veins due to damaged valves, causing them to enlarge. Weakened vein walls are longer, broader, and less elastic than normal, causing valve flaps to split, resulting in increased blood pooling and twisted veins. Usually, varicose veins worsen, causing pain, enlarged ankles, skin damage, leg ulcers, venous bleeding, and superficial venous thrombosis.
