Understanding Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that occurs when the veins in your legs are unable to properly transport blood back to your heart. This can result in blood pooling in your veins and causing swelling, pain, and other uncomfortable symptoms. CVI is often caused by damage to the valves in the veins, which can be the result of age, genetics, or other factors.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of CVI, it’s important to seek medical attention from a qualified healthcare professional. They can perform a thorough evaluation and help you determine the best course of action for your individual needs. Treatment options for CVI may include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, or more invasive procedures like endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
