Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the veins in the legs do not function properly, impairing blood flow back to the heart. This can result in a range of symptoms and complications, including swelling, varicose veins, skin changes, and leg discomfort. Because CVI can lead to serious health issues if left untreated, a professional medical consultation is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Common Symptoms:

Swelling (especially in the lower legs and ankles)
Varicose veins
Aching, heaviness, or a feeling of tiredness in the legs
Skin changes:
- Discoloration (brownish or reddish skin)
- Thickening or hardening (lipodermatosclerosis)
- Itching or ulcer formation (venous stasis ulcers)
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Painful leg cramps, often at night

Causes & Risk Factors:

Weakened or damaged vein valves
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Obesity
Pregnancy
Prolonged sitting or standing
Genetic predisposition (family history)
Effect of gravity, especially without movement (causes blood pooling)
