Understanding Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition that affects the proper functioning of the veins in the legs. It occurs when the valves in the veins, which are responsible for ensuring blood flows in the correct direction, become damaged or weakened. As a result, blood can pool in the legs, leading to discomfort, swelling, and other symptoms.
Signs and Symptoms
Typical signs and symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency may include:
- Leg pain and aching
- Swelling and edema
- Varicose veins
- Itching or burning sensations
- Cramping and heaviness in the legs
Causes and Risk Factors
A variety of factors can contribute to the development of chronic venous insufficiency. Some of the common causes and risk factors include:
- Prolonged standing or sitting
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Aging
- Family history of venous disease
- Prior leg injuries
Treatments Offered
At Vein Center of Arizona, we provide a comprehensive range of treatments to effectively manage chronic venous insufficiency and its associated symptoms. Our dedicated team of doctors and healthcare professionals will assess your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
1. Lifestyle Modifications
For mild cases of chronic venous insufficiency, lifestyle modifications may be recommended. These can include incorporating regular exercise into your routine, maintaining a healthy weight, elevating your legs, and avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing.
2. Compression Therapy
Compression therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that involves wearing specially designed stockings or bandages that exert gentle pressure on the legs, helping to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling.
3. Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a popular treatment for varicose veins associated with chronic venous insufficiency. It involves injecting a solution directly into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and eventually fade away. This procedure is minimally invasive and provides excellent results with minimal downtime.
4. Endovenous Thermal Ablation
Endovenous thermal ablation is a highly effective treatment option for chronic venous insufficiency. It involves the use of laser or radiofrequency energy to heat and seal the affected veins, rerouting blood flow to healthier veins. This procedure offers faster recovery times and significant relief from symptoms.
5. Ambulatory Phlebectomy
Ambulatory phlebectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove larger varicose veins. It is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, providing long-lasting relief from symptoms and improving the cosmetic appearance of the legs.
