Have you ever felt your legs feel heavy and sore at the end of a long day? Sometimes you notice some swelling in your legs, especially when you stand for a while. If this sounds familiar, you could be experiencing chronic venous insufficiency disease (CVI). While it may sound complicated, CVI is a common condition that affects millions of people, and with proper diagnosis and treatment, you can find relief and enjoy your life again At Star Vein & Treatment, we understand how frustrating CVI can be.
That’s why we’re dedicated to providing the latest treatments and helping our patients achieve long-lasting results. In this blog post, we will break down CVI, its causes and symptoms and explore the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment.
To understand proper roots Our muscles play an important role in our circulation. They work hard to pump blood back to our hearts, especially in our legs where gravity works against us. Healthy arteries have small, one-way capillaries that allow blood to flow in the right direction. However, in CVI, these vessels are damaged or weakened, causing blood to back up and accumulate in the leg. This increased pressure can lead to a series of problems, causing discomfort and potentially affecting your overall health.
Symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency disease should be monitored
CVI can present in a variety of ways, and some people may have mild symptoms for years before seeking treatment. Here are some common signs to look out for.
- Swollen feet: This is usually the most obvious symptom, usually worsening at the end of the day and getting better when you elevate your feet. Pain, numbness and heaviness: Your legs may feel tired, sore, or heavy, especially when standing or sitting for long periods of time.
- Varicose veins: These are twisted, bulging veins that appear just under the skin. While not everyone with CVI will have varicose veins, they are a common symptom.
- Skin changes: Chronic swelling can lead to dry, itchy, and discolored skin on your ankles and lower legs. In severe cases, open sores (leg ulcers) can develop.
To live a full life with CVI
Early diagnosis and treatment of CVI is key to managing the condition and preventing complications. The good news is that there are many effective treatments available at Star Vein & Treatment.
Depending on the severity of your CVI, your doctor may recommend:

Lifestyle changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and elevating your legs when possible can all significantly improve symptoms.
