C
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
CVI occurs when leg veins can't efficiently return blood to the heart, leading to swelling, aching, and skin changes. It’s often a result of faulty valves in the veins.
D
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
DVT is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, typically in the legs. It can cause pain, swelling, and carries the risk of a life-threatening pulmonary embolism if left untreated.
L
Lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid, often in the arms or legs. It can result from lymph node damage or removal, commonly after cancer treatment.
V
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins, usually in the legs, caused by valve failure and poor blood flow. They can lead to aching, swelling, and cosmetic concerns for some.
Venous Leg Ulcers
These are chronic wounds on the lower legs caused by poor venous circulation. They are slow to heal and require comprehensive wound and vein care.
