Chronic Venous Insufficiency Edema
Edema from chronic venous insufficiency is the swelling of the legs that appears when the veins have difficulty returning blood to the heart, which causes fluid to accumulate in the tissues, especially in the ankles and calves.
Common symptoms:
- Heaviness and swelling that worsen at the end of the day.
- A feeling of tiredness or cramps in the legs.
- Changes in the color of the skin in the affected area.
When to seek care? When the swelling is persistent, increases, or is accompanied by skin discomfort, it is advisable to have it reviewed.
Who can help? The physical therapist takes part in managing measures that promote circulation and leg care, as part of a comprehensive approach. Seeing a professional allows your case to be evaluated and the most suitable path to be defined.
