Venous Stasis Ulcers treatment in Chihuahua

Venous stasis ulcers, also called venous ulcers, are wounds that appear mainly on the lower part of the legs when poor return circulation causes blood to pool in the veins. They tend to be slow to develop and prone to recur.

Common symptoms: sores in the ankle area, darkened or thickened skin, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness in the legs.

Common causes: they are related to chronic venous insufficiency and to varicose veins that hinder the return of blood to the heart.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the ones who evaluate leg circulation and guide the care of these lesions. If you have a wound on your leg that does not close, seeing a vascular specialist helps address it in time and care for the affected skin.
