Venous Ulcers treatment in Los Mochis

Venous ulcers usually appear in people with circulation problems in the legs, when the blood doesn't return well to the heart and the elevated pressure in the veins damages the skin. They are wounds that are slow to heal, almost always near the ankle.

Common causes: chronic venous insufficiency, long-standing varicose veins, and a history of clots in the legs.

Common symptoms: open wounds, darkened or hardened skin around them, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness in the legs.

Which specialist treats them? The angiologist evaluates the venous circulation; the general surgeon and the infectious disease specialist take part depending on how the wound progresses. Because these are lesions that can become complicated, the advisable step is to have a professional evaluate the leg and supervise its care.
