Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) results when valves in your veins start to fail causing back flow leading to a variety of symptoms:
- Fluid retention (edema) in the ankles and lower legs
- Aches and tiredness in your legs
- Overnight leg cramps
- Itchy, flaking skin
- Restless legs
- Skin discoloration or texture changes
- Varicose and spider veins
- Open sores called ulcers on the ankles and legs
It is estimated that 35-40 million adult Americans suffer from significant superficial venous insufficiency, or venous reflux disease. Good news is this condition can be treated with noninvasive vs minimally invasive treatment options.
