Description
Chronic Venous Insufficiency is a disease of the Veins.
Normally, the Veins in the Legs send the blood back to the Heart. With contraction and relaxation of the Muscles, the Veins push the Blood upwards. There are Valves present in the Veins that prevent the back flow of Blood. If the Valves get damaged, the Veins fail to send the Blood upwards. This results in the collection of Blood in the Veins and causes Swelling. It is known as Chronic Venous Insufficiency. It causes pain and discoloration of the Skin on the Legs. Pain goes worse in prolonged standing.
