Chronic venous insufficiency
Due to the condition of varicose veins, the affected person’s valves become faulty and do not perform their work properly, i.e., not supplying the blood back from the legs towards the heart. When the valves do not pump back the blood towards the heart, then the blood starts going backward through the valves and collects in the veins of the legs. This insufficiency of valves results in the formation of a blood pool in the legs, which ultimately results in the blood clotting in these veins. Chronic venous insufficiency can happen in the advanced stage of varicose veins, and mostly the older adults face this serious symptom because their valves are more worn out. Moreover, the consequences of chronic venous insufficiency include the disabling of the affected person to walk, and it causes a lot of pain too. The disease’s progression with this symptom can lead to leg ulcers, which is a very severe health concern.
