Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) occurs when the veins in the legs are unable to effectively return blood to the heart, leading to symptoms like swelling, pain, and skin changes. Over time, CVI can progress and contribute to a condition known as Phlebolymphedema, where the compromised venous system leads to a buildup of lymphatic fluid, causing significant swelling and discomfort in the legs.
Treatment for these conditions focuses on improving circulation and managing swelling to prevent complications. This includes the use of compression therapy, such as bandaging or compression garments, to support blood flow and reduce fluid buildup. Additional interventions may include manual lymphatic drainage, elevation of the legs, lifestyle modifications like regular exercise, and addressing underlying causes with medical procedures if needed. With proper management and care, patients can significantly improve their symptoms and quality of life
