JAKARTA - The public was shocked by the health news of the President of the United States, Donald Trump some time ago. The White House announced that Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after experiencing swelling in his leg. Then actually, what is chronic venation insufficiency disease?

As information quoted from WebMD, Monday, July 21, venous blood vessels in the feet function to bring blood from the legs back to the heart. The venue has a one-way valve that prevents blood from flowing back down. When a person experiences chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), these valves cannot completely close. As a result, some blood returns to the feet and pools in the veins. CVI can also prevent leg muscles from pumping enough blood back to the heart. So that sometimes results in vein clogging.

This disease can affect all types of veins in the legs. This includes:

Over time, CVI can cause pain, swelling, varises, and skin changes in the legs. This can also cause open wounds called ulcus on the legs.

This condition is quite common for the elderly. In the US, more than 11 million men and 22 million women aged 40-80 years suffer from variuses. While more than 2 million people suffer from advanced CVI. More than 20,000 people are diagnosed with venous pulses due to CVI each year.

Bleeding in the veins in the legs can damage the valve. Lack of exercise can also cause CVI. Likewise by sitting or standing for a long time. It increases blood pressure in the veins and can weaken the valve.

Causes of valve damage can be in the form of:

Women are more likely to get CVI and have venous problems than men. Some studies suggest that higher CVI levels occur in women because they are caused by changes that occur during pregnancy.

CVI can be lowered in the family, so that a person is more likely to be affected if a close family member has experienced it. The chances are also higher if:

Symptoms that can be felt as follows:

Without treatment, stress and swelling will break a small blood vessel in your leg called capillary. This can turn the skin into reddish brown, especially near the ankle. This can cause swelling and boils. These bisuls are difficult to cure. These bisuls also tend to be infected, which can cause more problems.

The main purpose of treating the Insufficiency Vena Kronis (CVI) is to relieve symptoms and prevent leg ulcus. Doctors suggest a combination of treatment based on age, symptoms, including whether it has variuses and other factors. Several options to help manage CVI include:

Elevation. Often lifting your feet up helps increase blood flow and reduce swelling. You can do this at least three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time.

Compressible stocking. This elastic socks puts soft pressure on the legs to help with blood flow. This stocking is available at various levels of tightness, length, and model. Doctors can suggest which one is the most suitable.

Exercise. Regular exercise helps circulation and blood flow. The routines that are carried out can be as simple as walking. Moving the calf muscles will strengthen it and help pump blood into the heart. Talk to the doctor about the type of exercise and the most appropriate amount of time.

Weight control. If the weight exceeds the healthy limit suggested by the doctor, they may suggest losing weight. Excess weight will put pressure on the veins in the leg, which increases the risk of valve damage. Doctors can tell how to find the right weight control plan.

Trump's chronic venous insufficiency is a venous disease that occurs when the veins in the leg is damaged or clogged. As well as muscles don't work properly to help pump blood into the heart. Although the damage cannot be restored, care and lifestyle changes can control symptoms. Meet the doctor if you experience signs of CVI.
