- What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in a leg. The clot blocks blood flow, leading to various complications. If it breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it can cause life-threatening conditions.
- What is Venous Insufficiency?
CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY is when leg veins fail to pump blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool.
Symptoms include leg swelling, tightness, itching, varicose veins, cramping, ulcers, and restless legs syndrome.
