veenihaigusi

Veenhaigusi, also known as venous diseases, refers to a range of conditions affecting the veins of the circulatory system. These diseases can manifest in various ways, often impacting the legs due to the increased pressure placed on these veins. The most common form is chronic venous insufficiency, where the veins struggle to effectively return blood to the heart. This can lead to symptoms like swelling, heaviness, pain, and skin changes.

Another prevalent venous condition is varicose veins. These are enlarged, twisted veins that are typically visible just beneath the skin. They often occur in the legs and can be a cosmetic concern as well as a source of discomfort. Spider veins, a milder form of varicose veins, appear as small, delicate red or blue lines on the skin's surface.

More serious venous diseases include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. DVT can be dangerous as the clot can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. Less common but still significant are venous ulcers, open sores that develop on the skin, often near the ankle, as a result of long-term venous insufficiency. Treatment for veenhaigusi varies depending on the specific condition and its severity, ranging from lifestyle changes and compression therapy to medical procedures and surgery.
