What do you mean by venous insufficiency?
Venous Insufficiency is a common vascular condition that happens when the veins, primarily in your legs, struggle to send blood back up to the heart effectively. This occurs because the one-way valves inside your veins become weakened or damaged. When the valves can’t close properly, they allow blood to flow backward and collect in the lower extremities. This pooling creates high pressure inside the veins, leading to the visible swelling, aching, and feeling of heaviness often associated with the condition.
What are the stages of venous insufficiency?
Venous Insufficiency (VI) is categorized into stages based on the severity of symptoms and the extent of skin changes. This system, known as the CEAP Classification, helps our specialists diagnose the progression of the disease and plan the most effective minimally invasive treatment. Understanding the stage of your VI is essential for predicting potential complications and determining the necessary level of medical intervention.
Here are the four most relevant clinical stages of VI:
Stage 1: Spider Veins
Stage 2: Varicose Veins
Stage 3: Leg Swelling (Edema)
Stage 4: Skin Changes
Diagnosis and Treatment for Venous Insufficiency
Once we’ve accurately identified the specific factors contributing to your Venous Insufficiency (VI), such as faulty valves or venous reflux, our team will recommend a personalized care plan aimed at achieving the most ideal results. It is important to know that modern, minimally invasive vein treatments are highly effective at correcting the underlying cause of pooling blood, thereby eliminating heaviness, aching, and swelling. During your visit to MVM Health, our specialists will first precisely diagnose your condition and then create a tailored treatment plan designed just for you.
- Venous Duplex Ultrasound: Used to map blood flow and check the function of vein valves.
- Endovenous Ablation (EVLA/RFA): Closes off larger, diseased veins using targeted energy (heat).
- Sclerotherapy: Injects a solution to seal off smaller varicose and spider veins.
- Microphlebectomy: Removes significant, bulging veins through tiny, pin-prick incisions.
