What is Chronic Venus Encounter (CVI)
The Cleveland Clinic states that CVI is a type of van disorder. When the veins of the feet are damaged and stop functioning properly, this problem is called Chronic Venus Encounter (CVI). There are valves in the veins of the feet which help to move the blood upwards towards the heart. However, in this medical condition, these valves are damaged. In case of damage, they are unable to close properly and the blood starts flowing backwards. Due to which blood starts accumulating in the feet. This increases the pressure in the veins and can cause problems like swelling or wound.
Its symptoms may include pain, heaviness in the feet or feeling of tingling and the appearance of varicose veins. According to Cleveland Clinic, this problem is usually in people over 50 years of age. 10 to 35 percent of adults in the world have this problem. In India too, one in every three adults have chronic venus insufficient, while 4-5 percent of the people appear in severe form. In this, this condition takes the form of ulcers.

In CVI, the blood flow in the feet slows down and it does not reach the heart properly. If it is not treated, the pressure in the veins of the feet increases so much that the smallest blood vessels, ie cells, burst. This causes the color of that part to become red-brown on the skin and that part can burst even if a little injury or scratch.
The explosion of capillaries can cause many serious problems –
There may be swelling in that part.
Tissue damage, ie internal part of the skin may be damaged
Venus stasis ulcers, ie open wounds on the skin.
These ulcers do not recover quickly and if not taken care of, then there may be infection in them. This infection can also spread to the surrounding skin, which is called cellulitis. If not treated on time, this condition can be dangerous.
