Everything About Leg Swelling and Varicose Veins: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention
Leg swelling is more than just a discomfort; it’s a clinical symptom that requires attention. Understanding why your legs swell is the first step towards recovery and preventing long-term damage.
Why is it happening?
- Venous Insufficiency: When vein valves fail, blood pools in the lower legs, causing pressure and swelling.
- Lymphedema: A condition where the lymphatic system cannot properly drain fluid, leading to persistent swelling.
- Risk Factors: Obesity, prolonged standing, and family history significantly increase the risk of vascular issues.
