What is Venous Ulcer?

Venous ulcers, also known as venous stasis ulcers or varicose ulcers, are open sores that typically occur on the lower legs, particularly around the ankles. They are the most severe complication of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where the veins in the legs do not efficiently return blood to the heart. This leads to increased pressure in the veins, causing fluid to leak into the surrounding tissue, which can break down the skin and result in ulcers.

Venous ulcers are often painful and slow to heal due to poor circulation. They can be triggered by minor injuries or even appear spontaneously. Symptoms include swelling, itching, and discolored skin around the ulcer site. Proper treatment is crucial to prevent infection and further complications. Treatment usually involves compression therapy, wound care, and addressing the underlying venous insufficiency through procedures like minimally invasive ones, or surgery. Without treatment, venous ulcers can become chronic and severely impact quality of life.

Symptoms and Stages

Venous ulcers progress through several stages, each characterized by specific symptoms and skin changes. Understanding these stages can help in early detection and appropriate treatment:

Stage 1

Pre-Ulcer Stage (Skin Changes)

Symptoms: The skin around the ankles and lower legs starts to change, often becoming discolored (brownish or reddish).

Signs: The skin may thicken, harden (lipodermatosclerosis), and become itchy or dry. Swelling may be present, especially after standing or sitting for long periods.

Early Ulcer Stage

Symptoms: A small, shallow sore appears, usually where the skin is most discolored.

Signs: The ulcer is typically painless initially but may start to become uncomfortable as it progresses. The sore has irregular edges and is often surrounded by inflamed skin.

Established Ulcer Stage

Symptoms: The ulcer grows larger and deeper, and pain may increase, especially if the ulcer becomes infected.

Signs: The ulcer remains open and shows little signs of healing. There is often a discharge, and the skin around the ulcer may be swollen, red, and warm to the touch.

Chronic Ulcer Stage

Symptoms: The ulcer becomes chronic, persisting for weeks to months without proper treatment. Pain is often significant, and the risk of infection is high.

Signs: The ulcer can become more extensive, with thickened edges and significant surrounding skin changes. The area is prone to repeated infections and may produce a foul-smelling discharge.

What is Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are swollen and enlarged veins that usually occur on the legs and feet. They may be blue or dark purple, and are often lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance.

Any vein that is close to the skin’s surface (superficial) can become varicose veins. Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. That’s because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins of the lower body.

Symptoms and Stages

Varicose veins develop progressively, starting from mild venous issues and potentially leading to more severe complications. Here’s a breakdown of the stages:

Stage 1

Spider Veins (Telangiectasias)

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are small, thin veins that appear near the surface of the skin. They are usually red, blue, or purple and resemble a spider web or tree branches. Spider veins are often a cosmetic concern and may cause mild discomfort, but they generally do not lead to significant health issues.

Reticular Veins

Reticular veins are slightly larger than spider veins and are usually blue or green. They are located deeper under the skin than spider veins but are still visible. Reticular veins can be more uncomfortable and may be associated with a dull aching or burning sensation, especially after standing for long periods.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are larger, swollen veins that have lost their valve function, causing blood to pool and veins to become enlarged and twisted. They often appear as bulging, blue or purple veins on the legs. Symptoms include aching pain, heaviness, throbbing, and itching. The discomfort is usually worse after prolonged standing or sitting. Varicose veins are a more serious stage of venous insufficiency and can lead to complications if untreated.

Edema of the Lower Leg

As varicose veins worsen, they can cause edema, or swelling, of the lower leg. The ineffective blood flow leads to fluid leaking into the surrounding tissues, causing the legs to swell, especially around the ankles. Edema may be more pronounced at the end of the day or after long periods of standing. This stage indicates more advanced venous insufficiency.

Varicose Eczema (Venous Eczema)

Varicose eczema, also known as venous eczema or stasis dermatitis, is a skin condition that arises due to chronic venous insufficiency. The skin around the varicose veins becomes red, itchy, and inflamed. The skin may also become scaly, dry, and prone to cracking. Over time, the skin may darken due to hemosiderin deposits (iron from blood cells) and become more susceptible to infections.

Venous Ulcer

Venous ulcers are the most severe stage of chronic venous insufficiency. They are open sores that usually develop around the ankle, where the skin has become thinnest due to prolonged venous insufficiency. Venous ulcers are often painful and can be slow to heal due to poor blood circulation. They pose a significant risk of infection and require medical attention to prevent further complications.
