Venous Ulcer Treatment at the Vein Center
What is Venous Ulcer?
Venous ulcers, also known as venous stasis 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 of Venous Ulcers?
- Open, slow-healing sore above the ankle
- Brownish or reddish skin discoloration
- Thickened, leathery skin around the ulcer
- Itchy and dry skin
- Swelling in the lower leg, especially after standing or sitting
- Pain at the ulcer site, varying in intensity
- Heavy or aching sensation in the legs
- Irregular edges of the ulcer
- Inflamed, warm, and red skin around the ulcer
- Signs of infection, such as discharge from the ulcer
Stages of Venous Ulcers
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.
Stage 2
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.
Stage 3
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.
Stage 4
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.

Best Medicine or Cream for Varicose Veins or Venous Ulcers?

Some doctors prescribe Anticoagulant tablets for varicose veins. Anticoagulants are blood thinners which will reduce your varicose block for a time and you will feel good. But it’s not considered as a cure. After one month you have to choose one of the above treatment and under go the procedure to stop your varicose vein problems.
