Venous Stasis Ulcers

 

At Jovive Wound Care, our team of board-certified experts focuses on delivering advanced healthcare solutions for persistent wounds such as Venous Stasis Ulcers. 

What are Venous Stasis Ulcers?

Venous ulcers are a common occurrence in the legs, arising from circulation issues within the leg veins, with a higher frequency observed around the ankles. These ulcers develop due to damage to the valves within the leg veins. Contributing factors include varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency.

What to look for

Venous ulcers typically present as shallow, irregularly shaped sores with discolored or hardened skin around them. Symptoms may include foul odor, dull ache, itching, discharge, and swelling. Due to poor blood flow in the legs and ankles, these wounds often heal slowly or not at all.

Regularly inspecting your legs or seeking assistance is essential to catch any emerging wounds early. Early detection is key to preventing long-term damage. Prompt intervention and preventative measures are vital for managing and avoiding these debilitating wounds. If you’re concerned about an open wound, don’t hesitate to contact o Jovive Wound Care  for immediate assistance.
