Question 1

healthy boy 14 yrs with unpredicted sudden venous stasis over whole body; no oedema of other alarm signs, spontaneous recurrence to normal. cause?

Accepted Answer

Give more detail: What do you mean by venous stasis all over?
What symptoms? Did any event like injury happen before? Any illnesses?

Question 2

can stress cause venous stasis ulcers to worsen?

Accepted Answer

Stress Veins: Not specifically. Stress is never a helpful thing--we do not recommend stress to help cure our patients no matter what the disease may be. Venous stasis ulcers will worsen if the underlying pathology, increased pressure of the veins, is not addressed nor treated appropriately. Other causes of worsening ulcers can include an infectious etiology also.

Question 3

could low blood pressure cause venous stasis?

Accepted Answer

No: venous stasis, usually referring to blood pooling in the veins of the legs is due to incompetent leaking valves in the vein there. The pooling blood leads to increased pressur in the veins of the lower legs, which can cause injury to the skin in the lower legs.

Question 4

can low blood pressure cause venous stasis?  or unrelated?

Accepted Answer

LBP and Venous Stasi: Blood pressure is disease of the arteries. Venous stasis is disease of the veins. While both may exist in the same patient, they are not necessarily connected. Venous stasis is due to floppy veins, usually in the lower extremities. The back flow of blood is what causes the increased blood pressure in the veins. The increased pressure allows fluid to leak into the tissues causing venous stasis.

Question 5

is it possible for low blood pressure to cause venous stasis?

Accepted Answer

No: No. Varicose veins develop because a valve somewhere in the veins has failed and blood pools in the leg veins rather than traveling back to the heart. Plus, a low blood pressure affects the arteries not the veins.

Question 6

i have had a venous stasis ulcer for 6 months. it was determined that it is caused by a valve insufficiency.  what is the best and safest way to cure ?

Accepted Answer

Remove the vein: number one rule to heal venous stasis ulcer is to eliminate the stasis.
you can achieve that by wearing high pressure stocking.
eliminate prolonged standing or sitting.
eliminate the disease vein with a bad valve by having it removed either by destroying the vein from inside the lumen,or romove the vein completely,or destroying the vein from outside by laser.
losing weight might help.
keep leg up.

Question 7

what is venous stasis?

Accepted Answer

Venous stasis: The  issue is one of vein hypertension, due to the impeded flow of blood returning to the heart, especially in the legs. This is due to incompetent valves in the veins. With increased blood pooling in the legs comes 'heavier' legs, swelling, pain from swelling, pitting in the skin, leakage of fluid and blood into the tissues, leakage of the fluid onto the skin causing maceration and destruction...

Question 8

how do you treat venous stasis?

Accepted Answer

Get the blood moving: Venous stasis is sluggish flow due to venous insufficiency (valve damage) or calf muscle dysfunction due to bedrest, improper gait/footwear or injury.
Ambulation with good calf muscle contraction, enhanced by compression stockings and correcting the vein problem (varicose vein disease/insufficiency) also helps.
Those at risk for blood clots (heredity, surgery, malignancy) may need blood thinners.

Question 9

what can i do for venous stasis pain?

Accepted Answer

Compression: The best way to deal with pain and aching often associated with venous stasis is to prevent it! compression stocking are the mainstay of therapy.  Most commonly knee high garments with at least 20-30 mmhg compression. Weight loss, leg elevation, and excercise all have important roles. People that have symptoms despite conservative therapy may need other interventions. See a vascular specialist!

Question 10

is venous stasis disease considered a disability?

Accepted Answer

Veonus Stasis: Venous stasis disease is a very common disorder. Most patients have mild disease that is easily controlled with compression stockings. Certainly, there are patients where the extent of disease is so severe that they can be considered disabled.
