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 3

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 4

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.

People that have symptoms despite conservative therapy may need other interventions. See a vascular specialist!

Question 5

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.

Question 6

can venous stasis lead to decreased venous return?

Accepted Answer

Sort of: Venous stasis is a condition of skin changes which is due to an abnormality in Venous return. It is generally cost by Val problems that allow blood from high-pressure veins to enter the low-pressure veins that my under the skin. These veins respond to this increased pressure by becoming large, letting fluid go through their loss creating swelling, letting blood go through their loss creating discoloration and finally having so much back pressure that nutritious arterial blood cannot enter an area of the skin. This results in ulcers.

Question 8

has anyone ever heard of venous stasis, what i can do?

Accepted Answer

No worries: Venous stasis is  very common and almost never life threatening or even limb threatening.  It occurs most commonly when the valves of the leg veins breakdown and no longer prevent blood from traveling with gravity all the way to the feet.  Compression stockings are the mainstay of therapy and can prevent more serious complications such as ulcerations if used consistently.

Question 9

what is the definition or description of: venous stasis?

Accepted Answer

Venous stasis.: Venous stasis is the backup of venous blood flow due to malfunctioning(refluxing) of the venous valves.  These valves occur in the superficial , perforator and deep venous systems.  When these valves malfunction, the back pressure builds up in the veins leading to venous hypertension and symptoms of leg heaviness, cramping or tiredness.  Signs of venous stasis would be varicose veins and swelling.

Question 10
