Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Leg swelling: It appears that the veins of the right leg have valvular insufficiency possibly from old damage,phlebitis or genetic factors. A vascular surgeon can evaluate and advise you. Ultrasounds may be recommended for thorough evaluation. Wearing a compression stocking on the right leg may be advised.
