What Is Chronic Venous Insufficiency?
CVI is a venous circulation disorder caused by valve
dysfunction in the leg veins, allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the
veins.
Common symptoms include:
• Heaviness or fullness in the legs
• Swelling that worsens by evening
• Visible varicose veins
• Itching and nighttime cramps
• Skin discoloration
• Open sores in advanced stages
(venous ulcers)
CVI is more than just a cosmetic problem ; it is a
progressive vascular condition that can seriously impair daily life if left
untreated.
How Is CVI Diagnosed?
A physical exam alone is not sufficient. The gold standard for diagnosis is color Doppler ultrasound, which assesses vein valve function, flow direction, and the severity of insufficiency.

Watch for Hidden Signs of Venous Disease
Even without visible varicose veins, symptoms such as leg pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, tingling, night cramps, or restlessness may suggest hidden chronic venous insufficiency — especially if you have a family history of varicose veins.
CVI can progress silently and affect deeper veins before it becomes visible.
