Venous Stasis Ulcers

What causes Venous Stasis Ulcers?

Venous ulcers, also called venous stasis ulcers, are caused by abnormal vein function and most commonly occur on the lower leg. These ulcers account for more than ¾ of chronic wound care.

A venous ulcer can develop even after a minor injury if you have an underlying problem with the circulation in your legs. While the ulcer may heal temporarily, it will eventually return if the chronic venous insufficiency isn’t addressed.

“Venous ulcers can be caused by injury, blood clots, age, or excessive weight. Initial symptoms may present as an itchiness or reddening of the skin of the leg. Eventually, the rash will develop into a painful, open wound.”
