Donald Trump is diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a common condition in older individuals that causes blood to pool in the legs. The diagnosis followed reports of swelling in his legs observed during a public appearance. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the condition as benign after a comprehensive examination and noted that there is no evidence of blood clots. Chronic venous insufficiency typically presents with symptoms such as tiredness, swelling, and cramping in the legs, and is influenced by factors like obesity, pregnancy, and little exercise.
The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed, and reformed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.
Chronical Venous Insufficiency is a disease of the veins that occurs when they are damaged. The damage causes blood not to flow properly back to the heart - blood then pools in the legs.
