An ulcer is an open wound on the skin that won’t heal or keeps returning. A venous stasis ulcer is one of the most common types of ulcers. It usually affects the legs, where leaky veins may be present. Venous stasis ulcers develop when there is a problem with blood circulation, usually in the legs. If the valves within the blood vessels fail, the blood doesn’t flow back to the heart properly, leading to ulcers and a condition known as venous insufficiency.
When the blood in the veins doesn’t flow properly, the pressure in these blood vessels increases. The pressure weakens the walls of the veins, and an ulcer can develop from an injury or a break on the skin. The ulcer won’t heal normally unless your doctor correctly diagnoses the vein problem and treats it.
At the Vein and Vascular Center offices in New York City and New Jersey, vein doctors, led by vein expert Dr. Jonathan Arad, have access to the latest medical technology. They provide the correct diagnosis of multiple vein conditions and the delivery of effective vein treatments.
