Venous Ulcer - Wound Care Hospitals
Understanding Venous Ulcers Venous ulcers are chronic wounds that typically form on the legs due to poor blood circulation. They are caused by malfunctioning valves in the veins, leading to increased pressure and fluid build-up, which can break down the skin. Without proper treatment, venous ulcers can cause significant discomfort, infections, and affect the patient’s quality of life. At Wound Care Hospitals, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of venous ulcers with the goal of promoting healing and preventing recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Venous Ulcer Services
What is a venous ulcer?
A venous ulcer is a type of chronic wound that occurs on the lower legs, usually near the ankles, due to poor circulation in the veins. It develops when the valves in the veins don’t work properly, causing blood to pool in the legs and leading to skin breakdown.
What causes venous ulcers?
Venous ulcers are caused by chronic venous insufficiency, where the veins in the legs fail to return blood to the heart efficiently. This leads to increased pressure in the veins, fluid build-up, and skin damage, resulting in an ulcer.
What are the symptoms of a venous ulcer?
Symptoms of venous ulcers include swelling in the legs, skin discoloration (usually brownish), itching, and the formation of an open wound that may be painful. The skin around the ulcer may feel hard or thickened, and in some cases, there may be discharge from the wound.
How are venous ulcers treated?
Treatment for venous ulcers includes cleaning and dressing the wound, compression therapy to improve blood flow, infection control, and managing the underlying venous insufficiency. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures like endovenous ablation or sclerotherapy may be recommended.
