They occur when veins, which are responsible for returning deoxygenated blood to the heart, are unable to effectively pump blood upwards. This leads to blood pooling in the lower legs, increasing pressure in the capillaries and causing fluid to leak into the surrounding tissues. This fluid buildup and swelling can eventually lead to skin breakdown and ulcer formation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venous Ulcers are the most common and costly chronic wound ulcer seen in the United States and affect women three times more often than men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prevalence of lower limb ulcers ranges from 0.12% to 0.32% of the general population. (Burrows 2006) Patients experiencing venous ulcers suffer from the inability to heal and the high rate of reoccurrence at 72%. (Sibbald 2006) Venous ulcers can cause pain, limit activities of daily living, and negatively impact quality of life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venous ulcers can be caused by damaged or leaky venous valves or a faulty calf muscle pump action that causes sustained high venous pressure known as venous hypertension. These ulcers are usually located around the medial malleolus and are accompanied by edema or swelling of the affected leg, large amounts of drainage, and often have a scaly type of skin condition known as dermatosis. It is important to note that not all leg ulcers are venous in origin, particularly those ulcers located above or below the gaiter and ankle region.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27dc701 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"27dc701\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14953a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-heading\" data-id=\"14953a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" ><div class=\"ekit-heading elementskit-section-title-wraper text_left   ekit_heading_tablet-   ekit_heading_mobile-\"><h2 class=\"ekit-heading--title elementskit-section-title \">Characteristics of Venous Ulcers<\/h2><div class=\"ekit_heading_separetor_wraper ekit_heading_elementskit-border-divider elementskit-style-long\"><div class=\"elementskit-border-divider elementskit-style-long\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee5543a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee5543a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Location:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most commonly found on the inner part of the leg, above the ankle.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Appearance:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They tend to have irregular borders and a shallow appearance.
