Treating Venous Stasis Ulcers
Finding Relief With Mobile Wound Care
Venous stasis ulcers can be a constant source of frustration and pain. We understand the emotional toll chronic wounds can take. The discomfort and limitations they cause can disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Advanced Wound Care, our team of mobile wound care specialists is dedicated to helping you find healing and regain control. We want to see you feeling better, both physically and emotionally.
What are Venous Stasis Ulcers?
Venous stasis ulcers develop when weakened or damaged veins struggle to return blood from your legs to your heart. This pooling of blood increases pressure in the veins, damaging the skin and underlying tissues. These ulcers often appear on the lower leg, typically around the ankle.
Symptoms of Venous Stasis Ulcers
While symptoms can vary, common signs of venous stasis ulcers include:
- Open wound on the leg, usually on the ankle or calf
- Pain, throbbing, or burning sensation
- Swollen legs
- Changes in skin color, such as darkening or redness
- Fluid buildup (edema)
- Itchy skin around the wound
