Leg swelling is a common symptom of venous insufficiency, a condition where the veins in the legs struggle to return blood to the heart. The pooling of blood in the lower extremities leads to increased pressure, causing fluid to leak into surrounding tissues and resulting in swelling.

Treatment options to address leg swelling include:

• Compression therapy: Alleviates swelling and improves blood flow.
• Lifestyle changes: Encourages better circulation.
• Advanced procedures: EVLT or RFA for long-term relief.
