On Thursday, the White House announced that US President Donald Trump had a medical condition in his veins called chronic venous insufficiency.
During a regular news briefing, Press Secretary Karolin Levit revealed that 79-year-old Trump had focused on swelling in his legs, indicating a check-up with his doctor, which diagnosed him the condition.
Trump was recently photographed with a patch of makeup behind his hand. The White House has stated that it is unrelated to the vein condition, but is instead of frequent handshaking as a result of continuous handshakeing.
There are some important things here to know about the diagnosis of the US President.
What is chronic venous insufficiency?
Trump’s position is “gentle and normal”, especially in individuals over 70 years of age, a doctor at the White House, according to a note by Captain Sean Barbabella, was released to reporters.
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when the veins of the foot do not flow the blood back to the heart, causing it to pool in the lower limbs.
Common blood flow to the heart moves against gravity to the heart, which can become a difficult process in older people.
This can be caused by weakening the valve in the veins, something that can occur as people’s age.
what are the symptoms?

When there is a blood pool in the legs due to chronic venous insufficiency, it can cause swelling in recent photographs of Trump’s ankles.
The Chairman of the Department of Vascular Surgery at Wake Forest University, Dr. Matthew Edwards said, “It may be associated with serious conditions, but in itself it is not a serious condition, and a very common situation.”
“People in his age (group), I would say that it will probably be somewhere among 10 to 35% people.”
Experts say that other risks have overweight, history of blood clots, and for jobs that patients need to stay on their feet for long periods.
What did Trump’s doctor say?
A statement by Trump’s doctor Sean Barbabella stated that after seeing the swelling in his feet, President Trump’s evaluation was “an abundance of caution” by the White House Medical Unit.
Dr. Barbabela wrote that President Trump underwent a “comprehensive examination”, which revealed the old venous insufficiency, which he says that is a “gentle and general position”.
“The important thing is that there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial disease,” he said.
The tests also showed “normal heart structure and function,” Dr. Barbabella said, “No signs of heart failure, kidney loss, or systemic disease were recognized.”
Dr. Barbabella also mentioned the injury to Trump’s hand, which is seen in recent photos, sometimes covered by makeup.
He said, “It corresponds to the slight soft tissue irritation using repeated handshaking and aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard heart prevention,” he said.
The memorandum was concluded, saying President Trump “remains in excellent health”.

How can the condition affect Trump?
The US -based Society for Vascular Surgery said the condition can cause heaviness in the affected organ, as well as swelling and pain.
In some cases, chronic venous insufficiency can also cause painful cramps, cramps, and leg ulcers.
Wearing custom-maids, medical-grade compression stockings can help manage the situation, and experts also recommend patients to raise their feet at night and use lotions.
What has Trump said about his health?
In April, Trump reduced his first annual physical to his second presidential post.
“President Trump remains in excellent health, performing strong heart, pulmonary, neurological and general physical work,” Dr. Barbabela said in a memorandum at that time.
That health evaluation showed that the President takes several medications to control his cholesterol – rosuvastatin and azatimib, as well as momtasone cream for aspirin for cardiac prevention and also for skin conditions.
The US President has regularly postponed his good health and once described himself as a “healthy president who is ever alive”.
After his first annual physical, Trump told reporters that “Overall, I felt I was in great shape”, and he said he felt “a good heart, a good soul, a very good soul”.
