to the heart, chronic venous insufficiency may develop, causing long-term swelling and skin damage. One of the most severe consequences is venous ulcers — slow-healing, open wounds that form near the ankles due to poor circulation. These ulcers can easily become infected without treatment.
Blood clots are another serious risk. Surface veins may develop superficial thrombophlebitis, while deep vein thrombosis affects deeper veins and can be life-threatening. A pulmonary embolism — when a clot travels to the lungs — can be fatal without immediate care.
