Venous Leg Ulcers

Venous leg ulcers are open wounds that occur on the lower leg due to problems with the veins, leading to slow or non-healing wounds. They are more common in older people and can cause pain, restrict mobility, and impact quality of life. Treatment usually involves managing the underlying venous insufficiency and using compression therapy to help the ulcers heal.
