President Donald Trump underwent medical tests after being seen with deep bruises in his fans and legs fans in recent days, and was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, said the press secretary of the White House, Karoline Leavitt on Thursday.
Leavitt said Trump noticed “slight swelling at the bottom of the legs”, which led to the White House medical team to evaluate it. They concluded that Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a condition in which there is no adequate blood flow in the veins on the legs. This can make blood grouped, causing swelling at the bottom of the legs.
“The president underwent a comprehensive examination that included vascular diagnostic studies, ultrasound intravenous bilateral doppler of lower extremities were carried out and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over 70 years,” Leavitt said in the presentation of the White House press on Thursday.
While chronic venous insufficiency is not considered a severe medical condition and is treatable, it can be uncomfortable or painful. The condition is very common in older adults. The treatment may generally include medications to increase blood flow, leg elevation or minor procedures to improve blood flow or surgery in more serious cases.
There was no evidence of deep venous thrombosis or arterial disease and an echocardiogram showed normal cardiac structure and function, Leavitt said, he added that all the results of the tests were “within the normal limits.”
Leavitt addressed the photos distributed online that show minor bruises in the back of the president’s hand, attributing the bruises to “irritation of smaller soft tissues due to frequent hands and the use of aspirin.”
“The president remains in excellent health,” Leavitt said.
