AURORA–Chronic Venous Insufficiency is a condition where the veins of the legs don't appropriately pump the blood back towards the heart.

The heat during the summer months, combined with standing for long periods, dehydration, and increased travel time sitting in hot vehicles can also aggravate the issue.

You can manage the symptoms by:

• Staying hydrated

• Elevating your legs, and

• Wearing compression stockings.

Maintaining an active lifestyle with low impact activities such as walking, bicycle riding, and swimming can help regulate blood flow. It can also improve circulation and tone muscles in your legs, which can help pump blood toward the heart.
