Non-Diabetic Ulcer Clinic

Venous Hypertension Ulcers

Constant high pressure inside the leg veins, called venous hypertension, slowly suffocates the skin near the ankle until it breaks down into a stubborn ulcer.

Overview

A venous hypertension ulcer forms when pressure inside the leg veins stays high for years, starving the ankle skin of proper circulation. Compression therapy plus correction of the failing veins is the proven path to healing.

What Is Venous Hypertension?

Healthy leg veins push blood upward against gravity using one-way valves and calf muscle pumping. When valves fail or a past clot blocks the deep veins, pressure inside the veins stays permanently high. Over time, that pressure forces fluid into the tissues, stains the skin brown, and finally breaks it open near the ankle.

Venous hypertension: persistently raised blood pressure inside the leg veins caused by valve failure or old blockages.

Which Signs Should You Watch For?

  • Swelling that increases through the day and eases overnight
  • Brown or rusty staining of the skin above the ankle
  • Hard, tight skin that feels bound to the tissue beneath
  • An open, weeping wound near the inner ankle

How Does EDFC Treat It?

Treatment attacks the pressure and the wound together. Graduated compression reduces the venous load, our vascular team assesses and treats the underlying valve or vein problem, and structured wound care rebuilds the skin. In addition, calf exercises and elevation habits protect the result.

Cost and Next Steps in Surat

Compression-based treatment remains affordable at most Surat clinics, and EDFC confirms all costs before starting. If your ankle skin is darkening or has broken open, book a consultation early, because ulcers treated sooner heal faster.
