Leg Ulcers: These are open sores or wounds that typically develop on the lower legs. They are often caused by poor circulation, usually due to problems with the veins or arteries in the legs. Common causes of leg ulcers include venous insufficiency (where the veins have difficulty returning blood to the heart), arterial disease (where the arteries that supply blood to the legs are narrowed or blocked), and other conditions such as diabetes or obesity. Leg ulcers can be painful, slow to heal, and may become infected if not properly treated.
Leg Attack (Acute Limb Ischemia): This refers to a sudden decrease in blood flow to a limb, usually the leg, which can lead to tissue damage or death if not promptly treated. It often occurs due to a blockage in the arteries supplying blood to the leg, such as a blood clot or an embolism (a blockage caused by a traveling blood clot). Symptoms of a leg attack may include sudden severe pain, pallor (pale color) of the limb, numbness or weakness, and coolness of the skin. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and prevent permanent damage.
