President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign condition causing blood to pool in the legs. The diagnosis followed an examination for mild leg swelling. While follow-up tests ruled out more serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis, the condition, common in older adults, warrants attention to lifestyle factors like weight and activity level. Treatment focuses on improving leg vein circulation through exercise and compression stockings; President Trump's physician reports him in excellent health.
