Trump's leg swelling and hand bruising draw follow! White House: It is just chronic venous insufficiency, health is not a major issue.
Recently, U.S. President Trump was photographed by foreign media due to swollen ankles and bruises on his hands. The White House subsequently conducted a health check on Trump and confirmed that he was diagnosed with "chronic venous insufficiency." However, the White House emphasized that this is just a common ailment among the elderly and there are no issues with his heart or kidneys; Trump is currently in good health.
Trump's ankle is swollen, and there are bruises on his hands. The White House confirms: chronic venous insufficiency.
According to Bloomberg, last weekend Trump was spotted at a FIFA event, where the media captured his ankle visibly swollen in his sock. By Tuesday, as he was preparing for a trip to Pennsylvania, reporters noticed what appeared to be traces of cosmetics covering his right hand, looking like a bruise. These images immediately raised questions about Trump's health condition.
In response, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated at a press conference this morning on 7/18 that the White House medical team recently conducted a "comprehensive health check" for 79-year-old Trump due to the attention these photos have garnered.
After the doctor's diagnosis, Trump does indeed have "chronic venous insufficiency" (Chronic venous insufficiency), which is a condition that makes it difficult for blood to return from the legs to the heart due to damaged venous valves, resulting in swelling of the legs.
Trump has no thrombosis, no arterial disease, and no signs of heart failure.
White House physician Sean Barbabella ( also issued a memorandum stating that the examination results did not reveal deep vein thrombosis ) DVT (, arterial disease, nor were there signs of heart failure, kidney problems, or other systemic diseases. He emphasized, "President Trump remains in very good health."
It is understood that lower limb venous insufficiency not only causes leg swelling but may also lead to soreness, fatigue, pigmentation, venous eczema, and nocturnal cramps. In severe cases, it can even result in varicose ulcers. Causes include obesity, aging, pregnancy, family or thrombotic history, prolonged standing or sitting, and smoking. The incidence rate in women is four times that of men.
To improve, one must start with lifestyle habits, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, exercising regularly, wearing compression stockings if symptoms are severe, and using antibiotics to treat infections or undergoing laser surgery if necessary.
Bruises on the hands are caused by shaking hands too much, plus long-term use of aspirin.
As for the bruise on her hand, Caroline explained that it was caused by Trump's frequent handshakes recently, and since Trump takes aspirin daily as part of his "cardiovascular prevention regimen," such medications can also make bruises appear more prominent, although they are not serious.
The age record has been refreshed again, and the outside world is once again paying attention to the health comparison between Trump and Biden.
Trump took office again this January, breaking the record of his predecessor Biden, who is 82 years old, becoming the oldest president in American history. During last year's election campaign, Trump often made a big deal out of Biden's age and health. However, now Trump's own health is also being called into question because of these photos.
