After the photos were recently circulating from the seemingly inflated legs of President Donald Trump and his forceful hand, doctors speak of possible causes and concerns.
In a “transparency effort” on Thursday, White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, shared a note from Trump’s doctor after he was undergoing a “comprehensive exam” by the White House Medical Unit.
During a press informative session, Leavitt stated that Trump’s swollen legs were part of a “benign and common condition” called “chronic venous insufficiency” that can affect the older individuals. (The President is 79.)

“It is important to emphasize that there was no evidence of thrombosis of deep veins or of arterial diseases,” he said.
Leavitt attributed the bruise of the president’s hand to “firing frequently and the use of aspirin.”

“This is consistent with the minor irritation of the soft tissues due to frequent hand disposition and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regime,” he said.
“This is a well -known and benign side effect of aspirin, and the president continues in excellent health.”
“Common Condition”
Scott A. Sundick, MD, a Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon of the Westfield Cardiovascular Care Group, New Jersey, commented on the concerns that have been raised. (Has not treated the President.)
“The swelling of the legs is a common condition, particularly among the adults.
“The President continues with excellent health.”
While the swelling of the legs is often benign, it can sometimes be a symptom of serious conditions, potentially that they can jeopardize life, such as the thrombosis of deep acute veins (DVT), a congestive heart failure (CHF), or a renal failure, according to the doctor.
“In the case of the President, the causes were adequately ruled out by means of a combination of diagnostic tests, including a venous doppler ultrasound, echocardiogram and laboratory evaluations respectively,” he added.

Sundick also spoke about the diagnosis of the President of Chronic Venous Venous Feature, which he described as a “relatively common and benign condition”.
“In normal circumstances, blood returns to the heart from the legs through the veins, helped by the contraction of the leg muscles with each step we take,” he said.
Deaths from heart attacks have fallen in the United States but new cardiovascular threats arise
“These contractions help push the blood upwards and the valves of the veins prevent it from flowing back towards the feet. When these valves weaken or incompetent, blood can be grouped in the lower legs, a condition known as venous insufficiency.”
This condition can cause symptoms such as the swelling of the legs or the varicies, the doctor said.

The treatment usually includes the use of compression stockings or, in some cases, a minimally invasive outpatient procedure called venous ablation.
Regarding the bruise attributed to aspirin, Sundick said that many adults are taking the aspirin of daily doses daily as part of a cardiovascular disease prevention strategy.

“Aspirin works by inhibiting platelet function, reducing the risk of blood clots that could cause heart attack or cerebrovascular accidents,” he said.
“A well -known side effect of aspirin is an augmented trend in bruise easily, even with a minor trauma.”

Sundick said this is “common and generally not important”, especially considering the “well -established cardiovascular benefits of aspirin”.

Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News Senior Medical Analyst, also commented on the bruises seen in Trump.
“As you grow old, the skin can be more friable (fragile), less elastic and more prone to easy bruise,” said Siegel, who did not treat the president, in Fox News Digital.
“I don’t think anything is hidden.”
“Aspirin interferes with platelets function, which makes this more likely.”
In a Thursday episode of “America Reports”, Siegel said that he found that the “reassuring” medical update, calling the Trump condition “non -serious, completely benign and cosmetic”.
“It is expected that a man who is in the late 70’s and standing all the time,” Siegel added, noting that the compression stockings and elevation of the legs could help reduce swelling and any possible discomfort.

The doctor also said that he “accepts the explanation” that Trump’s contusion is caused by the “vigorous hand disposition”.
“I don’t think there is anything hidden,” said Siegel.
