Trump diagnosed with chronic vein condition after photos of swollen ankles surface

This report covers the announcement from the White House regarding US President Donald Trump's health. Following speculation sparked by viral photos showing swollen ankles, White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levy confirmed that the president has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. This condition, described as common in individuals over 70, occurs when veins have difficulty moving blood back to the heart. The diagnosis was made after a comprehensive examination, including Doppler ultrasounds, which ruled out more serious issues like deep vein thrombosis. The White House statement described the condition as "a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70." While not life-threatening, the condition can be painful and affect one's quality of life, with treatments including lifestyle changes and, in severe cases, surgery.
