Washington — President Trump has been diagnosed with a "benign and common" vein condition known as chronic venous insufficiency after he noticed swelling in his legs, the White House said Thursday.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt read the memo at Thursday's press briefing, and the White House later released it.

According to Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic, chronic venous insufficiency occurs when veins in the legs struggle to bring blood back up to the heart.

The president's doctor said he was "thoroughly evaluated" by the White House medical unit "out of an abundance of caution" after noticing swelling in recent weeks.

Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70," the memo said.

The White House doctor also noted recent photos that have shown minor bruising on the back of the president's hand.

Venous disease in general is very common, according to the Cleveland Clinic, with about 1 in 20 adults being affected by chronic venous insufficiency. »
