Recently, U.S. President Trump was photographed by foreign media due to ankle swelling and bruising on his hands. The White House subsequently conducted a health check on Trump and confirmed he was diagnosed with 'chronic venous insufficiency.' However, the White House emphasized that this is a common condition in older adults and there are no issues with his heart or kidneys. Trump is currently in very good health.

Trump's ankles are swollen, and he has bruises on his hands. The White House confirms: chronic venous insufficiency.

According to Bloomberg, Trump was spotted with noticeably swollen ankles in his socks during the FIFA event last weekend. By Tuesday, while preparing for a trip to Pennsylvania, reporters noticed what appeared to be cosmetic coverage on his right hand, looking like a bruise. These images immediately raised questions about Trump's health.

In response, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated at a press conference this morning on July 18 that the White House medical team recently conducted a 'comprehensive health check' for 79-year-old Trump due to the concern raised by these photos.

After a doctor's diagnosis, Trump indeed suffers from 'chronic venous insufficiency,' a condition that makes it difficult for blood to return from the legs to the heart due to damaged venous valves, leading to leg swelling.

Trump has no blood clots, no arterial disease, and no signs of heart failure.

White House physician Sean Barbabella also issued a memo stating that the examination found no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), arterial disease, heart failure, kidney issues, 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 nighttime 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, with women being four times more likely to be affected than men.

To improve, one must start with lifestyle changes, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, exercising regularly, and if symptoms are severe, wearing compression stockings. Antibiotics may be necessary to treat infections or laser surgery may be performed if needed.

Bruising on the hands is caused by shaking hands too much, along with long-term use of aspirin.

As for the bruising on his hands, Karoline explained that it is due to Trump's frequent handshaking recently, combined with him taking aspirin daily as part of a 'cardiovascular prevention regimen.' Such medications can also make bruises appear more prominent, but they are not severe.

Aging records are being broken again, leading to renewed public interest in the health comparison between Trump and Biden.

Trump resumed office in January this year, breaking the previous record held by Biden at 82 years old, becoming the oldest president in U.S. history. During last year's election campaign, Trump frequently made comments about Biden's age and health. However, now Trump's own health is also being questioned due to these photos.
