“…Moreover, zinc supplement in patients with low zinc level improves the process of wound healing [20]. Deficiency of vitamin C and D was found high in patients with venous ulcer; therefore, diets rich in these vitamins may be supplemented to improve wound healing [21,22]. Impaired calf muscle pump function significantly intensifies the risk of chronic venous insufficiency and aggravates the risk of venous ulcers [20].…”

Venous ulcer is an extremely common aetiology of lower extremity ulceration, which affects approximately 1% population in most of the countries, and the incidence rate increases with age and female gender. Proper assessment and diagnosis of both the patient and ulcer are inevitable in order to differentiate venous ulcers from other lower extremity ulceration and to frame an adequate and individualised management plan. Venous ulcers generally persist for weeks to many years and are typically recurrent in nature. This consensus aims to present an evidence-based management approach for the patients with venous ulcers. Various management options for venous ulcers include compression therapy, minimally invasive procedures like sclerotherapy and ablation techniques, surgical procedures, debridement and medical management with micronised purified flavonoid fraction (MPFF). Compression therapy is the mainstay treatment for venous ulcer. However, in failure cases, surgery can be preferred. Medical management with MPFF as an adjuvant therapy to standard treatment has been reported to be effective and safe in patients with venous ulcer. In addition to standard therapy, diet and lifestyle modification including progressive resistance exercise, patient education, leg elevation, weight reduction, maintaining a healthy cardiac status and strong psychosocial support reduces the risk of recurrence and improves the quality of life in patients with venous ulcer.
