This article was originally published  by The Epoch Times: Trump Undergoes Medical Exam After Swelling in Legs

In a health update that has certainly sparked more discussions than a typical medical report, President Donald Trump recently underwent a thorough evaluation due to noticeable swelling in his lower extremities, alongside some minor bruising on his hands. The White House, in its infinite wisdom of transparency, assured the public that the president is in “good health,” after the examination confirmed a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency—a condition as common among those over 70 as the phrase “fake news” in political discourse.

This diagnosis was revealed by press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the daily briefing on July 17, showcasing a commitment to transparency that would make even the most seasoned PR professionals nod in approval. “In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs,” Leavitt stated, emphasizing that the president’s medical team had acted out of “an abundance of caution.” After all, when one is a public figure, even the slightest hint of a health issue can send the rumor mill into overdrive.

Chronic venous insufficiency, in layman’s terms, means that the veins are having a tough time doing their job—specifically, getting blood back up to the heart. While it may sound alarming, the doctor reassured that it is a “benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.” Trump, having celebrated his 79th birthday on June 14, fits snugly into that demographic.

As for the curious case of the bruised hands? The doctor attributed those to the inevitable consequences of frequent handshaking—a presidential pastime—and perhaps a side effect of aspirin, which the president takes as part of his routine for cardiovascular health. Yes, even in the political arena, handshakes can lead to minor mishaps.

The evaluation included a battery of tests designed to leave no stone unturned: from diagnostic vascular studies and bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds to a complete blood count and an echocardiogram. All results were reportedly “within normal limits,” with no signs of heart failure or other serious conditions lurking in the shadows.

Chronic venous insufficiency is quite common, with around 150,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Risk factors include not just age, but also weight and lifestyle choices—like sitting too long, smoking, or having a family history of varicose veins. So, if you ever wondered what could lead to such a condition, it’s a mix of poor lifestyle choices and the relentless march of time. Fortunately, the president shows no signs of severe complications, which can include ulcers or deep vein thrombosis.

For those grappling with this condition, lifestyle changes are often recommended: losing weight, exercising, and elevating one’s legs can all help. This advice, while practical, might not be as catchy as a campaign slogan but is certainly useful nonetheless.

This examination comes on the heels of the president’s annual medical check-up in April, where he was declared to be in excellent health, exhibiting “robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.” His physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, noted that Trump’s active lifestyle—filled with meetings, public appearances, and, of course, golf victories—contributes significantly to his overall well-being.
