Intermittent Claudication is a condition characterized by pain or cramping in the legs or buttocks during physical activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. This discomfort typically occurs due to reduced blood flow to the muscles, often caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD). The pain usually subsides with rest, allowing individuals to resume their activities. The condition is often a sign of underlying cardiovascular issues and can be associated with risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures to improve blood flow and alleviate symptoms.
