Vascular stenosis is a condition where blood vessels become narrowed, which can restrict blood flow to various parts of the body. This narrowing can occur in arteries or veins and may be caused by factors like plaque buildup, inflammation, or congenital defects. When blood flow is limited, it can lead to symptoms such as pain, fatigue, or even serious complications like heart attacks or strokes.
Treatment for vascular stenosis often involves lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures to widen the affected vessels. In some cases, doctors may recommend a stent or angioplasty to help restore normal blood flow. Early detection and management are crucial for maintaining overall health.
