() President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after going to the doctor for swelling he noticed in his legs.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed the diagnosis on Thursday as she addressed questions about recent images of President Donald Trump that showed bruising on his hands and swelling in his lower legs.

The president “underwent a comprehensive medical examination,” Leavitt said.

She said there was “no evidence of deep vein thrombosis” or heart failure.

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot or arterial disease.

The exam found that Trump, 79, has chronic venous insufficiency, which occurs when an individual’s leg veins struggle to pump blood back to the heart, increasing pressure in your leg veins, according to The Cleveland Clinic.

The condition can cause symptoms like swelling and it’s common in individuals over the age of 70.

The bruising on Trump’s hands is “consistent with minor soft tissue damage from frequent handshaking,” Trump’s physician said, according to Leavitt.

She insisted Trump remains in excellent overall health.

“This is a very benign condition,” Dr. Mahsa Tehrani, a Vienna, Va., rheumatologist, told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Thursday. “You have to manage the symptoms, and it is absolutely quite manageable.”

Tehrani said people with the condition typically need to make lifestyle changes, such as exercise, reducing their salt intake or wearing compression stockings.
