What medicine should I take for varicose veins in my lower legs?

Varicose veins are quite common in our daily life, especially for the elderly, who are prone to varicose veins in the lower legs. This is mainly a symptom caused by the impact of venous return, which is related to regular sitting or standing for long periods of time. It often causes patients to experience lower limb soreness and swelling. At this time, certain medications can be used to relieve the symptoms. Of course, if it is more serious, the best way is surgical treatment.

What medicine should I take for varicose veins in my lower legs?

Some elderly patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs can relieve the symptoms of varicose veins in the lower limbs by using drug treatment. However, since the drugs are generally imported and have little effect on some patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs after the second stage, they are prone to recurrence because the drug effect cannot fully reach the lesions.

Laser therapy for varicose veins in the lower limbs:

This treatment method for varicose veins in the lower limbs is currently a relatively safe and reliable treatment. Patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs need to endure less pain and do not have to worry about scars. The placement of various drainage tubes after surgery not only limits the early bed activities of patients with varicose veins, but also affects their postoperative recovery. Moreover, laser minimally invasive surgery cannot treat smaller collateral varicose vessels, so there is still a possibility of recurrence.

Surgical treatment of varicose veins of the lower limbs:

An incision is made in the groin and the great saphenous vein is cut, ligated or extracted. Common treatments for varicose veins in the lower limbs require hemiplegia or systemic analgesia and require hospitalization for 2-3 days. If the varicose veins are too severe, several small incisions may be needed to remove the varicose veins section by section. The treatment is complete but has the disadvantages of subcutaneous bruising and more painful wounds.

Acupuncture therapy for varicose veins of the lower limbs:

Patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs lean upright with their center of gravity on the affected limb to allow the varicose veins to fill; the doctor fixes the affected limb with his left hand and holds a magnetic round plum needle with his right hand, using wrist movements to create a tapping force, first tapping from Zusanli along the stomach meridian to Jiexi, then tapping from Sanyinjiao along the spleen meridian to Yinlingquan, and tapping each quickly 3 to 5 times. Then, the doctor uses the left thumb to press firmly on the uppermost part (proximal end) of the varicose veins, starting from the distal end of the varicose veins in the lower limbs, tapping vertically, gradually to the proximal end, until the varicose veins bulge locally, the blue earthworm-like varicose veins disappear, and the temperature rises (local redness or fever on the hand trigger). Treat once every 15 days. One course of treatment is 3 times. Before using this method, a deep venous reflux test is required. Only those with good reflux can be treated with magnetic plum needles.
