What to do if you have varicose veins on your legs

1. Traditional surgery

The injection mainly involves ligating the veins and injecting high-concentration saline, which seriously damages the activity of the venous valves. Although the effect is quick, the recurrence rate is extremely high.

2. Sclerotherapy:

A hypertonic solution is injected into the varicose veins to destroy the vascular endothelium, causing it to heal and disappear. However, it can only treat small varicose veins and there may be severe pain during the treatment. The choice should be based on your own physical condition.

3. Conservative treatment:

Such as using elastic stockings, exercise, diet and changes in lifestyle. To prevent the expansion of varicose veins and relieve their symptoms. Gentle exercises such as walking, swimming, and cycling can not only improve circulation but also reduce the rate at which new varicose veins form. These methods only play the role of relieving pain and preventing and maintaining health, but have no therapeutic effect.

4. Prevent complications

Therefore, patients with varicose veins of the great saphenous vein must be treated as early as possible to prevent the occurrence of complications. Treatment methods include non-surgical treatment, sclerotherapy injection, traditional surgical treatment and minimally invasive treatment. Now the treatment of varicose veins in the lower limbs ("old leg ulcers") has transitioned from traditional surgery to minimally invasive surgery, that is, laser treatment of varicose veins in the lower limbs. It does not require extraction of blood vessels or multiple incisions to remove venous masses. It only requires local insertion of stimulating laser fibers in the foot and ankle to close and fibrose the blood vessels, thereby achieving the purpose of treating varicose veins and beautifying the legs.

The above are some methods for treating varicose veins on the legs, but none of them can achieve a complete cure. So, can we just let varicose veins harm our health? Of course not, so what should we do? The only way to solve varicose veins is to find the root cause of varicose veins. Patients can treat varicose veins by taking medications such as Shujingtongpingqutongluo to directly attack the root cause of varicose veins.
