If you have varicose veins, you must receive regular treatment. Blood drawing as a treatment method does not provide a good therapeutic effect, and blood drawing alone cannot be used for treatment. After you have varicose veins, you must use appropriate methods to treat it based on the specific condition. If the condition is not particularly serious, you can treat it by wearing tights. If it is more serious, you will need medication, surgical treatment, etc. Treatment methods for varicose veins There are four treatment methods for varicose veins of the lower limbs, including compression therapy, drug therapy, varicose vein sclerotherapy and surgical extraction. 1. Compression therapy uses graduated decompression stockings for varicose veins. Graduated decompression elastic stockings establish the highest support pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease upward along the leg. The pressure is reduced to 70%-90% of the maximum value in the calf and to 25%-45% of the maximum value in the thigh. This decreasing change in pressure can allow venous blood to return to the lower limbs, effectively alleviating or improving the pressure on the lower limb veins and venous valves. It is best to wear compression stockings in the early morning before getting out of bed and not take them off until you go to bed at night. 2. Drug therapy: Drugs can effectively activate paralyzed autonomic nerves and restore vascular autonomic nerve function through the plant active molecules they contain, thereby preventing the formation of venous thrombosis, reducing fibrosis of tissues and organs, dissolving blood fibers, regenerating skin and new granulations, and completely curing varicose veins in the lower legs. 3. Sclerotherapy: Injecting a hypertonic solution (such as high-concentration saline or sclerotherapy) into the varicose veins to destroy the vascular endothelium, causing it to heal and disappear. However, it can only treat small varicose blood vessels, and the treatment may cause severe pain, pigmentation, and even inflammation, redness, swelling, ulceration and other sequelae. It is also easy to relapse and difficult to deal with after relapse, so it is only suitable for a small number of patients. 4. Surgical extraction surgery involves making an incision in the groin to cut, ligate or extract the great saphenous vein. It requires partial or general anesthesia and 2-3 days of hospitalization. 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. Extravascular laser or pulsed light: The principle is the same as the laser cosmetic treatment for removing spots. The advantages are that it only requires local anesthesia, short treatment time, low pain, very small wounds, no ugly scars, and you can walk immediately. However, it only treats tiny varicose spider veins and requires several treatments at your own expense to be effective. |
