What are the treatments for peripheral arteriosclerosis?

The treatment of peripheral arteriosclerosis must be carried out in a timely manner so as to minimize and lower the harm. The treatment includes some drug therapy, blood lipid regulation, a reasonable and scientific diet, and the use of some lipid-lowering drugs.

1. Patients who have already developed arteriosclerosis should actively receive treatment to prevent the progression of the disease and reverse it. Patients who have developed complications should be treated promptly to prevent them from worsening.

2. The main methods of drug treatment are:

1. Dilate blood vessels and relieve vascular movement disorders.

2. Regulate blood lipids. If blood lipids are still higher than normal on the basis of a reasonable diet and moderate exercise, lipid-lowering drugs can be used.

3. Anti-platelet adhesion and aggregation drugs can prevent thrombosis and the occurrence and development of vascular occlusive diseases. Commonly used drugs include: enteric-coated aspirin, ticlopidine, etc.

4. Thrombolytic drugs and anticoagulants. For those with intra-arterial thrombosis that causes stenosis or blockage of the artery lumen, thrombolytic drugs and anticoagulants can be used.

3. Diet therapy

Such as garlic, onion, tomato leek, celery, kelp, seaweed, black fungus, white fungus, peach hawthorn, cantaloupe, papaya, strawberry, lemon, grape, pineapple, salmon, mackerel, sardines, etc., have good preventive and therapeutic effects on lowering blood viscosity and reducing abnormal clots in the blood.
