What causes the swelling on the child's leg?

Patient's question:

Got married last year, had a daughter last month, but after the child was born, we noticed a lump-like thing on her leg. Because the child is young and my wife is still postpartum, we haven't had a chance to check it carefully. But a few days ago, we took the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was a congenital varicose vein and needed surgical treatment. What assistance is needed: What causes neonatal varicose veins?

Doctor's answer:

1. Pregnancy may trigger the onset of the disease.
2. The training requires prolonged standing.
3. Caused by congenital or generational inheritance.
4. Deep vein insufficiency leads to increased intravascular pressure, causing superficial veins to dilate sideways.
5. Trauma may result in venous valve damage, leading to varicose veins. When the condition is mild, elevating the lower limbs and resting can help. Alternatively, elastic bandages and compression stockings can be used to promote venous blood flow. If accompanied by pain, surgical intervention such as extensive vein removal may be performed.
