What are the treatment methods for varicose veins?

Patient's question:

The inner thigh has deeper varicose veins, and the entire calf has varicose veins with. The inflammation has healed. I would like to know the latest methods for treating varicose veins at your hospital.

Doctor's answer:

Use compression stockings to reduce swelling caused during exercise by applying external pressure. Theoretically, the pressure from compression stockings is the highest at the ankles and gradually decreases upwards. It is usually best to wear them up to the thighs. Compression stockings are best put on in the morning before getting out of bed and taken off at night before going to bed. If a patient has developed leg ulcers due to venous hypertension, they should follow the doctor's guidance to take antibiotics and diuretics, as well as use special medical supplies for treatment.
