On August 25, I had varicose vein surgery, and now I have dark spots.

Patient's question:

On August 25, I had varicose vein surgery. Now I have dark spots. What's going on? Are they serious?

Doctor's answer:

During the surgery, some venous blood may flow out from the great saphenous vein into the subcutaneous tissue, forming subcutaneous bruising, which is normal and needs to be absorbed gradually.
Advice: Since the superficial veins are stripped, venous is obstructed, so recovery is slower. Moderate exercise and local heat application should be effective.
