Patient's question:
I usually enjoy traveling and staying active, but recently, for some unknown reason, I've been experiencing occasional numbness in my arms and legs. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the result was a shocking diagnosis: peripheral artery disease (PAD). So, what are the treatment options for peripheral artery disease?Doctor's answer:
Now you have appeared again with peripheral artery occlusive disease, and conservative treatment is currently recommended. You need to take statin lipid-lowering drugs long-term, in addition to antithrombotic agents for treatment. You should pay attention to a low-sodium, low-fat diet, avoid foods with high fat content, especially fatty meat, and eat more fruits and vegetables. You should also engage in regular activities every day, maintain a good mood, and avoid excessive stress.
