Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 21 years old. I would like to know about the treatment for varicose veins in the lower limbs because when I went for a health check-up recently, the doctor told me that I have this condition. I would like to ask you, how should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the situation described by the patient about their local hospital, we do not fully understand it. In this case, you can go for a follow-up visit to the Vascular Surgery Department of a reputable national Grade III-A hospital. After the doctor conducts a thorough examination, please follow their medical advice for treatment. If conservative treatment is recommended, it often involves the use of blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medications, in addition to symptomatic drugs. The patient should pay attention to rest and can elevate the affected limb appropriately to promote blood flow. Recurrence is often caused by long-term standing work, which leads to impaired venous return in the lower limbs, resulting in this clinical manifestation. If the condition is severe, the doctor may recommend surgical treatment.
