Patient's question:
I recently experienced varicose veins again, and they have reappeared on my right leg. My friend who came back told me to start treatment immediately, otherwise it will become increasingly severe in the future, and in serious cases, it may even affect my health. How should varicose veins in the lower limbs be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for lower extremity varicose veins mainly include lifestyle adjustments, medication, and surgical treatment. Patients with varicose veins should avoid standing for long periods in daily life. Daily foot baths with warm water can promote blood circulation and stabilize the symptoms of varicose veins. If the varicose veins are more pronounced, compression stockings can be worn daily. These lifestyle adjustments are very beneficial for varicose veins, and symptoms can also be stabilized by taking oral Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and reduce blood stasis. If conservative treatment is not effective, surgery may be an option.
