Patient's question:
Due to work reasons, the veins on my legs are becoming more and more prominent, and it's very uncomfortable. I'm even afraid to wear skirts. I'm asking about the TCM treatment for lower extremity varicose veins.Doctor's answer:
First of all, varicose veins are primarily caused by local blood stasis or thinning of the vein walls. Generally, people who stand for long periods or frequently carry heavy loads are more likely to increase their risk of developing the condition. Based on your description, you can first consider wearing compression stockings for varicose veins. If you want to be treated through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), you can visit a TCM hospital. TCM practitioners can use various herbal medications for internal consumption to treat this condition. However, not every TCM hospital has this expertise.
