Patient's question:
Due to work reasons, the veins on my legs have become increasingly prominent and extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I dare not wear skirts. How is peripheral artery occlusive disease treated?Doctor's answer:
Atherosclerosis of the lower limbs is one form of vascular hardening, which worsens with age. Patients with lower limb artery atherosclerosis occlusion should receive timely treatment to prevent the recurrence of work-related diseases. Lower limb cerebral edema is often localized brain edema, usually caused by arterial spasm and vessel stenosis, which can be treated through stent placement or balloon dilation, or even with medication-induced dilation. After the stabilization of vascular symptoms, we need to focus on systematic treatment, including oral medications or topical treatments.
