Patient's question:
My left leg has varicose veins for twenty years already. I don't know how it is that I now feel as if I can't walk anymore. When walking, it shakes and I feel unstable. Hello doctor, if varicose veins in the left lower extremity and leg swelling have been present for 10 years, can it still be treated?Doctor's answer:
Varicose veins are usually curable through surgery. It is recommended to visit the hospital in time for a detailed examination using color Doppler ultrasound to assess the specific condition. After surgical treatment, it is advisable to wear compression stockings. If there is swelling, you can also elevate your lower limbs during naps. Regularly visit the hospital for follow-up color Doppler ultrasound examinations to monitor the recovery progress. Maintain a light diet and avoid consuming greasy foods.
