Patient's question:
My mother has always had varicose veins. When she walks for a long time, her legs hurt and tingle. She didn't pay much attention to it, but recently it has worsened, and she feels some ulcers. The medical level in her hometown is not good, so she wants to go to a big hospital for a proper check-up. She wants to ask which hospital is good for lower limb varicose vein ulcers?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended to seek follow-up treatment at the vascular department of a Class III-A hospital in your local area. The varicose veins described by the patient may be a clinical manifestation caused by long-term standing work leading to venous reflux obstruction due to excessive fatigue. This condition may also be related to primary diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. If ulcers reappear, it is likely due to tissue edema, fluid accumulation, and suppuration. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary.
