Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of atherosclerosis of the lower limbs?Doctor's answer:
If atherosclerosis reappears in the lower limbs, it can lead to edema and lower limb pain. Generally, preventive measures against thrombus formation are necessary. This can be confirmed through a detailed ultrasound examination to assess blood flow and detect the presence of thromboemboli. Most cases of bilateral numbness require attention to whether there is neuritis. Oral anti-platelet and thrombolytic drugs can be used for treatment. Additionally, with atherosclerosis, dietary precautions should be taken, and beer should be avoided.
