There are three kinds of treatments for varicose veins in the lower limbs, including: supportive therapy, varicose vein sclerotherapy and surgical treatment of three categories. So far there is no medicine that can completely cure varicose veins of the lower limbs. Wearing medical compression stockings is the most effective method of support therapy. The following are the three treatments for varicose veins:
1. Compression therapy (supportive therapy): Wearing compression stockings or utilizing elastic bandages for compression to reduce venous reflux and bruising. Medical compression stocking is a kind of product with the function of promoting the return of blood to the heart from the veins of the lower limbs. Medical compression stockings establish the highest support pressure at the ankle and gradually reduce it up the leg. In the calf, the pressure is reduced to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure value, and in the thigh, it is reduced to 25%-45% of the maximum pressure value. This decreasing pressure can make the venous blood of the lower limbs return and effectively relieve or improve the pressure on the veins and valves of the lower limbs. The best time to wear compression stockings is in the morning when you get up, because at this time the blood circulation is the most smooth swelling has not yet begun or wear compression stockings before lifting the legs for 5-10 minutes, this action can prevent the blood from flowing back to the long-term standing people the effect of this action is even more significant.
2. Sclerotherapy: Sclerosing agent is injected into the veins to destroy the endothelial cells, causing vasospasm, inflammation and formation of thrombus, fibrosis, and to achieve the purpose of eliminating varicose veins. It is most suitable for the dilatation of small veins. Side effects include allergy, local pain, skin necrosis and pigmentation. If the sclerosing agent is inadvertently injected into the artery, it may cause necrosis and amputation of the limb.
3. Surgical treatment: the aim is to remove the varicose veins. Surgical methods include: high saphenous vein ligation, vein stripping, perforated vein ligation or simple phlebectomy.
Not all varicose veins need to be removed surgically, and it is important to make sure that the deep veins are open before surgery. Surgery is indicated for the following patients:
Severe and intolerable symptoms such as soreness and swelling.
Recurrent thrombophlebitis. Bleeding from a ruptured blood vessel.
Blood depressions causing complications such as dermatitis and ulcers.
It is still necessary to wear elastic bandages or compression stockings for a short period of time after surgery. There are still chances of recurrence of varicose veins after surgery. So people who are prone to varicose veins should pay attention to prevention, that is to avoid standing or sitting for long time (if unavoidable, wear elastic stockings) and have proper exercise.
It is recommended that you wear hospital elastic stockings, the effect is good,
