Patients with varicose veins are best not to be treated with hot compresses. Because the varicose veins are elevated venous pressure, stagnant blood in the veins, the blood in the veins penetrates into the subcutaneous tissue and stimulates the skin to a certain extent, so the skin will be in a state of dystrophy, such as itching, darkening of the skin, eczema, and the patient will keep scratching the skin, and the skin may break. Hot compresses may have a certain effect on the skin, making the skin dystrophy further aggravated, and the skin may be stimulated to break down and form certain ulcers. If the infection is combined, the treatment will be very troublesome. Therefore, patients with varicose veins should not be treated with hot compresses for the first time. The regular treatment of varicose veins can be done by compression therapy, wearing varicose veins elastic stockings or tying elastic bandages, which can reduce the pressure inside the varicose veins and facilitate the recovery of the disease. If the complications are more serious, surgery can be performed.
