Which department for varicose veins in the calf

Varicose veins in the calf can be treated in the General Surgery Department or in the Vascular Surgery Department. Varicose veins in the calves are mainly caused by stagnation of blood in the calves and weak walls of the veins, which is a vascular disease and can be treated in the vascular surgery department of the hospital, but can also be treated in the general surgery department. This is because general surgery covers a wide range of conditions and there are some hospitals that do not have a separate vascular surgery department. Early symptoms of varicose veins in the calf are often hidden, but as the disease progresses, it can lead to bulging superficial veins in the calf, sometimes accompanied by heaviness, soreness and discomfort in the lower limbs. Varicose veins in the calf usually need to go to the hospital to take a venous valve function test, deep vein patency test and other tests, after diagnosis, according to the severity of varicose veins, take appropriate treatment. Varicose veins in the calf should go to the hospital in time, cooperate with the doctor to carry out the examination, diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
