Varicose Veins Treatment Choice of method is important

  Most of the patients with superficial varicose veins in lower limbs mainly manifest as bulging, dilated and curved, even curled into a ball, soreness, swelling, weakness, swollen feet after standing for a long time, and brown pigmentation and eczema in the skin of lower limbs and ankles in the late stage. If the time is too long or improper treatment can lead to lower limb edema, local tissue hypoxia, causing skin keratinization, desquamation, minor trauma can lead to poor healing, and delayed as a long-lasting chronic ulcer, commonly known as “old rotten leg”.  Superficial varicose veins of lower extremities are often treated as a disease in the past, but with the deeper understanding of this common disease, it is found that it is actually a common manifestation of venous system diseases, such as Buga’s syndrome, iliac vein stenosis or occlusion, lower extremity deep vein valve insufficiency, deep vein thrombosis sequelae, arteriovenous fistula, etc. These diseases are all manifested as superficial varicose veins. Therefore, superficial varicose veins of the lower extremities are only a symptom, not a disease diagnosis.  Choosing the right treatment for superficial varicose veins of lower limbs should be combined with different etiologies, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and patients’ general conditions as well as treatment requirements.  At present, the vascular surgery department of Yangzhou First People’s Hospital adopts international advanced treatment technology to treat varicose veins of lower extremities, which has relieved the pain of varicose vein patients in Yangzhou and surrounding areas. Its treatment method emphasizes “a straight line”, highlighting a “point” and covering the whole “surface”, which has the characteristics of small trauma, fast recovery, complete treatment and short hospitalization period, greatly saving It is characterized by small trauma, quick recovery, thorough treatment and short hospitalization period, which greatly saves medical cost and valuable time for patients.  Emphasis on “one straight line”: the operation is performed by ligating the saphenous vein and its branches at the root of the thigh at the point where the saphenous vein merges into the deep vein (femoral vein), and the whole process of stripping the main trunk of the saphenous vein, leaving only small incisions at the ankle and the root of the thigh to minimize the trauma of repeated stripping, and the surgical incisions are closed with cosmetic sutures, leaving no scars.  Highlighting a “point”: For varicose veins in the calf section, the vascular surgeon marks the lesions precisely with a special pen before surgery, and then uses “point” stripping during surgery, without bleeding and with small incisions.  Covering the whole “surface”: Many varicose vein patients are reluctant to be treated because they are afraid of “open surgery”, and another reason is that they hear people around them say, “varicose veins cannot be cured, and they still recur after open surgery. “. The department adopts minimally invasive and minimally scarred surgical treatment, which is non-bleeding, small incision, effective and fast recovery. Precise positioning before surgery and several “points” during surgery completely peel off the subcutaneous varicose vein mass, generally the operation takes about 30 minutes, and you can go down to the ground 6 hours after surgery and take a slow walk the next day. So there are few complications and low recurrence rate.  Through this thorough treatment of “point, line and surface”, most patients can get good treatment. For patients with mild symptoms of superficial varicose veins in the lower extremities that do not require surgery, the department can also perform sclerotherapy, which is a procedure that involves injecting medication into the varicose veins at several points to close them, and this procedure can be done on an as-needed basis, saving the patient’s valuable time to the maximum.  Superficial varicose veins in the lower extremities must be treated as early as possible, and for your health’s sake, choose the right treatment method!
