What to look for after minimally invasive varicose vein surgery

After the minimally invasive varicose vein surgery, you should pay attention to the use of venous compression stockings, nutritional supplements, and getting out of bed as soon as possible. The compression stockings should be worn continuously for 48 hours after the surgery. After 48 hours, the compression stockings can be taken off when you are lying in bed, but it is important to wear the compression stockings when you are doing other activities. It should be noted that if you feel unbearable discomfort in the affected limb while wearing the compression stockings, you should take off the stockings immediately and go to the hospital. After surgery, patients should take food rich in protein and iron, and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. Examples include eggs, spinach, and lean meat. Supplementation of protein, vitamins and trace elements can accelerate wound healing. After surgery, patients should get out of bed as soon as possible, appropriate activities can promote the venous blood return of the lower limbs to avoid thrombosis. However, strenuous exercise should not be carried out, so as not to cause excessive pressure in the veins to aggravate the condition. At the same time, patients should avoid sitting for a long time and standing for a long time, which will also cause poor venous blood return in the affected limbs.
