The bloodletting therapy for varicose veins is unscientific and has no theoretical basis. The so-called bloodletting therapy is performed in remote areas, or in small irregular hospitals. The procedure is performed by puncturing the superficial veins to make the blood flow out of the veins of the lower limbs, thus reducing the local blood stagnation. However, it should be clear that varicose veins are due to their own vascular causes, such as thin walls, poor vascular elasticity, valve insufficiency, blood regurgitation resulting in increased pressure in the veins of the lower extremities, which in turn results in tortuous expansion of the veins of the lower extremities. Bloodletting therapy alone only solves the surface symptoms of the disease, but not the root cause of varicose veins. At the same time, bloodletting, if not done properly, can cause excessive blood loss and life-threatening conditions. Therefore, when varicose veins appear, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital and choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a specialist.
