Varicose veins belong to the clinical multi-morbidity, common disease, the treatment of the disease has not been optimistic, some patients for varicose veins do not know enough, there are misconceptions, these are invariably lead to the aggravation of the disease, so patients must correct the misconceptions for varicose veins, the following we will look at the misconceptions of varicose veins in the end what are. Misconception one: varicose veins are a disease. From the medical point of view, varicose veins are not the name of a disease, but a clinical manifestation. Such as lower limb venous insufficiency, arteriovenous fistula, deep vein thrombosis sequelae, congenital venous valveless disease and so on can have the performance of lower limb varicose veins. Myth 2: Simple vein stripping can cure varicose veins. Since varicose veins are caused by a variety of diseases, the means of treatment are also different. If venous stripping is performed on a patient with deep vein thrombosis, it may be counterproductive and aggravate the condition. In the case of venous insufficiency of the lower extremities, venous stripping alone has a high recurrence rate. Misconception three: varicose veins are vasculitis. Thrombo-occlusive vasculitis is an ischemic disease of the arteries of the lower extremities that occurs in middle-aged men who have a long history of smoking, and patients with advanced disease often have their limbs amputated due to tissue ischemic necrosis. While varicose vein patients are often accompanied by lower limb ulcers, but the arterial blood supply is normal, the possibility of amputation is very small. Therefore, patients do not need to have ideological concerns. Misconception four: hot compress can activate the blood and have the benefit. Varicose veins patients in addition to superficial venous thrombophlebitis can be appropriate hot compress, should try to avoid hot compress, infrared radiation, etc.. The reason is mainly because hot compresses can lead to arterial dilation of the lower extremities, increased blood flow and aggravated venous depressed blood. Therefore, cool water local bathing is encouraged. The above is the misunderstanding about varicose veins, I think you should have understood, the correct understanding of varicose veins is the key to the prevention and treatment of the disease, I hope that patients can pay attention to it, more knowledge about varicose veins.
