There are numerous treatment options for varicose veins of the lower extremities, including physical therapy, drug therapy and surgery. The vast majority of simple, mild varicose veins in the lower extremities can be treated conservatively to control the further development of the disease. If the results are poor and other clinical manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency appear, surgical treatment can be considered, but the cause of varicose veins must be clearly identified before surgical treatment of varicose veins is performed. Varicose patients use elastic stockings, exercise, diet and lifestyle changes to prevent the expansion of varicose veins and reduce their symptoms. Gentler exercises such as walking, swimming and bicycling can improve circulation and reduce the rate of new varicose veins. Varicose veins patients should eat a high-fiber, low-fat diet and take vitamin C and E supplements. In terms of daily life, varicose vein patients should control their weight, avoid taking birth control pills, avoid wearing tight clothing and high heels, stretched legs, and avoid prolonged sitting or standing. Elevate your legs for a period of time every day before going to bed, and sleep on your left side to reduce the pressure on the pelvic veins. Smoking can increase blood pressure and damage the arteries and veins, so patients with varicose veins should quit smoking immediately. If the limbs are swollen, you can take oral medications such as herbaceous rhinoceros leaf and mai zhi ling to reduce the swelling, which can usually achieve good results.
