Varicose veins are chronic diseases and most of the patients have a long course of the disease, so they can choose the appropriate treatment according to their actual situation, or they can visit the vascular surgery department of the hospital and consult a professional physician: 1. If the varicose veins have been occurring for many years but have not progressed significantly, there is no continuous enlargement of the vein mass, there is no edema, pain, skin pigmentation and itching, ulcers, no calf soreness and discomfort, these varicose veins can be left untreated for the time being. 2.Medication with elastic stockings: If there are symptoms such as soreness, edema, pain and itchy skin, you can take drugs such as mai zhi ling and abortifacient to improve the function of veins, promote reflux and improve the symptoms. At the same time, you should wear elastic stockings, which are more important than all medicines. You have to use special “medical sequential decompression compression stockings”, there are many brands at present, ranging from 300 to 600 yuan, I personally recommend buying imported compression stockings, the pressure is more standard and comfortable to wear. As long as you get out of bed and walk, you can put on the stockings and take them off at night when you rest. Even if you wear elastic stockings, you should pay attention to rest. After walking or standing for 30~60 minutes, you should elevate your limb and rest for a few minutes. Elastic stockings are divided into short tube and long tube, short tube is suitable for varicose veins only limited to the lower and middle section of the calf, long tube is suitable for heavier and thigh varicose veins, personally recommended long tube, more comfortable to wear and better effect. 3.Sclerotherapy: For light to medium varicose veins or reticular veins, capillary dilation, you can use sclerotherapy, which can also achieve very good results, see other articles on personal homepage for details. 4.Surgery: Surgery is suitable for patients with varicose veins of grade 2-6, and there are many methods, such as traditional high ligation and stripping, endoluminal planing, radiofrequency or laser closure, endoluminal traffic branch ligation, etc. Our hospital carries out mainly laser closure + point stripping + sclerotherapy, which has the characteristics of small incision, beautiful, fast recovery and low recurrence. There is another situation that varicose veins are not the primary disease, it is secondary to other diseases of deep veins, such as Buga syndrome, post-deep vein thrombosis syndrome, iliac vein compression syndrome and other diseases, at this time, the primary disease should be treated actively, simply removing the superficial varicose veins may increase the burden of deep veins and aggravate the disease. Therefore, necessary examinations need to be performed before surgery to clarify the presence of other primary diseases and set a reasonable treatment plan, instead of blindly performing surgery.
