Varicose veins, as a chronic vascular disease, are under-recognized by many people, and early treatment is often less frequent. Many patients come to the hospital with more serious complications: thrombophlebitis, bleeding, ulcers (old rotten legs), etc. The danger of varicose veins is even more pronounced in the elderly, as their own blood return is inherently poorer, and varicose veins exacerbate this trend. The danger of varicose veins is that they are prone to a series of serious complications at a later stage, and the risk of amputation and embolism can be fatal when varicose veins are severe. So the elderly must pay attention to the treatment and prevention of varicose veins. Specific methods are as follows: 1, strengthen physical exercise The elderly should choose the appropriate exercise method according to their own situation, the amount of exercise is not in large but in fine. Usually, they can elevate the lower limbs and massage the legs, which can promote the blood flow back to the lower limbs and improve the venous stasis of the lower limbs; they can squat and stand up exercise, which can make the pressure of the blood vessels of the lower limbs change sharply and exercise the function of the venous valves. 2.Improve blood circulation Elderly people due to the aging of body organs, coupled with the frequent existence of hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, these factors make the blood circulation is not smooth, easy to cause the patient’s lower extremity blood stagnation, so that the blood pressure in the lower extremity veins increases, damage to the intima, resulting in vascular tortuous deformation, which is an important cause of varicose veins. Older people should actively treat hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, and also use drugs that lower blood lipids to make blood circulation smooth. 3.Supplemental oxygen The lack of oxygen in the body will directly lead to the lower limb veins, the content of oxygen is reduced, the lower limb veins do not get enough oxygen, which will make the venous valves function abnormally, so that the blood in the lower limb cannot flow back in time, resulting in venous stasis and increased pressure in the blood vessels, which is another cause of varicose veins. Older people should usually do more aerobic exercise, and if necessary, they can inhale oxygen. (1) Walking: it is the most suitable exercise for the elderly, often walking exercise, can regulate the function of the organs, enhance the muscle strength of the back and legs. (2) Gymnastics: there are many methods, such as radio exercises, health exercises, medical gymnastics. (3) Self-massage: general techniques include pushing, rubbing, kneading, pinching, pinching, pointing, taking, rubbing, etc., which can promote blood circulation and improve metabolic function. (4) jogging: no more than 30 minutes at a time. (5) Taijiquan: suitable for the elderly and frail, hypertension, coronary heart disease patients. (6) Qigong, physical therapy. Exercise should be gradual, the intensity and amount of exercise should be appropriate. If you feel feverish and slightly sweaty when exercising, relaxed and comfortable after exercise, it means that the exercise is appropriate. Exercise dizziness, chest tightness, palpitations, loss of appetite after exercise, poor sleep, obvious fatigue, indicating that the amount of exercise is too much, need to adjust the amount of exercise in a timely manner. (7) gymnastics, fitness dance, tai chi, various chess activities, singing, dancing, etc.. But we should pay attention to the exercise should be appropriate, to have a regular and planned elderly people should be made in the morning exercise.
