Swollen ankles after standing for a long time may be caused by poor blood circulation in the lower limbs, varicose veins and other reasons, which need to be relieved and treated by timely braking, medication, surgery and other methods.
1. Poor blood circulation in the lower limbs: Swollen ankles after standing for a long time may be caused by poor blood circulation in the lower limbs if there are no other clinical symptoms. First of all, you need to brake and rest, and at the same time move both lower limbs at intervals to promote blood circulation and improve the phenomenon of swollen ankles.
2. Varicose veins: Varicose veins are caused by venous valve insufficiency and venous obstruction in the lower limbs, resulting in obstruction of venous blood return, which will cause ankle swelling after standing for a long time. Sclerosing agents can be injected via intravenous indwelling needles under the guidance of a specialized doctor. Commonly used sclerosing agents are polydocanol, sodium tetradecyl sulfate, etc. Surgical treatment is available when necessary.
When the patient appears to stand for a long time ankle swelling can not be relieved, should be timely consultation, according to the actual condition of the choice of targeted treatment.
