What should I do if my legs are swollen?

There are many reasons for leg swelling, such as lower extremity venous thrombosis, cardiac insufficiency, nephritis, etc. It is necessary to find out the cause of the disease and then use drugs, surgery and other methods of treatment.
1. Lower extremity venous thrombosis: under doctor’s guidance, anticoagulant drugs can be used for treatment, commonly used drugs are low molecular heparin calcium, heparin sodium, etc. Thrombolytic drugs can also be used for treatment, commonly used drugs are urokinase, alteplase, etc. In the early stage of thrombosis, it is also possible to use drugs for treatment, which are commonly used. In the early stage of thrombus, it can also be treated by catheterization and surgery under the guidance of doctors.
2. Cardiac insufficiency: under the condition of moderate venous return, myocardial diastolic or systolic dysfunction leads to insufficient cardiac excretion and causes circulatory disorders, thus leading to leg swelling, which is commonly seen in the presence of myocardial infarction, cardiac valvular disease and other underlying diseases. For the underlying disease can be treated with aspirin, atorvastatin calcium, sakubutra valsartan and other medications, if necessary, valve replacement.
3. Nephritis: Inflammatory lesions occur in the renal tubules and surrounding tissues, leading to renal injury, affecting the metabolic function of the kidneys, resulting in leg swelling. Immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine can be used to alleviate the problem; for the continuation of nephritis caused by bacterial infection, allopathic norfloxacin and amoxicillin can be used to treat the problem.
Specific treatment methods and drugs, need to be under the guidance of professional doctors.
