Swelling of the calves after exercise may be related to muscle strain and varicose veins of the lower limbs, reduced kidney function and other factors, which can be treated by physical therapy and drugs to reduce swelling.
1. Muscle strain: Post-exercise swelling of the calves may be due to long-term non-exercise after a sudden excessive amount of exercise caused by leg muscle strain. Physical therapy such as localized hot compresses and massages can be used to alleviate the symptoms of swelling. If the symptoms are serious, you can take Celebrex and Loxoprofen sodium tablets orally under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
2. Varicose veins: Swelling of the calves after exercise may also be related to the presence of varicose veins in the lower limbs. Prolonged participation in heavy physical labor or standing for a long time can lead to varicose veins in the lower limbs. They can be treated by wearing compression stockings. If the varicose veins are more serious, surgical ligation can be performed.
3. Reduced renal function: swelling of calves after running may be related to reduced renal function, because reduced renal function can lead to water and sodium retention, which can cause generalized edema and swelling of calves after running. Targeted treatment for kidney disease is needed. Bed rest. Serious disease may require hemodialysis treatment.
If the symptoms of calf swelling after exercise continue to worsen, it is also necessary to exclude whether there is heart failure and arterial embolism and other diseases.
