How to treat bulging blood vessels in the calves

Blood vessels are organs throughout the human body. All organs in the body need blood to transport nutrients to maintain normal operation, but some people have problems with their blood vessels. Bulging blood vessels in the calves is a very common condition. This condition is very likely caused by varicose veins. This condition has a relatively large impact on the human body and people need to pay attention to it and treat it as soon as possible. Here we will introduce how to treat bulging blood vessels in the calves.

The bulging blood vessels in the calves are varicose veins. It is mainly caused by insufficiency of the great saphenous vein or femoral vein valve, and may also be caused by the sequelae of deep vein thrombosis. The most common clinical cause is great saphenous vein valve insufficiency. Mainly for varicose veins of the superficial veins in the lower legs caused by great saphenous vein valve insufficiency, you should first avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, and you should also appropriately raise the affected limb. For patients with milder symptoms, local application of elastic stockings can be considered. This method can also be used if surgery cannot be tolerated. For patients with moderate varicose veins, the treatment effect can be achieved through intracavitary laser occlusion or the application of sclerosing agents to superficial veins. If the varicose vein is obvious and combined with varying degrees of ulcers, eczema or thrombophlebitis, open surgery should also be considered, mainly high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein. If it is an acute stage of superficial vein thrombophlebitis, sensitive antibiotics and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs should be given first for treatment, and surgical treatment should be performed after the condition stabilizes.

The most common cause of bulging blood vessels in the calves is varicose veins. The main cause is obstruction of venous valve return. If the symptoms are mild, you can wear elastic stockings for treatment, which can delay the progression of the disease. If tortuous and dilated venous clusters have formed in the lower limbs, surgical treatment is necessary. The commonly used surgical method is high ligation and ten-segment stripping of varicose veins of the great saphenous vein. The stitches can be removed and the patient can recover about half a month after the operation.

Clinically, bulging blood vessels in the calves are considered to be varicose veins in the lower limbs. If the patient's calf blood vessels are severely bulging, it is best for the patient to undergo surgical treatment. Generally, in clinical practice, the traditional high ligation and stripping of the great saphenous vein can be chosen. However, with the continuous deepening and development of the concept of minimally invasive surgery, patients can also undergo laser treatment of the great saphenous vein. Currently, this technology has been widely used in clinical practice. Also, it should be noted that patients also need maintenance after surgery, avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, and raise the affected limb when resting, so that patients can recover well.

Pentoquine is usually chosen to calm varicose veins of the lower limbs. Varicose vein patients can prevent the expansion of varicose veins and relieve symptoms through self-treatment and health care by wearing elastic stockings, exercising, changing diet and lifestyle. In terms of exercise, patients with varicose veins can engage in milder exercises such as walking, swimming, and cycling. In terms of diet, they should eat more high-fiber, low-fat foods and increase the supplementation of vitamins C and E. In daily life, patients should learn to control their weight, avoid taking birth control pills, avoid wearing tight clothing and high heels, do not cross their legs, and avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Raise your legs for a while before going to bed every day. Patients with varicose veins must quit smoking and drinking.
