Why are my calves swollen in the afternoon?

If your calves become swollen in the afternoon, it is likely caused by problems with your kidney function. If patients want to effectively control this disease in a timely manner, it is best to choose a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination, so that the cause can be accurately found and the treatment can be very helpful. So let's take a look at why your calves become swollen in the afternoon.

First, why do the calves swell in the afternoon? Calf swelling occurs every afternoon, which is more common in patients with lower limb blood circulation disorders and varicose veins. It is more common in the elderly and women. The edema may disappear in the morning, worsen after afternoon activities, and can be relieved by raising the affected limb. It often appears symmetrically. It is recommended that you go to the internal medicine department for further examination, clarify the cause of the disease and receive reasonable treatment. Pay attention to the combination of rest and work. You can undergo acupuncture, physical therapy, control your diet, and avoid standing and walking for long periods of time.

Second, those with calf vein injuries: Due to injuries to the superficial vein walls and venous wall valves, the elasticity of the vein walls and valve function may be affected after healing, causing varicose veins at the injured site. People who bear heavy weights for a long time: such as those who engage in physical labor or athletes. So, how to treat varicose veins in the lower legs? Many patients only treat the superficial symptoms of varicose veins, rather than the root cause; patients do not comply with the doctor's treatment plan, and believe in the so-called "family secret recipes, folk prescriptions, special medicines" and so on. The reason for this situation is that many patients have tried multiple drugs during the long-term treatment process. Many drugs can relieve the symptoms in the short term, but the condition cannot be well controlled and is prone to recurrence.

Third, many patients have gradually lost confidence in traditional Western medicine and have placed their hopes on miracle drugs, mysterious folk remedies, and palace secrets. Many businesses have taken the opportunity to promote the successful development of special medicines and the discovery of old folk remedies for treating varicose veins. They claim that they can cure the disease, completely cure varicose veins, guarantee a cure for varicose veins, and that varicose veins can be 100% cured. The actual situation is that many patients spend money in vain and fail to achieve the expected results.

Why do calves swell in the afternoon? Patients with early varicose veins do not need surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatments are often used, mainly including elastic stockings or elastic bandages on the affected limbs, with the aim of keeping the varicose veins in a deflated state. Therapeutic compression stockings should have a pressure difference between high distal and low proximal to facilitate backflow. In addition, you should avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, and raise the affected limb intermittently. Non-surgical treatment can only improve symptoms and is suitable for: localized lesions with mild symptoms; onset during pregnancy. Given that symptoms may disappear in the late stages of delivery, non-surgical treatment may be temporarily used. For varicose veins in the middle and late stages, surgery is the main treatment.
