What are the treatments for varicose veins

The reason why varicose veins are called an occupational disease is that many people who work in professions that require standing for long periods of time, such as teachers and salespeople, are at high risk of developing varicose veins. This disease does not cause obvious harm to the human body in the early stages of the disease, but as time goes by, other complications may arise, endangering people's health. Now I will introduce to you several effective methods for treating varicose veins.

1. Treatment by Traditional Chinese Medicine: Based on the TCM theory that "when Qi moves, blood moves", a series of prescriptions are combined to treat symptoms such as regulating Qi, dispelling cold, clearing heat, removing dampness, replenishing blood, calming the latent forces, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. By adjusting the body's functions, the factors that cause thrombosis are eliminated and new thrombi are prevented. In this way, the blood vessels of the affected limb can undergo normal metabolism, thereby eliminating the disease.

2. Surgical extraction: Make an incision in the groin, cut, ligate or extract the great saphenous vein. Common treatment for varicose veins requires hemiplegia or systemic analgesia and requires hospitalization for 2-3 days. If the varicose veins are too severe, several small incisions may be needed to remove the varicose veins section by section. The treatment is complete but has the disadvantages of subcutaneous bruising and more painful wounds.

3. Blood circulation and stasis removal therapy: Chinese patent medicines such as vasculitis tablets and Xuefu Zhuyu oral liquid can be used for treatment. Decoctions are available.

4. Avoid standing for long periods of time. Elevate the affected limb when sleeping or sitting to relieve congestion and pain. People with ulcers should stay in bed. Applying an elastic bandage or wearing compression stockings can improve venous return. A diet high in protein and rich in vitamin C helps ulcers heal.

5. Physical therapy: The ulcer wound can be irradiated with ultraviolet light, helium-neon laser or low-dose X-ray to promote healing.

6. Surgery: Surgical stripping therapy is used to treat varicose veins in the lower legs. It causes great pain to patients, is costly, and leaves scars and complications, which are difficult for patients to accept.

7. Minimally invasive therapy: one-time treatment, no scars; no surgery, no pain; purely green, zero harm.

If varicose veins are ignored and left untreated for a long time, the skin on the legs will turn darker, the pain will increase, and skin ulcers will occur. Therefore, once you find that you have varicose veins, you must seek treatment as soon as possible. The above methods can effectively treat varicose veins. You may as well try it.
