？Experts say that there are many causes of calf edema, and the most common one is lower limb edema caused by varicose veins. For the edema caused by varicose veins, the only way to completely cure varicose veins is through surgery.

According to the experts of Shanghai Changhang Varicose Veins Hospital, there are many reasons for calf edema, and calf edema should not be taken lightly, because many diseases will cause calf edema. It is usually caused by overexertion of walking, which usually resolves on its own after a night's rest. In addition, some kidney diseases are caused, such as acute and chronic nephritis.

There are also rheumatic diseases that can also cause swelling of the lower limbs. The other is the swelling of the lower limbs caused by varicose veins in the lower limbs. For the edema of the lower leg caused by varicose veins of the lower limbs, the main reason is that the blood return of the lower limbs is not smooth, and the blood accumulates in the lower limbs, causing edema of the lower limbs.

The early symptoms of varicose veins are not too obvious, so it is easy for patients to ignore them and miss the best period. Calf swelling is an early symptom of varicose veins, and it is necessary to go to the early varicose veins as soon as possible. This period of varicose veins is the most suitable period.

If it is not timely, with the development of the disease, the nutritional supply of the lower limbs is insufficient, which will cause dry, hard, itchy calves, as well as some complications, such as eczema, dermatitis, etc. If it is not, it will be converted into an acute ulcer, which will not heal for a long time, seriously affecting the patient's work and study. "Shanghai Changhang Varicose Vein Hospital's "S-EVLT" Holmium Laser Minimally Invasive Surgery" Quickly Recovers Varicose Veins and Improves Vascular Function Shanghai Changhang Varicose Vein Hospital adopts "S-EVLT" holmium laser minimally invasive surgery, which is currently internationally recognized as the most advanced technology for lower limb varicose veins, and finally occlusion to achieve the purpose of **.

This kind of surgery avoids the drawbacks of traditional surgery, such as large trauma, bleeding, obvious scarring, and easy surgery, and achieves a new breakthrough in lower limb varicose veins, which is known as the "gold standard" of lower limb varicose veins.

Varicose veins can cause swelling of the lower legs. It is recommended to do regular lower limb flexion and extension activities, which can mediate the effect of calf muscle pump, increase the flow rate of venous blood, promote the return of venous blood in the lower limbs, and reduce the venous pressure of the lower limbs. Pay more attention to rest, exercise appropriately, and exercise within half an hour is preferred.

Due to the excessive load of daily work, local chronic strain, local inflammatory reactions, increased interstitial pressure between tissues, slower local blood circulation when sleeping, aggravated inflammatory reactions, and swollen feet will occur in the morning. 2.

In acute nephritis, chronic nephritis or kidney disease, due to the decrease of renal blood flow, sodium and water retention, increased capillary permeability, and too much protein loss in the urine, it will cause the plasma colloidal osmotic pressure to decrease, so that the interstitial space has accumulated and caused edema.

2. Cardiogenic edema. When right heart failure occurs in various heart diseases, the venous pressure rises due to the inability of venous blood to return smoothly, and body fluid leaks into the interstitial space, causing edema. 3. Hepatic edema.

Factors such as liver destruction in cirrhosis, obstruction of portal venous return, increased portal venous pressure, and low plasma albumin in liver failure can cause edema. 4. Dystrophic edema. 5. Localized edema of the lower limbs.
