Precautions for varicose veins that have been operated on

Pay attention to whether the patient has nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms within 6 hours after varicose vein surgery. If you don't have a liquid or semi-liquid diet, you can eat normally afterwards. Attention should be paid to diversification and nutrition in food selection, so that patients can consume as much vitamins and trace elements as possible to ensure water intake and speed up wound healing; Second, follow your doctor's advice.

After the procedure, the pillow should be removed and the bunk should be placed on a flat bed. A pillow is placed under the affected limb to elevate the affected limb by 20-30 cm. Strengthens venous return, reduces swelling of the affected limb and forms a barrier against deep vein thrombosis.

The ankle should be moved for 5 minutes each time, once an hour, until the ground is moved. To adjust your diet, diet has a great impact on the condition of the disease. Vitamin E supplementation is very important for varicose veins, so patients should eat more vitamin-containing foods, such as:

Spinach, soybeans and malt, to name a few. One week after discharge, you need to have a follow-up visit to check the blood system, platelets, fibrinogen, blood lipids, blood viscosity, INR, etc. According to the results of the examination, the corresponding ** can prevent the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis and superficial venous inflammation, reduce the viscosity of blood, and also prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Soreness, numbness, local subcutaneous bruising, induration, and pigmentation of the affected limb after minimally invasive varicose veins are all normal reactions, which are slowly absorbed and gradually disappear.

2. Pay attention to incision care, and prohibit incision showers within 10 days after surgery to avoid infection. Once the incision has healed, a shower can be taken.

3. When you need to sit or stand for a long time (patients need to take a long-distance bus when they are discharged, be sure to inform them to move appropriately in the car, otherwise it is easy to form deep vein thrombosis), move at least once every 30 minutes. You can choose to go for a walk, and walking more can improve blood circulation in your legs. It can effectively prevent deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities.

When your body is basically recovered, you can continue to work, but try to avoid standing and sitting still for long periods of time at work. When lying flat, you can elevate the affected limb at a 30° angle (3-4 pillows can be inserted) for about half an hour a day. Do dorsiflexion and extension exercises at rest to promote venous return.

Strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor should not be done for 4 weeks after surgery.

There are many causes of varicose veins of the lower limbs, the most common is simple superficial varicose veins of the lower limbs, which is mainly due to the insufficiency of the femoral saphenous vein valve. Another important ** is seen in primary lower extremity deep vein valve insufficiency (PDVI), which is often associated with saphenous vein valve insufficiency, which often presents with tortuous dilation of superficial veins. In addition, post-deep vein thrombotic syndrome of the lower extremities, in which superficial veins compensate for tortuous dilation occur due to poor deep venous return; Lower extremity arteriovenous fistula and venous malformation hyperosteopathy syndrome can also have superficial varicose veins of the lower extremities; Obstruction of inferior vena cava return, such as Budd-Chiari syndrome, can also lead to varicose veins in the lower extremities.

1.Obese people should**, although obesity is not the direct cause, but excessive force on the leg may cause poor venous return in the leg, making the vein dilation aggravated.

2.People who have been engaged in heavy physical labor for a long time and have been standing for a long time should wear elastic stockings to keep the superficial veins in a state of compression.

3.Women should give special care to their legs during special periods such as menstruation and pregnancy, rest more, and massage their legs frequently to help blood circulation and avoid varicose veins.

Varicose veins of the lower limbs are mostly caused by long-term standing and venous valve damage, resulting in venous return disorders. Usually you need to avoid standing and sitting for a long time, and do some leg exercises to promote blood circulation.

Obese people should**, although obesity is not the direct cause, but the excessive weight on the leg may cause poor venous return in the leg, making the vein dilation worse.
