What should I do if I have swollen varicose veins in my lower limbs? Where to go to see a doctor

When I went to the Jiangxi Fire Brigade Hospital, I also had a good experience in this hospital, and the effect was good.

It is recommended to avoid standing and walking for a long time, and to use varicose vein stockings of the lower limbs to slow down the progression of the disease. For more serious cases, surgery is recommended.

You can go to Kunming Kunlu varicose veins department and take a look. Reimbursement is also available.

It is recommended that you go to the vascular surgery department of the hospital for a visit.

Acupuncture and intravenous injections will do** varicose veins.

It's okay to wear flex socks, and Kinny's is recommended for you.

1. The diet should be kept low in salt, if the body of varicose veins contains more salt, it will lead to excessive water absorption in the body, which will lead to swelling of the calves and pressure on the blood vessels.

2. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, which is often overlooked in the prevention of varicose veins. Don't wear clothing that wraps tightly around your waist, groin, or thighs.

3. If you already have varicose veins in your legs, then remember to wear elastic socks when you need to stand for a long time.

4. When sitting, don't sit cross-legged.

5. Change the center of gravity of standing from time to time when standing, which is very good for the prevention of varicose veins.

6. When resting, lift your legs above the height of your heart. This helps blood flow back to the heart in the legs.

7. Pay attention to maintaining your weight and don't add extra pressure to your veins.

8. Exercise regularly, especially for frequent walks. This can exercise the strength of the legs, increase the blood circulation in the legs, and strengthen the blood vessels in the legs, which is very important for the prevention of varicose veins.

** Methods of varicose veins of the lower extremities:

Varicose veins should be examined by vascular surgery. Many varicose veins patients lack awareness of the disease and delay the condition, varicose veins are chronic vascular diseases, patients should go to the hospital in time to confirm the condition of vascular surgery when they find that they have symptoms of soreness and pain in the lower legs, and accompanied by obvious or even protruding green tendons, so as to ensure that their health is not further damaged.

1. Strengthen exercise: walking, jogging, cycling, and swimming are all good ways to strengthen muscles, reduce fat and cultivate endurance, and people with varicose veins can also benefit from these exercises, and the best and easiest way is to insist on walking, 15 minutes each time, 4 times a day.

2. Light diet: In terms of diet, pay attention to eating less high-fat, high-sugar and high-salt foods to avoid harming the veins.

3. Elevate the legs: When standing workers are resting at work, they should take off their shoes, raise their feet, and their feet should be more than 30 cm higher than their hearts. When you return home after a long walk, you should also elevate your feet for 15 minutes to relieve the pressure of blood on the blood vessels in your lower limbs.

1. If your work requires you to sit or stand for long periods of time, you can do leg stretches every once in a while, such as raising your feet and then lowering them, or taking a small walk if you have the opportunity. This is one of the ways to prevent varicose veins.

2: Patients can wear that kind of elastic stockings every day for an hour of leg exercise, which can not only prevent leg edema, but also slim the legs. Such as walking, brisk walking, cycling, running or treadmill, etc., to avoid the occurrence of varicose veins.

Three: The patient takes some time out every day to do some leg elevation exercises, such as lying down, then raising the leg above the heart position, and then maintaining the knee flexion, which can promote leg venous circulation.

Four: You should also pay attention to your weight not to be too heavy, because being overweight often increases the burden on the meridians of the legs, which is not conducive to varicose veins.

5. Patients should try not to lift heavy objects except for work, such as heavy objects exceeding 10 kg.

Some people in life find themselves with varicose veins of the lower limbs, varicose veins of the lower limbs can be clearly seen in the legs with convex tendons, and the occurrence of this phenomenon is related to varicose veins. To effectively remove varicose veins and maintain the health of the veins, the most important thing is to take reasonable measures. This keeps the venous system normal, the blood flows in a timely manner, and of course improves the expression of varicose veins.

So what to do about varicose veins in the lower body?

Appropriate exercise can be improved, and when varicose veins of the lower limbs appear, they can be relieved by exercise. Many people's varicose veins of the lower limbs are mainly related to long-term non-sitting, if you do not stilt your legs or exercise, the blood circulation of the lower limbs is easily obstructed, and some blood can not flow in time, which may lead to varicose veins of the lower limbs.

To improve this, it is possible to improve the circulation of the body by raising the legs or by simple exercises of the limbs, with good local circulation, timely blood flow and, of course, the phenomenon of varicose veins. This is a necessary step to maintain good health. Massage the lower body properly, realize that your varicose veins are obvious, you can usually massage your legs more, and improve local blood circulation through massage, which is a more effective form.

Many people are usually overworked, and standing for a long time can lead to varicose veins. If local blood circulation can be improved through massage, blood can flow in time after vascular communication, improving the expression of varicose veins. Therefore, if you find that you have varicose veins, you can improve local blood circulation by massaging and relax your muscles at the same time, and varicose veins will naturally get better.

Use compression stockings.

Frequent manifestations of varicose veins can be relieved by wearing compression stockings. Whether it is mild varicose veins or moderate varicose veins, they can be improved with compression stockings, which can help reduce the appearance of vein dilation, help improve varicose veins, and prevent venous blood vessels from being affected. If the condition is more severe, it is best to go to the hospital first and cooperate with the doctor to assist in improvement and prevent the condition of varicose veins from becoming serious.

From the above content, it can be seen that when varicose veins appear in the lower limbs, they should be improved in a reasonable way, exercise more often, massage the body if necessary, wear elastic stockings, etc., to relieve varicose veins and prevent serious physical injuries caused by varicose veins. If none of the above methods improve, it is best to seek medical attention promptly.

Severe varicose veins of the lower extremities require surgery**. Not all patients can be operated, if the patient has local inflammation or infection is not operable, this situation should be selected according to the patient's physical condition**plan, if not surgery**, can be injected with sclerosing agents and drugs**, or take compression stockings to assist**.

You should go to the hospital immediately**, because you don't know if it's early or late, if it's early, it's not very serious and you can get it**, but if it's at a later stage, you may want to consider surgery.

1.Traditional surgeries, such as saphenous varicose veins, are characterized by high ligation and exfoliation. 2.Minimally invasive** such as hardener, laser closure, radiofrequency ablation, cold light source translucent rotary cutting, electrocoagulation, chiva, etc.

The specific ** of varicose veins of the lower extremities is related to the cause, nature, and especially severity. If it is mild, try to be conservative**, consider that it is caused by occupational diseases, including doctors and teachers who sit for a long time and stand for a long time, the problem is not big, actively pay attention to and control, and improve bad habits. Don't smoke, drink alcohol, and wear compression stockings if necessary can help with recovery.

If the guarantee is not good, it will be observed and controlled, and if it is moderate to severe, especially with complications, and the ulceration is earthworm-like, surgical intervention is still required as soon as possible.

In daily life, varicose veins affect the normal life of patients, patients often feel soreness, itching, edema and pain in the affected limbs, and at the same time, they will be accompanied by cold limbs, hot flashes in the limbs, and a feeling of itching and numbness. All of the above are overt phenomena of varicose veins. Varicose veins are mainly caused by venous valve defects and increased intravascular pressure in superficial veins.

**There are congenital factors and acquired factors. Causes of varicose veins of the lower extremities: Structural defects in the vein wall:

Long-term venous dilation can cause disuse atrophy of the valve, or even gradual degeneration and disappearance, if the valve defect precedes varicose veins, then the valve will be destroyed at the same time as the venous wall will be affected, and venous bruising can also be secondary to varicose veins or dilation.

Sedentary and long-term standing: the vein wall is relatively weak, and it can be dilatated under the action of venous compression, and the dilation of the valve sinus leads to the inability of the original venous valve to close tightly, resulting in relatively incomplete valve function and blood reflux. Hypoplasia or absence of valves, as well as ineffective prevention of reflux, lead to morbidity.

Pregnancy: At present, about 20% of pregnant women will have varicose veins during pregnancy, because the changes in estrogen levels in the body during pregnancy relax the vein smooth muscles, contributing to valve insufficiency. A series of complications can occur in the later stages of varicose veins, such as phlebitis, bleeding, ulcers, edema, etc.

Bleeding is due to the area through which the varicose veins pass and is very fragile due to nutritional deficiencies. If you are not careful, it can easily lead to the rupture of varicose veins and cause massive bleeding. Because bleeding is often absent from other symptoms such as pain, patients often go unnoticed, and if it occurs at night while sleeping, it can have very serious consequences.

The most serious consequence of varicose veins is that varicose veins cause **nutritional changes that lead to ulcers! This ulcer can last for a long time, and in severe cases, it can lead to amputation! Regret for life!

There are three categories of varicose veins of the lower limbs: support, varicose vein sclerosis and surgery.

So far, there are no medications that are effective in ** varicose veins of the lower extremities. Wearing medical elastic stockings is one of the supports, it is easy to operate, the patient is not traumatic and painful in the process, and it is widely used. However, it is necessary to choose compliant medical elastic stockings, and Shuermei varicose vein socks are recommended to compress blood vessels by contracting the calf muscles, promote venous blood return to the heart, prevent venous congestion of the lower limbs, and ensure good circulation of venous blood in the lower limbs.

Wearing medical varicose vein compression stockings is the most effective and convenient way to have varicose veins in the lower limbsSpecifically, you can take a look.

Varicose veins of the lower extremities are a common condition, especially in people who perform prolonged physical labor or work on standing. It is mainly manifested as dilation, elongation and tortuosity of the saphenous vein of the lower limbs, resulting in symptoms such as soreness, fatigue and heaviness of the affected limbs, and in severe cases, it is often accompanied by complications such as calf ulcer or superficial phlebitis.

Patients can choose different types according to the degree of varicose veins.

1. Patients with only small subcutaneous blood vessels can also be tried conservatively, such as changing lifestyle, reducing sedentary and standing for a long time, strengthening physical exercise, wearing varicose vein elastic stockings, etc., to delay the progression of the disease.

2. For some patients with mild varicose veins, such as only vascular tortuousness, no obvious dilation, and no obvious discomfort, patients can directly use the first method of fine needle injection foam sclerosing agent to close the dilated varicose veins, which has long been widely used in clinical practice, safe and effective, and has a good effect for patients with mild symptoms in the early stage, and also avoids the risk of scarring after variceal vein peeling surgery, and the cost is low, and it can be accepted in the outpatient clinic without hospitalization.

3. For patients with moderate varicose veins, such as saphenous vein valve insufficiency, saphenous vein dilation, lower limb blood vessels tortuous and protruding like earthworms, and lower limb soreness and ulcer formation, etc., radiofrequency or ablation can be used in a minimally invasive way, that is, by puncturing the dilated saphenous vein, the head heat catheter is sent to the varicose vein, and then the varicose vein is closed by means of fever, microwave emission and laser emission, the surgical principle is the same as that of traditional surgery, aiming to close the varicose vein. The advantages are that only local anesthesia surgery is required, the trauma is small, there are no obvious surgical marks, the postoperative recovery is fast, and the postoperative can get out of bed and walk.

Varicose veins are generally caused by the abnormality of the venous valves of the blood vessels in the legs, so that the venous blood that originally returned to the heart cannot return to the heart regularly due to the effect of gravity, and this disease is generally caused by acquired factors, such as standing for a long time or doing overworked work. It is also possible that it is inherited.

Varicose veins of both lower extremities refer to common diseases in which the superficial veins of the lower limbs (great saphenous vein and small saphenous vein) are dilated, tortuous, and exposed alone or at the same time; There is a clear genetic predisposition to this disease, and it is more common in people who stand for a long time or bear weight for a long time; Early manifestations: soreness and discomfort in the lower limbs, heaviness in the limbs, fatigue, pain in some patients, and later manifestations: thickening, loss of luster, hair loss, and even eczema and ulcers; It can be conservative** or surgical**, conservative** includes wearing compression stockings, self-care, etc., suitable for the elderly and pregnant women; Surgery** is performed through conventional surgery or minimally invasive surgery**.

Calf edema is caused by poor blood circulation in the lower limbs, and frequent standing can easily lead to edema and varicose veins.

There are two possibilities for varicose veins with swollen legs:

1. Patients with deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins sometimes have superficial vein thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis, both of which may cause edema, and if there is thrombosis in the deep veins, it may lead to pulmonary embolism and even life-threatening, so color ultrasound examination should be carried out as soon as possible.

2. Edema caused by varicose veins themselves, this edema usually has a slow onset, due to the limited function of the valve, so reflux will lead to increased intravenous pressure at the distal end, and the fluid in the veins will leak out, which will cause edema when it penetrates into the tissue space, which can be diagnosed as the third stage of varicose veins, once this situation occurs, according to the 2019 guidelines for chronic venous diseases of the lower limbs in China, surgery is highly recommended.
