According to the location and severity of varicose veins, there are three treatments. Include supportive therapy, varicose sclerosis therapy and surgical treatment. So far, there is no drug that can completely cure varicose veins of lower limbs. Wearing medical sequential decompression elastic socks is the most effective method in supportive therapy;

1, compression therapy (supportive therapy): wear elastic socks or bandage compression to reduce venous reflux and congestion. Medical sequential decompression elastic socks are a product with the function of promoting venous blood of lower limbs to return to the heart. Medical sequential decompression elastic socks establish the highest support pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease along the leg. It is reduced to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure of calf and 25%-45% of the maximum pressure of thigh. This gradual change of pressure can make the venous blood of lower limbs return, and effectively relieve or improve the pressure of veins and venous valves of lower limbs. The best time to wear sequential decompression elastic socks is when you get up in the morning, because the blood circulation is the most smooth at this time, and you don't wear elastic socks for 5- 10 minutes before you start to reduce swelling or lift your legs. This action can prevent blood from flowing back, especially for people who stand for a long time.

2, sclerosing agent treatment: inject sclerosing agent into vein, destroy endothelial cells, cause vasospasm, inflammatory reaction and form thrombosis and fibrosis, so as to eliminate varicose veins. It is most suitable for venule dilatation. Side effects include allergy, local pain, skin necrosis and pigmentation. Inadvertently pumping sclerosing agent into artery will lead to limb necrosis and amputation.

3. Surgical treatment: The purpose is to remove varicose veins. Surgical methods include high ligation of great saphenous vein, vein stripping, perforated vein ligation or simple vein resection.

Not all varicose veins need surgical resection, and the deep veins must be unobstructed before operation. The following patients can be treated surgically:

Symptoms such as acid swelling are serious and unbearable.

Recurrent thrombophlebitis. Blood vessel rupture and bleeding.

Blood stasis causes complications such as dermatitis and ulcer.

In the short term after operation, it is still necessary to wrap it with elastic bandages or wear elastic socks. Postoperative varicose veins still have the possibility of recurrence. Therefore, people who are prone to varicose veins should pay attention to prevention, that is, avoid standing for a long time or sitting for a long time (if it is inevitable, you can wear elastic socks) and have appropriate exercise.
