How to treat varicose veins of lower limbs?
There are four treatments for varicose veins of lower limbs: compression therapy, varicose sclerosis therapy and surgical treatment.

Compression therapy: medical elastic socks are used, and the highest support pressure is established at the ankle through medical sequential decompression of elastic socks, which is gradually reduced along the leg. Reduce to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure of the calf and 25%-45% of the maximum pressure of the thigh. This gradually changing pressure can make venous blood of lower limbs return, and effectively relieve or improve the pressure of veins and venous valves of lower limbs. It is best to wear elastic socks before getting up in the morning and then take them off after going to bed at night.

Sclerosing agent treatment: Inject hypertonic solution (such as high-concentration saline or sclerosing agent) into varicose veins to destroy the intima of blood vessels and make it disappear after sealing. However, it can only treat varicose veins, and severe pain, pigmentation, even inflammation, redness, ulceration and other sequelae may occur during the treatment, and it is easy to recur, and it is difficult to treat after recurrence, which is only suitable for a few patients.

Surgical removal: incision was made in groin, great saphenous vein was ligated at high position, and superficial varicose veins were stripped point by point. Need half-body or general anesthesia, hospitalization.
