How does varicose veins in legs cause pulmonary embolism?
First, there are no obvious symptoms of varicose veins in the early stage. Common lower limbs are heavy, sore, weak and prone to fatigue. Lying flat and raising your legs can alleviate it, but many people don't pay attention to it during this period, thinking that they are tired and will not take any measures to prevent it;

Second, varicose veins in the early stage of development, the superficial veins of the calf gradually swell and expand, and sometimes they can be curled into spheres or sacs, especially after standing, and disappear after lifting the legs. The sudden increase of subcutaneous capillaries in women is more obvious. Leg pain is obvious, and wearing elastic socks can also effectively relieve symptoms. If we still don't pay attention to it, it will develop rapidly to the middle stage;

Third, until the middle stage, the course of the disease is old, and the skin at the lower end of the calf and ankle has pigmentation, itching and eczema. Some patients may be complicated with thrombophlebitis, and the local symptoms are redness, swelling, hardness and tenderness. At this time, the symptoms will already affect your life, and you are struggling. Maybe the doctor will let you have an operation, but you don't want to, and you have tried many other methods, but the effect is not good. If you don't pay attention to the choice, it will further delay the treatment.

Fourth, varicose veins are prone to injury and bleeding, or infection to form ulcers. In the end, it can only be treated by surgery. Trauma is big, recovery is difficult, and recurrence cannot be suppressed. If you don't pay attention to maintenance, something more serious may happen.
