Does varicose vein always require surgery?
2024.04.30 13:19
My mother also has varicose veins, and although it doesn't look very severe, the hospital recommended that she might need surgery for her varicose veins.
Since you are elderly, I wonder if surgery is absolutely necessary... I am worried.
Someone told me that I might have varicose veins after seeing my leg, and advised me to avoid wearing high-heeled shoes as much as possible and to be careful.
This is the blood vessel behind my leg.
There are signs that the blood vessels may slightly bulge or protrude.
My mother is a bit more severe than this.
Varicose veins... I looked it up once...
Varicose veins are a progressive disease that is difficult to heal naturally, and over time, it can lead to complications such as leg swelling, calf pain, numbness, cramps, and in rare cases, complications like deep vein thrombosis.
Bumpy, bulging veins on the legs are not only unsightly but also cause various symptoms below.
▶ Calf pain that feels like a pulling sensation
▶ Cramping in the legs frequently occurs
▶ Feeling a pulling sensation in the legs and swelling easily
▶ A burning sensation and severe pain in the legs and feet
▶ Blood vessels are visible or palpable on the leg
There is a family history of varicose veins.
There is a tingling pain as if the sole of the foot is numb.
A skin disease has developed on the leg and does not heal well.
Blue or red blood vessels are visible to the naked eye on the leg.
The feet and legs feel cold and numb, as if suffering from cold extremities.
Even just walking a little or standing causes easy leg fatigue.
Many of these items also apply to my mother.
Even I, who am in my mid-40s, have started to experience a few of these symptoms lately.
How much further does varicose vein progression need to go before surgery is better, or is it okay to undergo the procedure once the symptoms become uncomfortable?
I'm wondering if varicose vein surgery is really necessary and at what stage I should decide to proceed with it.
