Say Goodbye to "Spider Veins": One-Stop Comprehensive Treatment Plan for Lower Extremity Varicose Veins
Lower extremity varicose veins, commonly known as "spider veins," are a common vascular condition. They not only affect appearance but also cause symptoms like leg swelling, pain, and itching; in severe cases, they can lead to skin discoloration, ulcers, and blood clots. Patients often wonder: Should I take medication, wear compression stockings, or undergo surgery? Which option is best?
To address this, we offer the "One-Stop Personalized Treatment Plan for Lower Extremity Varicose Veins"—integrating precise diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, professional rehabilitation, and long-term management. Our goal is to provide every patient with the most scientific, effective, and comfortable medical experience.
The first step in treatment is a comprehensive assessment. We use an internationally advanced "gold-standard" diagnostic combination:
Color Doppler Ultrasound: Non-invasive and radiation-free. It’s like a "vascular B-scan," which clearly shows:
Venous Valve Function: Accurately determines the location and severity of blood reflux.
Vessel Diameter and Morphology: Reveals the distribution and specific status of varicose vessels.
Presence of Blood Clots: Rules out dangerous conditions like deep vein thrombosis.
This test is the core basis for formulating all treatment plans.
Clinical Classification Assessment (CEAP Classification)
Doctors perform professional visual and tactile examinations to grade the condition (from C0 to C6) according to international standards. This is a key foundation for selecting treatment methods.
Further Tests (When Necessary)
For complex cases, more in-depth examination methods such as CT venography or intravascular ultrasound may be used.
Based on precise diagnostic results, we offer a range of treatment options from basic to advanced, and "tailor" the optimal combination for each patient.
Basic Conservative Treatment (Suitable for all patients/mild cases)
Medical Compression Stockings: A core method to provide external support, alleviate symptoms, and slow progression. Doctors will precisely recommend the pressure level and size based on your condition.
Lifestyle Interventions: Guidance on avoiding prolonged sitting/standing, elevating legs, moderate exercise (e.g., swimming, brisk walking), and weight control.
Medication: Venotonics (e.g., Diosmin, Horse Chestnut Extract) to relieve edema, swelling, and other symptoms.
Modern Minimally Invasive Interventional Treatments (Current mainstream, suitable for most moderate-severe cases)
Thermal Ablation Occlusion:
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) & Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Similar in principle. A tiny fiber or catheter is inserted into the diseased vein, and thermal energy is used to close and shrink it. The procedure only requires local anesthesia, uses a needle puncture, allows immediate ambulation after surgery, and leaves almost no scarring.
Chemical Ablation Occlusion:
VenaSeal (Venous Adhesive Closure): Uses a specialized medical adhesive to close the great saphenous vein. No anesthesia is needed, there’s no risk of thermal injury, and no compression stockings are required post-procedure for a better experience.
Foam Sclerotherapy: A custom foam agent is injected into varicose veins to make them adhere and close. It’s especially suitable for reticular and spider varicose veins, and serves as a supplement to other treatments.
Same-Day Treatment: Efficient and Convenient
Most minimally invasive treatments are performed in the day surgery unit. The entire process—from admission and surgery to discharge—typically takes just a few hours, with no need for extended hospitalization.
Walk Out Immediately Post-Surgery: Fast Recovery
Patients are encouraged to get out of bed and walk right after surgery to promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. The vast majority of patients can resume normal work and daily life the next day.
Professional Rehabilitation Guidance
We provide detailed post-operative instructions, including guidance on compression stocking wear duration, activity recommendations, and follow-up plans, to ensure the best recovery outcomes.
Long-Term Health Management
We establish personal health records and conduct regular follow-ups (e.g., ultrasound rechecks at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year post-surgery). We also offer lifelong health consultations to prevent recurrence.
