Varicose veins are a common disease. It is easy to see some people with "green veins" on their legs in the summer. This type of disease in which the blood vessels are swollen and colored in the leg is varicose veins. Usually people do not know enough about varicose veins. At first, many people did not pay attention until the varicose veins developed to a serious degree before they were treated by surgery. According to Wu Zhongchao, the chief physician of the National TCM and Dongcheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, under normal circumstances, people often use surgical methods to treat varicose veins, and few people think of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, patients can obtain better results by traditional methods of bleeding and acupuncture.

Longer standing can easily induce varicose veins

Varicose veins are a kind of clinical common diseases, which refer to venous buckling and expansion caused by factors such as blood stagnation and excessive venous pressure. In a broad sense, varicose veins may occur in various parts of the body, and the exposure of blood vessels to the naked eye on the skin is a category that may cause varicose veins.

Director Wu Zhongchao said that in general, if there are no adverse symptoms of varicose veins, and no adverse effects, in fact, do not need excessive treatment. The varicose veins that really need treatment are mostly concentrated on the lower limbs of the human body. Since people need to use the lower limbs to walk upright, the blood circulation of the lower limbs is relatively slow relative to the upper body, and it is more likely to cause blood stasis, thereby making the venous pressure too large and inducing varicose veins. It is easy to see from the pathogenesis of varicose veins that prolonged standing is an important cause of varicose veins. Therefore, varicose veins are closely related to occupations and living habits, such as teachers, salespersons, surgeons, border guards, construction workers, and service personnel. And many workers who need to stand for long periods of time belong to high-risk groups with varicose veins of the lower extremities.

So how do you judge whether you have varicose veins? Director Wu Zhongchao said that from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, if a person's lower extremities began to show partial venous warping and expansion and thickening, for example, there are sickle-like objects on the skin, or there are small Snake-like objects linger on the skin, stretches and twists, color purpura; or when his lower limb began to appear soreness, fatigue, heavy, easily tired, edema of the ankle and foot, edema often occurs in the late leg, pigment Contemplating, whole legs and even wearing a pair of black boots, like scaling, itching and other symptoms, then this person is likely to suffer from varicose veins of the lower extremities, and the condition has been significantly increased. Some patients may even experience lower limb pain, intermittent claudication and other behaviors. Director Wu Zhongchao emphasized that if the varicose veins of the lower extremities are not treated in time, the blood in the legs will not circulate for a long period of time and inflammation will occur. Inflammation will result in nerve irritation, causing phlebitis, deep venous thrombosis and other inflammatory syndromes. Severe cases may even Affect the heart and other body organs, the consequences are very serious.

Treatment of varicose veins can be acupuncture therapy

For the treatment of varicose veins, Director Wu Zhongchao stated that "internal and external application" is the main treatment idea for treating varicose veins in Chinese medicine. The so-called oral administration is mainly based on taking Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction, and is combined with the use of Si Miao Tang; the so-called external application mainly uses the Astragalus Gui Zhi Wu Wu Tang to wash feet and legs. It should be noted that although "internal and external application" can delay the progression of patients, it has no cure for varicose vein diseases that have already developed.

"Patients wishing to undergo radical treatment are best treated with acupuncture." According to Wu Zhongchao, the general acupuncture therapy is divided into several different methods, such as pricking blood and fire. The so-called stabbed bloodletting, that is, in the site where the patient has varicose veins, stabbed and bleeding to help the patient remove the blood that has stagnated in the body and promote the blood circulation of the patient's leg. The principle of acupuncture and fire acupuncture is similar to that of acupuncture. However, acupuncture has the effects of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and phlegm-reducing effects. It can also help the patient to promote vasoconstriction. If the patient's condition is serious, the effect of ordinary acupuncture and sting is poor, you can choose Fire needle prick therapy. If the patient's blood vessels have not been excessively dilated (usually referring to the middle and low-income groups suffering from varicose veins), Wu Zhongchao said that skin needles can be used to puncture and seal the patient's local skin, helping the patient to close blood vessels and eliminate blood stasis. For severe patients who have experienced intermittent claudication and deep thrombosis, they need to be treated with the method of “spiking with deep fire needles and encircling fire needles” to find nodules in sites where varicose veins have already occurred. It should be noted that because each patient's individual condition is different, once the patient finds out the condition, he should immediately go to a regular hospital for immediate treatment and must not treat himself.

Prevention from varicose veins is the key

Stay away from the disease and focus on prevention. Director Wu Zhongchao said that varicose veins have a certain heredity, so if there are people with a family history of varicose veins, then he should avoid standing for long periods of time in daily life. When choosing a job, he should also choose according to his actual situation. .

For staff members who need to stand for long periods of time, Wu Zhongchao said that people should pay attention to appropriate changes in their positions and pay attention to leg interaction. Such as gas stations and other outdoor standing staff, they can stand for a while in the work for a while, often activities legs, artificially help their blood circulation in the legs; In addition, these people need to sedentary long standing can also go to A regular pharmacy purchases professional high-stocking socks that, to a certain extent, contribute to the improvement of symptoms of varicose veins.

In addition, Wu Zhongchao’s director also introduced to the public a health-keeping exercise that can be done in daily life in the middle school. Every day before going to bed and before getting out of bed, he stretched his lower limbs straight from his bed and moved his legs from the distal end to the proximal end. One leg, repeated five to seven times a day, this action can help the leg blood circulation. In addition, the use of warp beats (where the legs are raised, and where the varicose veins in the legs, where the hand is patted) can also reach the disease directly to help ease the condition. It should be noted that when using a tactical beat, do not use too much force to shoot purple skin on the legs. (Reporter Zhu Fengqi)
