The "earthworm legs" that are delayed are afraid of three serious consequences

The weather is gradually getting hot, and many people will find that the legs are exposed or protruding blood vessels. This is commonly known as "earthworm legs". Obvious symptoms of discomfort, many people choose to ignore it, but in fact, there is a large hidden health hazard. Aunt Mai (pseudonym), 67, almost caused fatal consequences due to the delayed "earthworm legs".

More than thirty years ago, Aunt Mai's legs had symptoms of varicose veins. Due to long -term standing work, the leg blood vessels were significantly tortuous, but it did not affect the normal walking function except affecting the appearance. It's not serious. "

As I grow older, Aunt Mai feels that the veins on the right legs are getting more and more obvious. When walking for a long time, there will be a feeling of sinking. She can relieve it for a while. Old "natural phenomenon".

However, a week ago, Aunt Mai felt that the skin of the thigh with varicose veins was red, swollen, and stiff, and even could not sleep at night. What is the cause of "old illness"? Aunt Mai made an appointment for the outpatient number of Professor Wang Haiyang, the first hospital affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University on WeChat.

Professor Wang Haiyang asked the history of Aunt Mai carefully and gave her an arterial angiography check. It was found that she was not only a serious venous song, but also formed an acute thrombosis.

"We see the patient's horizontal vein's main trunk expansion, and there are echo groups, which shows that there are fresh blood thrombus. If the control is not well controlled, it is easy to spread. Once it falls off, it will form a fatal pulmonary embolism." Professor Wang Haiyang Professor Wang Haiyang will It is explained that the long -term varicose veins are not regulated, which will lead to three serious consequences: skin ulcers, vasculitis, and thrombosis. "It may be a minor illness.

Hearing that Professor Wang Haiyang said so, Aunt Mai was startled. He originally thought that the "earthworm leg" was ugly. I didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Many elderly people think that varicose veins are not much incident, including in the process of carrying out free screening, we also found that many elderly people have venous songs with surgical indications, but they dare not come when they are heard." Wang Wang. "Wang Wang." Professor marine pointed out that early venous songs did not have a particularly obvious discomfort, but early intervention, including wearing elastic socks and rational exercise, can play a certain effect of preventing worsening diseases. If you have reached clinical grading C3 or higher, surgical treatment is recommended.

If the intravenous song is not treated in a timely and reliable treatment in the early stage, some complications will appear longer. For example, itchy skin, skin pigmentation, and eczema occur, and the phenomenon of venous thrombosis, ulcer, and rupture of bleeding.

"Like this patient, it has not been intervened for more than thirty years, and the symptoms of pain occurred the early warning signal issued by the body. We found that the position of the thrombus was higher and close to the deep vein. It can be said that falling off is a momentary thing. "

Professor Wang Haiyang said that if the patient is massaging massage without knowing at this time, or if you urinate or cough severely, the thrombus may fall off. Wait for bad consequences. "

Originally, if early treatment, you can use the radio frequency discharge or dot -matrix surgery of the underworld, and give a certain amount of radio frequency, microwave or laser burning the endometrium to the endometrium of the pedestrian venous catheter or guidance. Sterile closed and fast recovery after surgery. Patients can go down immediately. Without obvious complications, the day surgery effect of "24 hours in and out of hospital" will not affect normal work and life.

"Due to the serious condition of the patient, a lot of thrombosis has been formed, and the area of ​​local redness and swelling is large, and the incision is several times larger than the ordinary venous song surgery." Dr. Yao Ye who participated in the operation lamented that if you came over early for treatment, this would not be the case. Complex, trauma will be smaller. "It may be possible to be discharged the next day, and now I have to stay a few days to wait for the stable condition to leave."

Professor Wang Haiyang reminded that the surface of the varicose veins is a beautiful issue, but there is actually a lot of risks. Early discovery, early diagnosis, and early treatment are the degree of effective prevention of varicose veins.

"And from the superficial Chinese medicine, it is recommended that the elderly over 65 years old, or middle -aged and elderly friends who have problems such as smoking, diabetes, hypertension, hypertrophic alcohol, obesity, and veinitis, as well as people who are engaged in physical labor, long -standing standing, etc. Regular blood vessel screening to see if there are varicose veins. Even if it is at the degree of surgery, don't be afraid. Now the technology is very mature, safe, and recovered quickly. Often a small surgery can solve the problem of fatal problems. "
