Traditional Chinese medicine believes that varicose veins are caused by the downward rush of dampness, internal resistance of blood stasis, the struggle between dampness and blood stasis, and the loss of heat. Light foods such as loofah, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, radish, etc. should be given for clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Avoid spicy food, such as mutton, dog meat, fish, shrimp, pepper, garlic, etc. And should keep the stool unobstructed.

Doing vascular exercise can enhance the tension of venous blood vessels and reduce the recurrence of varicose veins after operation. Specific methods: The patient takes a sitting position, straightens his lower limbs, and slaps the affected limb repeatedly with both hands from bottom to top.
