Does varicose vein need surgery?
If the varicose veins are not serious, there is no need to take surgical treatment;

General therapy: avoid standing for a long time, and raise the affected limb to rest when sleeping and sitting, which can reduce congestion and pain. Patients with ulcers should stay in bed. Applying elastic bandage or wearing elastic socks can promote venous return. A diet rich in protein and vitamin C helps to heal ulcers.

Surgery: The surgical stripping therapy for varicose veins in the leg is painful and expensive, leaving scars and complications, which is unacceptable to patients.

Physical therapy: Ulcer wounds can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays, He-Ne laser or low-dose X-rays to promote healing.
