varicose veins

Varicose veins are incurable regardless of the method of treatment. Veins that appear normal at the time of the initial treatment may later become varicose, but these are not true recurrences. Treatment is primarily to relieve symptoms and manage complications. Patients with asymptomatic varicosities often seek cosmetic treatment.
Lightweight compression hosiery for small, mildly symptomatic varicose veins is helpful and often adequate. Heavier elastic (support) stockings, knee-length or thigh-length, may be worn by patients with advanced varicose veins who prefer not to have active therapy or in whom active therapy is contraindicated. Elastic-crepe bandages are not advocated because patients may wrap them too tightly, especially at the calf area, producing a tourniquet effect; even if correctly applied, these bandages rapidly loosen and become ineffectual.

Injection therapy can treat virtually all varices. In experienced hands, injection therapy with compression and appropriate aftercare gives excellent results and requires no hospitalization.
Injection therapy has few complications. Allergic reactions are rare.Deep vein thrombosis with embolism is rare.Patients should be advised that brown pigmentation of the skin may occur; it usually fades but may be permanent.
Commonly cited indications for surgery include pain, recurrent thrombophlebitis, skin changes, and cosmetic reasons.

Varicose vein surgery is removal tortuous veins of the leg, it is a simple general surgery and effective after failed conservative treatment.

我老婆也是左腿的静脉曲张。医生的建议是不是很严重就要早发现早开始穿袜子。当时这个袜子是在上海中山医院买的。貌似是法国进口的。从04年穿到现在了。穿的效果不错。只要穿着的话就不会站着感觉腿肿了。只是刚开始穿不是很习惯,时间长了就好了。在澳洲当地配药的地方只看到一些保健功能的紧腿的袜子,只能起到预防作用。并不是针对静脉曲张有治疗作用的,治疗作用的袜子一般都会标明有多少压强什么的。
一般西医也认为程度不是很严重的静脉曲张,都可以用穿这个袜子来控制。除非是到最后实在很严重,那就可以开刀。否则就一直穿袜子了

xiongniu的很完整,我们医院动这种手术的,第二天就回家了,刀口很小的,缝合也很漂亮,来了这边还是很赞这里的医疗水平的.

原来是医生tz,赞一下

再次谢谢楼上诸位tx。国内好象也是这么治疗的:要么就穿那个袜子,再注射些什么药,能缓解症状,不过还是有些痛的,而且一旦不穿袜子很容易就复发了;要么就是手术,因为病人年纪大了,一直想着最好能少挨这刀,所以就一直没做。
请教hy841医生以及其它知道的tx,这里的此类手术治疗水平确实比国内高吗?大概的费用需要多少?
评论
It's a simple procedure, no big difference. If you stay in public hospital, everything if free of charge - totally free and free meals as well.

呵呵,谢谢楼上!因为病人是从国内来探亲的,在这里没有医疗保险,更别说medicare了,所以我才会问费用的问题。一般人都觉得国外的医疗水平比国内高,不过说实话,我这样不懂行的搞不清楚具体高在哪里。如果在这里对此情况的治疗或者手术水平确实比国内好,那就在这儿顺便把手术做了;如果国内外其实水平差不多,那还是回国后做好些,毕竟跟医生的交流以及手术后的生活照顾方面会方便些。

说实话,这里的仪器阿设备阿是比国内好,但医疗水平的话就不一定了,也许治疗方法挺先进的,但医疗经验尤其非疑难杂症肯定是不及国内的。 看看整个澳洲人口就知道了。
评论
恩,恩,没错。不过国内大城市医院的设备‘一点不比这里差,还有可能比这里好。再加上国内的医生见过的病人,比这里的医生见过的“人”都多,因此有什么疑难杂症还是回过去看好了,北京上海这些大城市都没问题
评论
Better go back to China to do the operation, the cost is huge if do not have medicare. And even if you have medicare, the waiting period will be be 6-12 month at least.
评论
谢谢各位tx热心回答,看来还是回去治疗更好些,也更现实些了——普通的探亲签证也不可能等上个一年半载的
