But one way or another, for all that were performed in varicose veins, there are general recommendations.
And since, after the operation to remove the varicose veins in the legs, many questions usually arise about what and when possible and what is impossible, in our article, we will talk about it.
Restoration or rehabilitation after operation to remove the veins includes a set of measures that will be directed to maximum confrontation between thrombosis and normalization of blood circulation.When the veins affected by the pathology are already excluded from blood flow, the condition of the operated will improve daily.After all, varicose veins are no longer progressing.To contribute to the patient's quick return to the patient's usual lifestyle, strict observance of all recommendations of the doctor in the post -operative period is required.What can and cannot be done after operation to eliminate varicose veins from the lower extremities.

Veins and operation varicose veins: "pros and cons"
Obviously, are there always doubts about whether surgery is required for varicose veins?But to consider independently the surgical treatment of the varicose veins of the lower extremities in the context of "in favor or against" it is not worth it.Only a doctor, having studied the history of the patient's disease, collecting an anamnesis of the disease, having become familiar with the results of the corresponding tests and studies, can definitely answer the question of whether and why the operation is for varicose veins?
The causes of doubts may be in the same prevalence as the disease.After all, an expert will never give a 100% guarantee of the pathology healing.The risk of relapse of the disease will persist all life.
Expert opinion
Some surgical manipulations give a more persistent and long effect, some less.Everything is individual.Remember that doing the operation is just one of the first steps on the way of healing.To prevent varicose veins from being progressed, a person needs to make daily efforts to do so.And far from always, patients consciously perform all recommendations received from the doctor after the operation and, therefore, the varicose veins are recurrent.
