When listening to the diagnosis of "varicose veins of the lower extremities", we usually imagine the legs that are distorted by the blue veins that fall under the skin.But these signs are characteristic of the advanced varicose veins of the superficial veins.By defeating deep vessels, the expansion of varicose veins has long been in a hidden form.Domestic varicose veins are not visually seen in the first stage of the disease, but according to statistics, every third person living in developed countries in the world who experiences 40 years of age and older.
