Abstract:
Background:Varicose veins, or chronic venous insufficiency, become visibly
noticeable from the second stage when veins start appearing on the surface
of the skin. Symptoms include severe itching, pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a common condition in countries such as
China, South Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. Diagnosis of varicose
veins relies on blood flow studies, coagulation tests, contrast-enhanced magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), and Doppler ultrasound of the venous system.
Patient B, a 43-year-old male, has experienced pain and swelling in the right
lower limb vein for the past two years, especially when exposed to heat. Coagulation
tests show PT and PT INR within normal range. Doppler ultrasound
of the venous system revealed that the perforating vein is dilated to 0.45 cm
and has valve insufficiency. In the deep veins, a width of 0.68 cm was measured,
while superficial veins ranged between 0.46–0.59 cm. After receiving
appropriate treatment from the Department of Fire Acupuncture, the patient’s
symptoms have improved.
