Beware of "old rotten leg" caused by varicose veins. Varicose veins are a venous system disease. The incidence rate was not high in the past, so people did not pay much attention to it. However, in recent years, with changes in working environments and living habits, the probability of getting this disease has greatly increased. Currently, about 100 million people in China suffer from varying degrees of varicose veins. Due to a lack of understanding, many people have unknowingly entered the ranks of those with varicose veins. This results in missing the best opportunity for treatment, ultimately leading to "old rotten leg." So, how do you determine if you already have "old rotten leg"?
"Old rotten leg," also called "ulcerated leg," is a complication of varicose veins or superficial phlebitis, and can also occur in deep vein thrombosis syndrome. The affected area is mostly on the lower leg. In the acute phase, the main symptoms are redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the lower leg, with cord-like nodules or large areas of lumps, all accompanied by pigmentation. Generally, the course of the disease is long, due to dry skin and scaling, gradually developing into ulcers, with the wound gradually expanding and being difficult to heal. In traditional Chinese medicine, this condition belongs to "malignant pulse," often caused by prolonged fatigue, excessive heat and dampness, and blood stasis in the meridians. But don't worry, as long as you cooperate with the doctor's treatment, it can be cured. "Old rotten leg" refers to chronic ulcers that occur on the lower third of the tibia on both sides. In literature, it is referred to as "trouser edge sore" or "skirt edge sore," and mostly occurs in patients who stand for long periods, walk under heavy loads, and have varicose veins in the lower limbs.
As the condition of lower limb varicose veins worsens, the skin of the affected limb becomes congested and oxygen-deprived, with nutritional disorders and weakened resistance. Even minor injuries are difficult to heal, eventually forming chronic ulcers on the lower leg, also known as venous ulcers, which we call "old rotten leg." The common site for "old rotten leg" usually occurs on the inner side of the lower third of the lower leg.
Therefore, patients with varicose veins should seek treatment promptly and must not delay treatment, leading to "old rotten leg" caused by varicose veins, or even amputation in the end.
