Can acupuncture treat leg varicose veins?

Strictly speaking, acupuncture is not helpful for varicose veins, which means acupuncture cannot treat varicose veins. Because when the venous reflux load of varicose veins is relatively large, the vascular structure changes, that is, the vascular wall becomes thinner and varicose veins appear on the skin surface, which may be more related to bloodletting. This is a very old so-called therapy. But it doesn't have much effect on varicose veins, because the pressure load always exists. Even through bloodletting, puncture and acupuncture, varicose blood vessels may become smaller, but they are often temporary, so before long, blood vessels without varicose veins will become varicose, and the pressure should not be solved at all. In addition, the skin nutritional status of varicose veins itself is very poor. If acupuncture disinfection is not thorough, it is easy to increase bleeding and increase the risk of infection, so such patients must be cautious and it is not recommended that patients with varicose veins receive acupuncture treatment.
