How long should I rest after varicose leg surgery?

Varicose veins are minor operations. Generally speaking, traditional surgical treatment needs preoperative examination, diagnosis, surgical plan confirmation, operation, postoperative care and other steps. Generally speaking, the hospitalization time is about 7- 10 days, and bed rest is needed for 3-7 days after operation. In order to prevent venous thrombosis of lower limbs, the lower limbs should not be too high when lying in bed to promote blood circulation.

Precautions after operation:

1. Do not scrub the affected limb with a towel for 1 week after removing the bandage. Please dry it with a clean towel after taking a shower. According to the recovery, avoid strenuous exercise within 1-2 months after operation, but stick to walking exercise to avoid standing and sedentary for a long time.

2. After removing the bandage, most patients' skin can see flaky bruise, which belongs to postoperative subcutaneous hematoma. Obesity is more common, and gradually absorbs and subsides in about 2 weeks. A few patients have blisters on their skin, which can be cured in a few days.

At present, most hospitals use minimally invasive surgery, and patients can go to the fields after 6 hours. It also recovered quickly. A week is usually enough.
