Hello doctor! I have deep vein insufficiency in right leg and superficial venous insufficiency in both legs. The doctor ordered me to burn the great saphenous vein with RFA. But insurance does not cover this item. I don't have enough money. So if I don't have treatment, can I just exercise regularly and have acupuncture? Please advise, thank you!

Hi, thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System, with your question, I would like to answer as follows: Venous insufficiency of the legs is a condition in which the leg veins are damaged. weakened and no longer has the function of retaining blood and helping blood to move easily to the heart, leading to blood pooling in the legs (due to the effect of force), causing leg swelling in the afternoon, swollen veins, pain legs, severe can have foot ulcers. When exercising, the muscles in the legs contract to help push blood from the legs to the heart. So this is what you should do. Wish you healthy!
