Hello doctor,
My mother is 56 years old this year, her legs have varicose veins. Currently, my mother's leg is numb, the tendon is swollen into a lump. My mother has been taking medicine for a whole month and it has helped a little bit, I don't know if my mother will get better if she takes medicine like that? Ask your doctor if you should take medicine to treat varicose veins?

Hello,
With the question “Should I use drugs to treat varicose veins? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to provide information about what is the name of the medicine your mother is taking so that the doctor can advise on the effectiveness of the drug. Venous insufficiency needs to be confirmed by clinical and intravenous DOPPLER ultrasound and the correct medication and dose can be stabilized. The combination of symptoms of bone tendon numbness at the age of your mother requires additional testing of bone density, whether there is osteoporosis or not to use the combination drug. Your mother's disease is a chronic disease that can recur, so you need to monitor and periodically see a specialist.
If you still have questions about varicose veins, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
