VARICOSE VEINS AND REPEATED VARICOSE ULCERS
|
|
Further varicosity of long duration with repeated
varicose ulcers superadded with infection does lead
to oedema of the legs. Similarly diabetic ulcers
with repeated infection and breakdown created the
same problem.
Irrespective of
the cause of oedema - the continuous use of pressure
therapy is mandatory in keeping the oedema under
check.
The application of elastocrepe bandage if not
done properly can either lead to over pressure leading
to distal oedema or inadequate pressure, which will
be of no usage. Hence the pressure stockings are
the answer for such cases. |
