About me

From 1988 to 1995, I studied at Beijing Medical University under the guidance of Professor Yan Zhongyu and Professor Li Tong, renowned experts in general surgery. I graduated with a master's degree in clinical surgery. From August 1995 to March 2001, I worked at the First Clinical Hospital of Beijing Medical University (Peking University First Hospital) in general surgery. In 2000, I studied peripheral vascular diseases under the mentorship of Professor Wu Qinghua, Professor Wang Weiliang, and Professor Huang Dexiang, renowned vascular surgery experts. From January to April 2001, I was responsible for vascular surgery at Peking University First Hospital. In April 2001, I transferred to Peking University People's Hospital and was one of the founding members of the vascular surgery department.

What happens if varicose veins worsen?

Varicose veins, when they worsen, can lead to changes in the skin, including thickening of the skin which feels woody to the touch. Additionally, the skin may exhibit pigmentation that can be severe enough to resemble the black color of a belt. More seriously, ulcers can develop, typically near the inner ankle, though they occasionally appear in other locations. These ulcers are referred to medically as “boot ulcers” and are commonly known among the general population as “continuous sore legs.” In extreme cases, these ulcers may persist for many years without healing and could potentially become malignant.
