What Is Vascular Surgery, and When Is It Needed? - #15202
A family member was recently advised to see a vascular surgeon, and I’m trying to understand what that means. From what I’ve read, vascular surgery deals with blood vessels, arteries, and veins, but what types of conditions require it? Are there specific symptoms that indicate someone needs vascular surgery, like poor circulation, leg pain, or swelling? What are the most common procedures a vascular surgeon performs, and are they always invasive? I also want to know if vascular issues can be managed naturally before surgery becomes necessary. Does Ayurveda offer any herbs or lifestyle changes that help improve blood circulation and vein health? I’ve heard that Gotu Kola, Guggulu, and garlic are good for vascular health—do they actually work? If anyone has experience with vascular surgery, I’d love to know how it helped and whether there were any natural remedies that worked beforehand.
