Objective To analyze the role of traditional Chinese medicine bathing and enhanced rehabilitation training in the postoperative treatment of patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities. Methods Sixty patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities were selected as the research samples from July 2024 to July 2025. They were divided into the control group and the study group under the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received enhanced rehabilitation training, while the study group received traditional Chinese medicine bath and enhanced rehabilitation training. Based on the different intervention methods of the two groups, the data were analyzed to compare the differences in clinical indicators such as lower extremity swelling rate, pain score, self-efficacy score, venous severity, lower extremity circumference and quality of life score between the two groups. Results The incidence of lower extremity swelling in the study group after surgery was low (P<0.05). The pain score of the study group from 5 to 12 days after surgery was low (P<0.05), the self-efficacy score was high (P<0.05), the scores of venous severity were low (P<0.05), and the improvement of quality of life was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application effect of traditional Chinese medicine bathing and enhanced rehabilitation training after varicose veins of the lower extremities is good. It can reduce the incidence of lower extremity swelling and relieve pain, and is worthy of use.
