Varical Values - Many people are subject to this disease, all in view of the mass of risk reasons during their lifetime. The pathological process is most often located in the legs, affecting the superficial veins, subject to progression, is able to cause serious health damage.
However, in addition to the blood vessels located near the surface, varicose veins that are deeply localized, they are usually larger. This type of pathology is capable of causing much more problems, causing more serious violations. To support disease, it is important to understand the mechanism of its development, causes, symptoms and also know the principles of treatment.
What are deep varicose veins
If we talk about varicose veins, in principle, this term in medicine denotes the disease of the veins, in which the functions of blood transport by these vessels are disturbed due to their variable severity deformation. In other words, the veins extend, expand, their walls are tuned, the work of valves located inside, etc. All this leads to the fact that blood moves worse up, going to the heart and its stagnation in the vessels occurs.
Most people represent the varicose veins of the lower ends such as the onset of individual vessels and vascular mesh near the surface of the skin. At the same time, swollen and deformed veins are clearly visible to the naked eye and performance is true if we talk purely about aesthetic manifestations.
As for deep varicose veins, or rather varicose veins, we are talking about similar violations, but now they affect venous vessels located in the thickness of muscle tissue. This means that even in the most severe stage of the pathological process, these veins will not appear on the surface.
This pathological process is dangerous not only with its confidentiality. The deep veins, including small and large berets, calf and others, are much larger. Consequently, they pass more blood, take a more significant role in a large circle of blood circulation and their damage are more severely affected by human health.
This means that with varicose veins, stagnant blood processes are much more serious. At the same time, a person can feel intense pain, greater leg fatigue, etc. But even more dangerous consequences are that, with excessively increased pressure on the veins, its very thin walls may not bear, which threatens to ruptures of the last and inner bleeding. In the case of deep veins of bleeding, depending on the degree of gravity and location, it turns out to be much more severe and dangerous than with varicose vessels.
Causes of the disease
Understanding why varicose veins develop, allow the patient if the development of the disease is not prevented, at least fights more successfully and does not pathology to progress. In general, it is worth listing not only the causes of varicose veins, but also contributing factors:
- The main reason is the constant overtension of the legs due to long term location in standing position. This is why varicose veins are considered a professional disease that usually develops in cooks, hairdressers and other people who, due to professional employment, spend most of their time in their legs and even in a static position.
- Genetics - Most doctors do not come irrationally that predisposition to the development of varicose veins is transmitted by heredity. In this case, a predisposition to the failure of the venous valves is implicit.
- Due to the fact that the predisposing factor in the development of veins varicose veins is constant excessive loads in the legs, this pathological process is highly developed in people with obesity. In addition, the higher the overweight, the greater the likelihood of disease development.
- A passive and sedentary lifestyle - the lack of regular loads in muscle structures also negatively affects the functioning of the vascular system. Even louder, the probability of varicose veins, if a person not only does not seek sports and moves little, but is most of the time.
- Pregnancy - In women in the development of varicose veins, it is due to several factors. This is an increase in leg load due to fetus growth, change in blood chemistry, but the main reason is the restructuring of the hormonal background, namely an increase in progesterone production. Similarly, varicose veins can cause prolonged intake of hormonal medications.
- Thrombosis is a disease in which platelet content increases in the blood, which increases the coagulation coagulation of the blood. This factor leads to a slowdown in blood circulation, as well as damage to blood vessels.
This is the list of the most likely causes and factors that cause the development of deep vessel expansion varicose veins from the lower extremities. However, here you can also add endocrine disorders, physical damage, and so on.
Symptoms
As mentioned earlier, the main disadvantage of the deep veins is that its development occurs unnoticed in the early stages, there are no visual signs of the disease before. Nevertheless, even the initial forms of the pathological process have certain symptoms, which is important to pay attention:
- The patient feels greater fatigue and sensations of weight on the legs that are felt mainly in the afternoon or late afternoon. It is characteristic that, after relaxation or night sleep, these signs are dispersed and do not bother until the next night, as long as the loads are on the feet during the day;
- Another alarming feature is the swelling of the legs, even the insignificant. If the legs swell at night or morning for no apparent reason, for example, in the absence of kidney pathologies, this may indicate varicose veins.
If such symptoms are found, it is very important to consult a doctor for the diagnosis. However, the initial stages of varicose veins can occur completely imperceptibly; In this case, clinical signs will already appear with the development of 2-3 stages of the disease, they can be as follows:
- In addition to fatigue and gravity, intensifying at night, patients complain of serious legs. Pain syndrome also has the ability to intensify at night, but in the posterior stages of the disease, it may be constantly present.
- Strengthening limb edema, legs can also swell continuously, while the intensity of edema is high, it is impossible to miss them.
- The defeat and deformation of the deep veins in the final stages of pathology progression are also reflected in the surface vessels, which is why venous networks appear in the legs, appear the vascular "stars". There is also a vein protrusion in the legs with intense loads.
- In addition, the skin of the lower ends acquires a bluish tone, especially in places where deep vessels are most affected.
- One of the signs of the progression of the expansion of deep vein varicose veins is the crises of the calf muscles, they concern the patient often, especially during night sleep.
Diagnosis
For diagnosis and diagnosis, as well as for additional treatment purposes, it is necessary to contact a phlebologist. The doctor to prescribe various diagnostic measures, in general, the disease detects the disease is as follows:
- Primary inspection with the history of collection and the patient's complaints.
- Conducting ultrasound of the leg vessels.
- Dopplerography for the detection of blood clots.
- In addition, blood and biochemistry tests may be required.
Treatment Methods
Treatment of deep varicose veins of the lower ends also requires the narrow participation and observation of a phlebologist. In addition, to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect, treatment should be complex, consists of:
- Drug therapy.
- Popular remedies.
- Wearing compression linen.
- Surgical intervention.
- Physical Education of Medicine.
- Adjusting the lifestyle.
To understand the principles of treatment, we will consider three main methods, traditional and non -traditional medicine, as well as surgical treatment.
Medication
Depending on the degree of disease progression and patient complaints, drug therapy includes the use of various groups of medicines:
- Anesthesia, among which are mainly used by NSAIDS and muscle relaxants.
- The basis of treatment is venotonic, fighting venous deficiency.
- Anticoagulants that contribute to a decrease in blood coagulation.
- Phlebotonic, strengthening the walls of the blood vessels and increasing the output of the lymph.
Popular remedies
In folkloric medicine, varicose veins are common to treat mainly with special compresses and ointments based on natural components. Despite the fact that, with damage to deep vessels, they are not so effective, it is still a certain therapeutic effect that is improved by coupling with traditional medicine. The following funds are especially good on this subject:
- Propolis alcohol tincture.
- Horse chestnut tincture.
- Fresh cabbage compress.
- Baths with essential oils.
Surgery
Despite everything above, the most effective method of combating any forms of varicose veins, as long as the disease is progress, is surgical intervention. In this sense, various types of operations can also be distinguished:
- Flebectomy - Excision of the affected area of the vessel.
- Sclerotherapy is a new method that implies the introduction of a special substance into a vein that glues the vessel, after which the latter is gradually replaced by connective tissue.
- Laser intravascular coagulation is the thermal effect of the affected area of the vein, in which the vascular wall is destroyed and at the same time the blood reflux is prevented.
