If, at the end of work day, you start hurting and swelling your legs, and vases in the form of blue violet stars are visible on your skin, you probably have the early stage varicose veins.In this case, do not be alarmed and, besides, postpone the visit to a phlebologist.First, according to statistics, at age 20, about 17% of Russia's population suffers from venous insufficiency (ie they have the first prerequisites for the development of varicose veins), and this disease is much more common than representatives of the strongest sex.And secondly, modern medicine has successfully learned to deal with varicose veinsAnd therefore, the sooner you consult a doctor, the more you will have a chance to avoid surgical intervention and ignore only therapeutic treatment methods (medicine, ointment, wearing special elastic linen).
What is the cause of varicose veins, is it possible to avoid it and what treatment methods are there?
Then, Varicose veins - A condition in which the peripheral veins (usually on the surface of the legs under the skin) are inflated and curled, acquiring the shape of swollen bluish grams.Most of the time, veins varicose veins, accompanied by impaired valve and blood flow failure, which, in turn, in the most advanced cases, lead to thromboembolism and thrombophlebitia (inflammation of the vein wall and clogging with a thrombus).
According to scientists, the factors causing varicose veins may be: heredity (if one of the relatives had a particular disease in the family), an accentuated increase in body weight, a work associated with heavy physical exertion.In women, hormonal changes (eg adolescence), pregnancy and related body loads can become the causes of varicious disease.The venous system becomes especially defenseless under the influence of physical and hormonal changes.The weaker it is, the more likely to violate the blood outlet from the legs and the development of venous insufficiency.
Despite the high level of science and medicine development, there are only three methods of varicose veins.
Medication method
The patient receives a course of medicines (only your assistant doctor can prescribe, it is not recommended to do this alone).Before use, carefully read the instructions for use to be prepared for the side effects of the drug (for example, drowsiness or dizziness) and also make sure you have allergies to the chemicals that compose it.The medicine method is used only in the early stages of varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy
The method of the method: A special medicine is introduced into the painful vein with a syringe and a needle, leading to the formation of a thrombus, which, in turn, clogged Vienna.The blood flow for him to and the stagnation disappears.The sclerotherapy procedure is almost painless and only takes 5 to 10 minutes.But with all the positive aspects of this method (namely, the ability to pass without surgery and associated consequences), sclerotherapy also has disadvantages: unfortunately, a focus of inflammation can occur when the medicine enters the skin), and this treatment method is generally against patients with an increased allergic reaction.
Surgical removal of varicose veins
It is prescribed in the most extreme cases, when other treatment methods are not adequate or the disease is very neglected.An operation is performed during which a painful vein is removed through a small skin incision.Before the operation, you will need to undergo a duplex or triplex ultrasound check to identify the state of the venous system as a whole and the particular operated area.
Since sclerotherapy, the surgical method allows you to transfer the load at the venous blood from the surface veins to deep, while surgical intervention does not eliminate the cause of the disease, but only eliminates its consequences.Therefore, if after the operation, a person does not follow the recommendations of a phlebologist, it will be possible relapses.
Each of the methods considered to be treatment against serious instructions;Therefore, the doctor should decide which option is suitable for you.To be completely confident in the correction of diagnosis and prescribed treatment, it is best to go through an examination of several experts at the same time.It is worth forgetting that it is always easier to prevent the disease than to treat, so if you do not want to suffer sick veins, follow the simplest recommendations and then no varicose veins is terrible.
