Varicosis: prevention and treatment.

Ugly, blue veins on the legs are the cause of complexes of a large number of women and men.Disease diseases are not only an unpleasant cosmetic defect, but also an illness that has serious consequences.Says the executive secretary of the association of phlebologists.

Varicosis - doctors call the disease as a disease.The venous system of a modern person does not differ from the venous system of primitive.However, the lifestyle and the type of loads changed: people started to stay in a static position for a long time - stand or sitting.The venous system does not endure this load.Vienna begins to change, their walls lose their elasticity.The vessels are gradually stretched, broken extensions are formed in their areas - varicose veins.

This is interesting!
There is a defined opinion that men do not suffer from varicose veins.This is wrong.Women pay more attention to the appearance of the legs and are much more common than men to the doctor.Men go to the doctor when varicose veins hurt.

There are certain factors that cause varicose veins:

  • A sitting lifestyle.
  • Obesity.Excessive weight creates high pressure in the abdominal cavity and improves the load on the feet.
  • Pregnancy and birth.About 50% of women during the first pregnancy seem to be expanded veins.This is due to the fact that the volume of the circulating blood increases by 20-30%by 20-30 to 30%to supply the baby the necessary amount of nutrients and oxygen. The growing uterus presses the vessels of the pelvis, which complicated the normal venous drainage.
  • Unhanming shoes and heels.When a girl attracts shoes on a high unstable heel, the load increases several times on the feet and the calf muscles.This slows down the blood flow and prevents blood drainage.The tone of the veins decreases, which can ultimately lead to varicose veins.

The first symptoms of varicose veins

The first symptoms of varicose veins

Executive secretary of the association of phlebologists: "When we talk about the main manifestations of varicose veins, it is necessary to consider the feeling of the completeness of the IRC, a feeling of burning, tiredness, heavy ones in the legs. The end of the day. The end of the day. Luminous red or blue vessels" stars "can appear on the hips.Women, you go to work, attract shoes and realize in boots at the end of the day, noticed that they either hold on or not appear all of these venous bloodagnates and findings."

It is important! With the beginning of summer, the situation is tightened with varicose veins.The veins are not only influenced by direct sunlight, but only a high air temperature.This slows down the blood circulation and disturbs the venous blood drainage.Hide in the shade and avoid overheating!

Diagnosis of varicose veins

If you have at least one of the listed symptoms, this is an essential argument for a phlebologist.The doctor will examine the legs and, if necessary, carry out a number of research.

  • Dopplerography.One of the most modern highly informative methods.The procedure is completely safe for the patient.His goal is to evaluate the speed of blood flow, the continuousness of the ships and the condition of their valves.
  • Duplex scan.This is a non -invasive diagnostic method that combines Dopplerography and scanning in real time.This enables the doctor to see a ship and evaluate a blood flow.
  • Plesmography.During this procedure, the level of filling is measured with blood from different sections of the venous canal in peace and under load.
  • Laboratory research.The doctor will surely carry out an analysis of the blood clotting.This is extremely important because patients with varicose veins are exposed to blood clots.

Treatment of varicose veins

Treatment of varicose veins

"It is quite difficult to heal the vein disease," explains the doctor."It is easier to prevent this disease in the early stages or to control them in the future and not to get forward. If the disease occurs, only 15-20%of patients can achieve a 100%recovery. However, they should not give up their hands." 

The patients are stretched in varicose veins and the blood stagnates them.If the disease has received a serious course, the damaged veins must be removed to facilitate blood circulation and prevent the occurrence of new varicose veins.In today's arsenal of doctors there are many methods to combat varicose veins.One person is only on the operating table in the most advanced cases.If the disease is only so far in the initial stages, minimally invasive, ie almost bloodless methods to remove the damaged male.

  • Sclerotherapy.This is the non -surgical main method for the treatment of varicose veins.A special drug is inserted into the vein with the help of the needle, which seems to stick the walls of the damaged ship, and after a week the vein itself is solved - that is, it is removed without surgery.
  • Laser.This is another method of non -surgical treatment.A tiny incision in the lumen of the veins places a light that is connected to the laser apparatus.The laser radiation burns the inner venous wall, the walls of the vessel stick to each other and are absorbed.
It is important! If you have signs of venous insufficiency, stick to several rules during the flight or with long movements by car.
  • Change the pose every half hour.
  • Take an aspirin tablet before flying.It helps to prevent blood clots.
  • During the flight, drink more liquids, avoid alcoholic beverages.
  • Travel in knitting paths for varicose veins.

The development of the disease is stopped by wearing compression knitting clothes.In this way, the complications of varicose veins - thrombosis and thrombophlebitis - can be avoided.Due to the compression, the patient's lumen is narrowed in the veins, the speed of blood flow increases, the stagnation decreases.This prevents blood clots and blood clots.

And another recommendation: People with varicose veins or a tendency should not abuse tan because the heat has a destructive effect on the veins.In addition, with venous insufficiency you should not visit the bath house, the sauna and spend a lot of time in a warm bath.
