Varicose veins are one of the fairly common diseases, but not everyone is even aware that they suffer from this disease.
Therefore, a small network of veins on the legs is simply not noticed by many people, especially men, as well as middle-aged and older women who do not always pay close attention to their appearance.
However, the appearance of a venous network on the legs is only the first stage of varicose veins, which, without treatment, gradually progresses to the second and third stages, as a result of which the venous network is replaced by dilated and swollen veins, and then the formation of nodes in them.It should be noted that one of the manifestations of varicose veins are varicose veins of hemorrhoids, known as hemorrhoids, which cause a lot of inconvenience, often leading to significant blood loss, anemia and other complications.
The reasons for the appearance of varicose veins can be diverse, and regardless of the reasons for the appearance of varicose veins and regardless of the form of the disease, it is necessary to start treatment at an earlier stage.The main direction of treatment in this case is the use of venotonics, this also applies to varicose veins of the lower extremities and hemorrhoids.
Venotonic drugs
Often prepared from various herbs or fruit seeds, they act on the wall of venous vessels, causing them to narrow and promoting blood flow to the heart, thereby preventing its stagnation in the vessels.This makes it possible to eliminate existing varicose veins and prevent the disease from progressing.
Preparation on site is also very important.In addition, various suppositories can be used for hemorrhoids, while for varicose veins of the lower extremities, ointments that have both a vascular stabilizing and blood-thinning effect are quite effective.This makes it possible to eliminate both the external manifestations of the disease and eliminate symptoms such as heaviness in the legs and swelling of the legs, which occur with varicose veins in the evening after a long stay on the feet.
A delayed start of treatment not only leads to the progression of symptoms, but also to the possible occurrence of complications that can even be life-threatening.
Therefore, one of the most dangerous complications is the development of a pulmonary embolism.So, congestion of blood in the veins of the lower extremities leads to the formation of blood clots, which can either be firmly attached to the venous wall or actually not connected to it.Therefore, at one stage or another there may be a clot that opens and is transported with the blood to the heart and then enters the pulmonary arteries.Disruption of blood flow through the pulmonary arteries due to a blood clot entering them leads to necrosis of the lung tissue and hemorrhage in it.And if the blood clot is large and blocks the pulmonary artery itself, it can even cause sudden death.
In this regard, it is generally accepted that pulmonary embolism is the most dangerous complication of varicose veins, although one should not think that this can be dangerous for varicose veins alone, since, as mentioned above, the disease can also be complicated by bleeding and subsequent anemia.
In the early stages, varicose veins not only cause aesthetic inconvenience, but also significantly reduce tolerance to physical activity.So, after a short period of standing or walking, a person begins to feel a feeling of heaviness in the legs.In addition, severe swelling can occur with greater stress, which limits motor skills even more.
So it should be said that varicose veins cause inconvenience even in the very early stages of their appearance, while as the progression progresses the symptoms only worsen and the likelihood of complications increases significantly.
Given this, it is necessary to start treating varicose veins at the earliest stages in order to prevent the appearance of aesthetic defects and possible progression of the disease with the development of thrombosis or thromboembolism.In addition, the disease can be treated very effectively with an integrated approach.If treatment begins at a later stage, it is very important to prevent complications.
Therefore, you should not neglect treatment even in the early stages.In later stages, it is important to not only treat varicose veins, which may require surgical treatment in advanced stages, but also to prevent life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism.
