If at the end of the working day you regularly begin to hurt and fans the legs, and the vessels in the form of blue-blue "stars" are visible on your skin, most likely you have the initial initial stage varicose veins.In this case, do not be afraid and also delay the visit to a phlegm.First, according to statistics, at the age of 20, approximately 17% of the population of Russia suffers from venous insufficiency (that is, they have the first prerequisites for the development of varicose veins), and this ailment is much more common than representatives of the strongest sex.And secondly, modern medicine has learned quite successfully to deal with varicose veinsAnd, therefore, the sooner consults a doctor, the more you will have the opportunity to avoid surgical intervention and omit only the therapeutic treatment methods (medicine, ointment, use of special elastic linen).
What is the cause of the varicose veins?Is it possible to avoid it and what treatment methods exist?
So, Varicose veins - A condition in which peripheral veins (usually on the surface of the legs under the skin) are infected and devanated, acquiring the form of bluish swollen grams.Most of the time, the varicose veins, accompanied by the valve failure and the deteriorated blood flow, which, in turn, in the most advanced cases, lead to the appearance of thromboembolism and thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein wall and obstruction with a thrombus).
According to scientists, the provocative factors for the appearance of varicose veins can be: inheritance (if one of the relatives had a given disease in the family), a strong increase (decrease) of body weight, the work associated with a strong physical effort.In women, hormonal changes (for example, in adolescence), pregnancy and related loads in the body can become the causes of varicose disease.The venous system is especially helpless under the influence of physical and hormonal changes.The weaker, the greater the probability of a violation of the blood exit of the legs and the development of venous insufficiency.
Despite the high level of development of science and medicine, there are only three methods to treat varicose veins.
Medication method
A medication course is prescribed to the patient (only your attending physician can prescribe it, it is not recommended to do it yourself).Before using, carefully read the instructions for use to be prepared for the side effects of the medication (for example, drowsiness or dizziness), and also verify if you have allergies to the chemicals that compose it.The drug 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, which leads to the formation of a thrombus, which, in turn, obstructs Vienna.The blood flow towards him stops and the stagnation disappears.The sclerotherapy procedure is almost painless and takes only 5-10 minutes.But with all the positive aspects of this method (namely, the ability to do without surgery and associated consequences), sclerotherapy also has disadvantages: unfortunately, a focus of inflammation may occur when the drug enters the skin), and this treatment method is generally contraindicated for patients with a greater allergic reaction.
Surgical elimination of varicose veins
It is prescribed in the most extreme cases when other treatment methods are not adequate or the disease is too neglected.An operation is carried out, during which a painful vein is removed through a small incision in the skin.Before the operation, you must submit to an ultrasound duplex or a triplex exploration to identify the status of the venous system as a whole and the area operated in particular.
Like sclerotherapy, the surgical method allows you to transfer the load in venous blood output of the surface veins to the depths, 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, they are possible relapses.
Each of the treatment methods considered has serious contraindications, so the doctor must decide which option is adequate for you.To have completely trusted the correction of the diagnosis and the prescribed treatment, it is better to undergo an exam by several specialists at the same time.It is worth forgetting that it is always easier to prevent the disease than treating, therefore, if you do not want to suffer with sick veins, follow the simplest recommendations and then no varicose veins is terrible.
