If at the end of your working day you often start to hurt and swell your feet, and the ship in the form of a blue-violet "star" can be seen on your skin, most likely you have an early stage varicose veins.In this case, don't be afraid and, moreover, postpone a visit to a phlebologist.First, according to statistics, at the age of 20, about 17% of Russians suffer from vein deficiency (that is, they have the first prerequisite for the development of varicose veins), and the disease is much more common than stronger sex representatives.And secondly, modern medicine has successfully learned to overcome varicose veinsTherefore, the sooner you consult your doctor, the more you have the opportunity to avoid surgical intervention and intercept only therapeutic treatment methods (medicine, ointment, use special elastic linen).
What is the cause of varicose veins, is it possible to avoid it, and what is the treatment method?
So, Varicose veins - a condition in which the peripheral veins (usually on the surface of the skin) become soared and crushed, obtaining a gram of swollen grams.Often, varicose veins, accompanied by valve failure and affected blood flow, which in turn, in most advanced cases, lead to thromboembolism and thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein and clogged with thrombus).
According to scientists, the provocative factors for the appearance of varicose veins can be: descent (if one of the relatives has a disease given in the family), weight gain (decrease), work related to heavy physical energy.In women, hormone changes (for example, in adolescence), pregnancy and burdens related to the body can be the cause of varicose disease.The vein system becomes very helpless under the influence of physical and hormone changes.The weaker, the more likely the infringement of blood flow from the legs and the development of vein deficiency.
Despite the high stages of science and medicine, there are only three methods of treating varicose veins.
A method of drug
Patients are prescribed medication courses (only your attending physician may prescribe it, not recommended to do this on its own).Before use, read the instructions carefully for use for the side effects of the drug (for example, drowsiness or dizziness), and also check if you have allergies to the chemicals that form it.The drug method is only used in the early stages of varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy
Methods: Special drugs are introduced into the pain veins with syringes and needles, leading to the formation of thrombus, which in turn, clogs the vienna.The blood flow to it stopped and the stagnation disappeared.The sclerotherapy procedure is almost painless and only takes 5-10 minutes.But with all the positive aspects of this method (that is, the ability to perform without surgery and related consequences), sclerotherapy also has weaknesses: unfortunately, the focus of inflammation may occur when the drug enters the skin), and these treatment methods are usually contraindicated for patients with increased allergic reactions.
Varicose vein removal surgery
It is prescribed in the most extreme cases when other methods of treatment are inappropriate or the disease is overlooked.The operation is performed, where the pain is released through a small slice on the skin.Prior to surgery, you need to undergo a duplex or triplex duplex scan to identify the state of the venous system as a whole and the area in particular.
Like sclerotherapy, the surgical method allows you to transfer the load on the venous blood flow from the surface veins, while surgical intervention does not eliminate the cause of the disease, but only eliminates the consequences.Therefore, if after a person's operation does not follow the proposal of a phlebologist, relapse is possible.
Each treatment method under consideration has a serious contraindication, so your doctor should determine which choice is right for you.To be true -to be confident in the accuracy of the diagnosis and the prescribed treatment, it is best to undergo examination by some experts at once.It should be forgotten that it is easier to prevent the disease than to treat, so if you do not want to suffer from sore veins, follow the simplest suggestions, and then there is no terrible varicose veins.
