If by the end of the work day, you regularly start hurting and blowing your feet, and boats in the form of blue-violet "stars" are visible on your skin, most likely you will have the initial phase varicose veins.In this case, do not be scared and, moreover, delay the visit to a fleet.First, according to statistics, up to the age of 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 stronger sex.And secondly, modern medicine has learned quite successfully to afford varicose veinsAnd for this reason, the sooner you consult a doctor, the more you have a chance to avoid surgical intervention and bypass only therapeutic methods of treatment (medicine, oil, elastic linen).
What is the cause of 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 feet under the skin) become inflated and winding -wrings, adopting the shape of bluish swollen grams.Most often, varicose veins, accompanied by valve failure and damaged blood flow, which, in turn, in the most advanced cases, leads to the appearance of thromboembolism and thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein wall and blocking with a thrombus).
According to scientists, the provocative factors for the appearance of varicose veins may be: inheritance (if one of the relatives had a certain family disease), a sharp increase in body weight, work associated with severe physical exercises.In women, hormonal changes (for example, adolescence), pregnancy and body -related loads can become the causes of varicose disease.The venous system becomes particularly vulnerable under the influence of physical and hormonal changes.The weaker it is, the greater the likelihood of breaking blood flow from the feet and developing venous insufficiency.
Despite the high level of development of science and medicine, there are only three methods of treating varicose veins.
Medication
The patient is prescribed a course of drugs (only your attending doctor may prescribe it, it is not recommended to do so yourself).Before using, read the instructions for use carefully in order to prepare for the side effects of the drug (for example, drowsiness or dizziness), and also check if you have allergies to the chemicals that make up it.The drug method is used only in the early stages of varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy
Method of the method: A special drug is inserted into the vein injured with a syringe and needle, leading to the formation of a thrombus, which, in turn, blocks Vienna.The blood flow to it stops and the stagnation disappears.The sclerotherapy procedure is almost painless and lasts only 5-10 minutes.But with all the positive aspects of this method (that is, the ability to do without surgery and consequences), sclerotherapy also has disadvantages: unfortunately, a focus of inflammation can occur when the drug enters the skin), and this method of treatment is generally contraindicated for patients with an increased allergic reaction.
Surgical removal of varicose veins
Is described in the most extreme cases when other methods of treatment are not appropriate or the disease is very neglected.An operation is performed, during which a sore vein is removed through a small cut on the skin.Before surgery, you will need to undergo a double ultrasound or triple scan to identify the state of the venous system as a whole and the area operated in particular.
Like sclerotherapy, the surgical method allows you to transfer the load to the venous blood flow from the surface veins to the depth, while the surgical intervention does not eliminate the cause of the disease but only eliminates its consequences.Therefore, if after surgery, a person does not follow the recommendations of a flubologist, relaps are possible.
Each of the methods considered treatment has serious contraindications, so the doctor should decide which option is suitable for you.To be completely confident in the correctness of the diagnosis and prescribed treatment, it is best to undergo examination by some specialists immediately.It is worth forgetting that it is always easier to prevent the disease than to treat, so if you do not want to suffer with the diseased veins, follow the simplest recommendations, and then no varicose veins is terrible.
