Particular attention should be paid to prevention, to exclude potential risk factors, then even the weakened foot vein will not extend and will not lose elasticity.It is necessary to provide appropriate to the foot of the foot so that no factors of the expansion of the veins are undergoing.

  • Symptoms in the fourth stage, the most severe are the inflammatory processes of the subcutaneous veins of the lower extremities, the non -healing trophic ulcers, which are already difficult to treat.The main characteristic of this stage of diseases is the increase in secondary infection and thrombophlebitis.With these manifestations, urgent hospitalization is needed for the hospital, the integrated use of the treatment methods of the whole organism.

Experts highlight the main risk factors:

  • Hereditary diseases associated with varicose veins in different parts of the body;
  • Disordishes hormonal disorders can increase blood clotting, a decrease in the elasticity of the veins in the legs;
  • Obesity, ascites, which increases the load on the foot, is associated with the expansion of the vein walls;
  • Pregnancy or elevation of heavy objects increase pressure within the abdominal cavity, which also helps to weaken the vascular walls and varicose veins;
  • Lack of foot load, inactive work is filled with enlargement of the veins in the legs;
  • Close linen, smaller shoes, which squeeze the vein, wearing heels, which causes the blood to be circulated;
  • Varicose veins are often caused by kidney disease or the cardiovascular system, which causes swelling, is observed in the enlargement of the veins of the lower extremities.

The main methods that imply the diagnosis of varicose veins of the legs are:

  • External examination of varicose veins of the legs, which must be done by qualified doctors in the hospital;
  • Ultrasound dopplerometry, which allows you to identify wall seals in the veins of the lower extremities.Such a diagnosis allows you to unclearly determine the stage of the violation;
  • Double scan of foot veins, which is performed by the doctor of the profile clinic, allows you to clearly identify varicose failure.This method that combines the study of ultrasound and doppler can be checked what is happening to the veins: circulatory rate, leg diameter, valve function, and varicose veins;
  • A study of phleboscience that allows with high accuracy to analyze and even at the initial phase to learn about the expansion of varicose veins and take precautionary measures in time.It is performed by the presentation of a special subcutaneous coloring substance, such a fluid in Vienna is released on the monitor of a reverse color;
  • Occlusive platymography;
  • Use of the tomographic diagnosis of diseases (MRI, calculated tomography), complications that accompany varicose veins can be detected;
  • Samples of bin or harness for diagnosis of diseases are used in the complex as an addition to different methods to determine the phase of varicose veins.

Decoding the results of diagnosing varicose veins, as a rule, does not take much time.Most procedures take from 10 to 40 minutes, after which the doctor who participates is expressed by the diagnosis based on the information received.The diagnosis should only be trusted by an experienced clinic doctor who can make a clear and incomprehensible diagnosis because treatment at different stages includes different methods, principles of treatment, medication.

  • Taking medication responsible for increasing the tone of venous walls.Medicines do not remove the causes of the disease, but only prevent the appearance of a certain symptoms such as severity in the foot, swelling;
  • The use of heparin -containing ointments, which also relieve symptoms and help get rid of unpleasant sensations;
  • If the patient has a risk of blood clots, prevention in the form of coagulants is prevented;
  • Coating the compression knit, which reduces the load on the foot, helps to distribute the load even with active physical activity, does not allow blood to stretch.Thanks to the dressing of compression socks or sweater, the foot does not even feel tough at the end of the day, there is no edema;
  • The elimination of symptoms and causes is possible through preventive measures: stabilization of the daily regimen, physiotherapy exercises, allowing relief of stress that falls during the day, treatment of simultaneous health disorders.

Indications for the use of surgical treatment of varicose veins are wide vein lesions in both limbs, trophic ulcers, thrombophlebitis, phlebotrombosis and other serious conditions that are not subject to medication treatment.The choice of treatment for the disease of the lower extremities with the help of surgical intervention is determined by the specific course of the disease, the presence of simultaneous health disorders, other pathologies.

Surgical methods for treating varicose veins are ::

Sclerotherapy - using the procedure, small vascular stars can be treated, as a result of adhesion, veins are given integrity.During the procedure, a special adhesive is inserted into the boat, which connects the walls to a small rate of damage.After a while, the stars are absorbed, minor symptoms of manifestation are removed, making the legs attractive.The advantage of this method of treatment is the lack of anesthesia and a short time (the procedure lasts 5-15 minutes);

  • Laser coagulation - helps to unite larger vessels subject to damage to the walls.Local anesthesia treatment is preceded.Then the doctor presents a lighter in a vein along which a laser beam passes.The radiation heats the venous walls, due to which the ship is joining, the point of the point is submerged later;
  • Radio frequency ablation (coagulation) - the effectiveness of this new method in treatment has already managed to evaluate doctors.The essence of the procedure lies in the action of high frequency current on the venous walls from the inside, which allows them to climb;
  • Flexomy - involves removing large vessels whose walls will no longer return to the state of the tone.Refers to radical methods of treatment of varicose veins in which the veins are removed, along which no more than 10% of the bloodstream occurs.Deep veins have been rebuilt in increasing blood volumes.The surgery is used for a strong release of veins, joints and subcutaneous pathologies.

After treatment in the clinic, certain precautions should be observed.To reduce the load on the foot and achieve maximum results in the treatment of varicose veins, it is recommended to wear flanic shoes, do not raise heavy objects, wear compression products prescribed by the doctor.
