Varicose veins: what kind of beast is and how to deal with

Healthy legs are the key to a successful life.While we are healthy and do not experience discomfort, wearing high heels, tolerating tight shoes for image sake, we sit in offices for 8 hours, we do not even doubt that varicose veins hidden somewhere.Consider which varicose veins are in the legs, symptoms and its treatment.

Varicose veins are chronic deficiency of the body's venous system.Varicosis can also hit the rectum, then it is hemorrhoids.But this article is dedicated to foot veins disease.What is this monster?Is he so terrible?The enemy must know in the face, then the victory is in your hands!

What is varicose veins of the lower extremities or varicose veins?

Compare our blood circulation system with a large transport highway, according to which a continuous flow of cars flows.Suppose cars are blood cells that carry oxygen and various nutrients needed for body life, in all parts and organs of the body.And our heart "controls" this movement through pulsation, forcing the blood to move through the arteries.After performing his enrichment function, blood returns to the heart through the veins.

The veins down the heart overcome the natural power of traction and to rise, they undergo a great load, especially this applies to the feet.
The structure of the veins is due to the presence of valves, which are the so -called locks.Blood rose, the other valve lost it and "closed", preventing it from flowing again.If for some reason the valve does not perform its function, then the blood flow should flow down, which leads to its stagnation.Over time, healthy valves also enter the reaction, as as a result of the stagnation of the vein walls that extend and thicken.And on the surface of the feet we can observe the nodes and seals of the bluish tones.

So far, varicose veins are newer.The fifth woman is in danger of seeing the swollen veins in themselves.Men also have to think about this disease.There is a thought that women get sick more often, believe me, the difference is small, only women are jealous of their appearance, namely, they can first detect signs of this disease.

Some people have a predisposition to the disease:

• Genetics.Pay attention to the presence of varicose veins in relatives.
• A feature of the structure of the venous system.
• The characteristics of the deep vein flow.When worsening, the blood is discharged into the surface system, the veins expand and become visible on the surface of the skin
• Characteristics of connective tissue of the body.If the fabric is less resilient and stretched, so the boats are predisposed to this.

Important!90 % of the success in the treatment of varicose veins depends on the lifestyle.Reasons that can provoke the disease: hypodynamine, high heels, unpleasant shoes, excess weight, improper nutrition, bad habits.

Symptoms and external manifestations

1. The first alarming symptom is swelling, severity in the leg, sometimes cramping at the bottom extremities at the end of the work day.The legs are injured, tired of physical activity, you need to stay or move, experiencing discomfort.
2. The second is vascular stars, but they do not always lead to varicose veins, only their whole lives can manifest as a cosmetic defect.The stars are intradermal diluted capillaries.It will not be possible to get rid of them without the help of a doctor.In this case, sclerotherapy is done, the procedure is not free, but quite harmless.
3. The third symptom is the presence of branched veins branched with joints and expands sharply to the surface of the foot.This is probably already one hundred percent varicose veins.
4. In distant cases, pigmentation concentrations and changes in the form of trophic ulcers can be observed on the skin.This can lead to disability and, as a result, disability.

Important!If you still have a doctor diagnosed with varicose veins, you should solve this problem before planning a baby's birth in your life.During pregnancy, body weight will increase and the risk of complications with it will increase.

Myths about varicose veins

There is much written about the disease, but it is still accompanied by a large number of misunderstood and controversial issues.So what are the varicose veins in the legs, the symptoms and its treatment?So consider the common myths of this disease.

Myth 1. Varicosis does not require mandatory treatment, you can live with it for a long time and fortunately.But statistics say that most patients with age have complications, which sooner or later lead to a doctor.Better early!

Myth 2. With the help of traditional medicine, you can get rid of varicose veins.No!It is best to use it as an additional method if you trust them.People are afraid that after surgery there will be a return.Modern experience and statistics show that the return of the disease to some extent manifests itself in only 5% of patients, the remaining 95% are satisfied with the result and experience much less problems than before surgery.

Myth 3. For life, wear a post -operative therapeutic knit.No!Knitted dresses should only be used in certain situations.For example, a long trip, a long car crossing or a flight to a plane, as well as with large loads (heavy types of work).

Myth 4. Some patients are sure that medication should be taken before and after surgery.This is not necessary if the doctor (vascular surgeon) did not prescribe them in your appointment.Take medication yourself and think that thinning is treated by varicose veins, absolutely unjustified!

How to treat varicose veins?

Medication surgery or therapy?

If the tuberous veins appear tightly diluted in the legs, then it is best to operate them because they themselves will not go anywhere.Should I operate varicose veins?Yes!At what stage?The sooner, the easier the way to get out of the disease and a positive prognosis in further life.But this is to place the doctor because the surgery does not eliminate the main one, it does not eliminate the causes of varicose veins.

One of the main ones is valve damage and increased blood viscosity or thickening.Simply speaking, "thick blood".Until you cope with the causes, neither medication therapy nor surgery will give a constant effect.

Therefore:

1. In the first place is the fight against blood condensation.
2. Often, hormonal and contraceptives are getting varicose veins.It is necessary to review the medication taken and, if necessary, replace them with others.
3. One of the reasons is the increase in pressure in the veins of the abdominal cavity, most often due to intestinal problems (constipation, cramps) or pathological changes in the liver.Treatment should begin with solving these problems.
4. The pressure in the abdominal cavity increases and during pregnancy in its second half.This must be taken into account.In this situation, it is difficult to solve the problem with medication, so you can simply wear linen from knitwear dresses.
5. A big problem is overweight!And it is worth paying attention to this.It should be determined what the cause is: lifestyle or some hormonal diseases.Reduce weight in every person's strengths.I just love it, and everything will work.

To make a crucial diagnosis, an ultrasound study of the venous system is crucial.It will allow to evaluate the condition of the valves, the walls of the blood vessels and the onset of the appearance of blood release on the surface, determine seals that require surgery.The ultrasound is made in a standing position in order to approach as much as possible with the functional state of the venous system.

Today a large amount for the treatment of varicose veins is proposed.The Internet is full of names and recipes for traditional medicine.An unprepared person cannot make the right choice.

Let's talk about several groups:

• Preparations based on vitamin P or rootoside.This wonderful vitamin strengthens the blood vessel walls, improves blood flow, prevents the formation of blood clots, has anti -inflammatory activity and, therefore, facilitates the processes of inflammation in the veins of the whole organism (also used in the treatment of hemorrhoids).The cost of such medicines is low and they can hardly be found in our pharmacies, as it is useless to promote them.But there are contraindications.Rutoside, combined with salicylic ester acetic acid with prolonged use, irritates the stomach walls, therefore cannot deal with gastritis and ulcerative disease.Allergy is the second aspect of contraindications.
• Flavonoid -based preparations.There are many of them.Approaching in one case, they can be completely inactive in another.To decide which formula is suitable for you.The advantage of this group over the former is a more careful attitude, but this is individual.There are also side effects, less pronounced, but just like in the first version.
• Horse chestnut preparations.They exist in the form of points and tablets.The substances that make up the plants help to strengthen the blood vessel walls, help fight blood clots and also reduce blood viscosity, that is, dilute it.The drug is cheap, but they are weaker than previously prescribed.

All of these medicines combine one barrier treatment courses are quite long, and they should be repeated regularly (3 times a year 3-4 weeks).
Patients are presented with a large list of ointments and gel for local external treatment.As a rule, ointments and gels will not solve the problem, but can ease its flow.Which one is better?The best gel.They have a cooling effect and are sucking better!
