The ugly and blue veins in the legs are the cause of the complexes of a large number of women and men.Varicosa disease is not only an unpleasant cosmetic defect, but also a disease that implies serious consequences.The Executive Secretary of the Flebologists Association says.
Varicosis: Doctors call the disease a disease of civilization.The venous system of a modern person is no different from the venous primitive system.However, the lifestyle and the nature of the charges changed: people began to remain in a static position for a long time, standing or sitting.The venous system does not support these loads.Vienna begins to change, her walls lose her elasticity.Little by little, the vessels stretch, in their areas, knotted extensions are formed: varicose veins.
This is interesting!
There is an established opinion that men do not suffer from varicose veins.This is wrong.Women pay more attention to the appearance of the legs and are much more often than men about this.Men go to the doctor when varicose veins hurt.
There are certain factors that cause varicose veins:
- A sedentary lifestyle.
- Obesity.Excessive weight creates high pressure in the abdominal cavity and improves the load on the feet.
- Pregnancy and childbirth.About 50% of women during the first pregnancy appear expanded veins.This is due to the fact that to provide the baby with the necessary amount of nutrients and oxygen, the volume of circulating blood increases by 20-30%. The uterus cultivation squeezes the vessels of the pelvis, which complicates the normal venous output flow.
- Inconvenient shoes and heels.When a girl puts shoes in a high unstable heel, the load on the feet and calf muscles increases several times.This slows blood circulation and avoids the exit of the blood.The tone of the veins decreases, which can finally lead to varicose veins.
The first symptoms of varicose veins
Executive Secretary of the Association of Flobologists: "If we talk about the main manifestations of the varicose veins, it is necessaryWays, another characteristic of the roads.
It is important! With the beginning of summer, the situation with varicose veins is aggravated.The veins are influenced not only by direct sunlight, but also only a high air temperature.This slows blood circulation and interrupts the venous exit of the blood.Hold yourself in the shade and avoid overheating!
Diagnosis of varicose veins
If you have at least one of the symptoms listed, this is a significant argument to visit a phlebologist.The doctor will examine the legs and conduct a series of research if necessary.
- Dopplerography.One of the most modern highly informative methods.The procedure is completely safe for the patient.Its objective is to evaluate the speed of blood flow, the permeability of the vessels and the status of their valves.
- Duplex scan.This is a non -invasive diagnostic method that combines dopplerography and real -time scan.This allows the doctor to see a container and give an evaluation of the blood flow in it.
- PlesmographyDuring this procedure, the degree of blood stuffing of several sections of the venous channel at rest and under load is measured.
- Laboratory research.The doctor will certainly take an analysis of blood coagulation.This is extremely important because patients with varicose veins are subject to blood clots.
Treatment of varicose veins
"It is quite difficult to cure the disease of the vein," explains the doctor."It is easier to prevent this disease in the early stages, or control it in the future and not allow to progress. If the disease occurs, then only 15-20%of patients can achieve a hundred percent recovery. But they should not give up the hands."
With varicose veins, patients stretch and blood stagnates in them.If the disease has acquired a serious course, then damaged veins should be eliminated to facilitate blood circulation and prevent the appearance of new varicose veins.In the arsenal of doctors today there are many methods to combat varicose veins.A person is at the operating table only in the most advanced cases.If the disease is so far only in the initial, minimally invasive stage, that is, almost bloodless methods, to eliminate the damaged Flebology glass.
- Sclerotherapy.This is the main non -surgical method to treat varicose veins.A special drug is introduced in the vein with the help of the needle, which seems to hit the walls of the damaged glass and after a week the vein itself is resolved, that is, it is eliminated without surgery.
- Laser.This is another method of non -surgical treatment.Through a small incision in the vein light, a luminaire is placed, which is connected to the laser apparatus.The laser radiation burns the internal venous wall, the walls of the container stick each other and absorb.
It is important! If you have signs of venous insufficiency, adhere to several rules during air trips or long movements by car.
- Change the pose every half hour.
- Take an aspirin tablet before flying.It helps prevent blood clots.
- During the flight, drink more liquids, avoid alcoholic beverages.
- Trip in knitted clothes to obtain varicose veins.
Using compression knit garments will help stop the development of the disease.In addition, in this way, complications of varicose veins can be avoided: thrombosis and thrombophlebitis.Due to compression, the light of patients in the veins is reduced, the speed of blood flow increases, stagnation decreases.This avoids blood coagulation and blood clots.
And one more recommendation: people who have varicose veins or a tendency to do not should abuse the tan, because heat acts on the veins destructively.In addition, with venous insufficiency, you should not visit the bathroom house, sauna and spend a lot of time in a warm bath.
