The ugly blue veins on the legs are the cause of the complexes of a large number of women and men.Varic disease is not only an unpleasant cosmetic defect, but also a disease that has serious consequences.Said the executive secretary of the association of phlebologists.
Varicosis - Doctors call a disease of civilization.The venous system of a modern person is no different from the primitive venous system.However, the lifestyle and the nature of the charges have changed: people have started to stay in a static position for a long time - standing or seated.The venous system does not resist these charges.Vienna begins to change, their walls lose their elasticity.Little by little, ships are stretched, in their areas, forms formed - varicose veins.
It's interesting!
There is an established opinion that men do not suffer from varicose veins.That's wrong.Women pay more attention to the appearance of the legs and are much more often than men on this subject to the doctor.Men go to the doctor when injured varicose veins.
There are certain factors that cause varicose veins:
- A sedentary lifestyle.
- Obesity.Excessive weight creates high pressure in the abdominal cavity and improves load on the feet.
- Pregnancy and childbirth.About 50% of women during the first pregnancy appear at the enlarged 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 from 20 to 30%. The growing uterus tightens the vessels in the pelvis, which complicates normal venous flow.
- Annoying shoes and heels.When a girl puts shoes on a high unstable heel, loads it on the feet and calf muscles increases several times.This slows blood circulation and prevents the flow of blood.The tone of the veins decreases, which can ultimately lead to varicose veins.
The first symptoms of varicose veins
The executive secretary of the association of phlebologists: “If we are talking about the main manifestations of varicose veins, it is necessary to note the feeling of exhaustiveness of the IRC, a feeling of burning, fatigue, severity of the legs, the intensification of the end of the day.For many women, you will work, put shoes, and at the end of the day, you change in boots again, notice that they hang or do not fix at all that the venous blood stagnates and that the detected edema appears.
It's important! With the beginning of summer, the situation with varicose veins is aggravated.The veins are influenced not only by direct sunlight, but also just a high -air temperature.This slows down blood circulation and disrupts the venous exit from blood.Hide in the shade and avoid overheating!
Diagnosis of varicose veins
If you have at least one of the symptoms listed - this is an important argument for visiting a phebologist.The doctor will examine the legs and conduct a series of research if necessary.
- Dopplerography.One of the most modern informative methods.The procedure is completely safe for the patient.Its objective is to assess the speed of the blood flow, the permeability of the vessels and the condition of their valves.
- Duplex analysis.It is a non -invasive diagnostic method that combines doppleography and real -time digitization.This allows the doctor to see a ship and give an assessment of the blood flow.
- Plesmography.During this procedure, the degree of blood filling of various 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.
Varice treatment
"It is quite difficult to cure vein disease," said the doctor.“It is easier to prevent this disease in the early stages, either to control it in the future and not to make it possible to progress.If the disease occurs, only 15 to 20% of patients can obtain a hundred percent recovery.But you shouldn't abandon your hands. "
With varicose veins, patients are stretched and blood stagnates in them.If the disease has acquired a serious evolution, 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 of combating varicose veins.A person is on the operating table only in the most advanced cases.If the disease is so far only at the initial stage, not very invasive, that is to say almost bloodless methods, to eliminate the damaged Flebologist vessel.
- Sclerotherapy.This is the main non -surgical method of processing varicose veins.A special medication is introduced into the vein using the needle, which seems to stick the walls of the damaged ship and after a week, the vein itself is resolved-that is to say that it is removed without surgery.
- Laser.This is another non -surgical treatment method.Thanks to a small incision in the light of the vein, a luminaire is placed, which is linked to the laser device.The laser radiation burns the interior venous wall, the walls of the ship stand for each other and it is absorbed.
It's important! If you have signs of venous insufficiency, adhere to several rules during plane 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 drinks.
- Travel in knitting for varicose veins.
The wearing of compression knitting will help stop the development of the disease.In addition, in this way, the complications of varicose veins - thrombosis and thrombophlebitis can be avoided.Due to compression, the light of patients in the veins is narrowed, the speed of the blood flow increases, stagnation decreases.This prevents blood coagulation and blood clots.
And another recommendation: people who have varicose veins or a trend should not abuse tanning, as heat acts on the veins destructively.In addition, with venous insufficiency, you should not visit the bath, sauna and spend a lot of time in a hot bath.
