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

Healthy legs are the key to successful life.While we are healthy and do not experience discomfort in our feet, wearing high heels, tolerate tight shoes in the name of the image, we sit in offices for 8 hours, we do not even suspect that varicose veins are hiding somewhere nearby.Consider what varicose veins are on the feet, its symptoms and treatment.

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

What are the varicose veins of the lower limbs or varicose veins?

Compare our circulatory system with a huge transport highway, according to a continuous flow of cars.Suppose machines are blood cells that carry oxygen and various nutrients necessary for the life of the body, for all parts and organs of the body.And our heart "controls" this movement by pulsation, forcing blood to move through arteries.After fulfilling its enrichment function, the blood returns to the heart through the veins.

The veins under the heart overcome the natural power of attraction and to rise, they experience a large load, especially this applies to the legs.
The structure of the veins is due to the presence of valves, which are the so -called locks.The blood rose, the next valve missed it and "closed" it, preventing it from running back.If for some reason the valve does not fulfill its function, then the flow of blood should flow down, leading to its stagnation.Over time, healthy valves also enter the reaction, as as a result of stagnation on the walls of the veins, they stretch and thicken.And on the surface of the legs we can observe the nodes and seals of the bluish tones.

To date, varicose veins are younger.Every fifth woman risks seeing the swollen veins within herself.Men also need to think about this disease.There is an opinion that women get sick more often, believe me, the difference is small, just women are jealous of their appearance, they can find signs of this disease before.

Some people have a predisposition to this disease:

• Genetics.Take a look at the presence of varicose veins in relatives.
• Characteristics of the structure of the venous system.
• Characteristics of deep veins.When worsen, the blood is discarded in the surface system, the veins expand and become visible on the surface of the skin
• Characteristics of the connective tissue of the body.If the fabric is less elastic and more expandable, the vessels are therefore prone to it.

Important!90 % of the success in the treatment of varicose veins depends on the lifestyle.The causes that can provoke the disease: hypodynamia, high heels, uncomfortable shoes, excess weight, malnutrition, bad habits.

Symptoms and external manifestations

1. The first alarming symptom is swelling, weight in the legs, sometimes cramps in the lower limbs at the end of the working day.Your feet hurt, get tired of physical activity, you should stand or move, experience discomfort.
2. The second is vascular stars, but they do not always lead to varicose veins, just their whole life can manifest themselves as a cosmetic defect.The stars are enlarged intradermal capillaries.It will not be possible to get rid of them without the help of a doctor.In this case, sclerotherapy is performed, the procedure is not cheap but quite harmless.
3. The third symptom is the presence of branched bug veins with nodes and sharply expands on the surface of the leg.This may already be a hundred percent varicose veins.
4. In the far more cases, the outbreaks of pigmentation and the changes in the form of trophic ulcers can be observed on the skin.This can also lead to damage as a result of damage.

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.Throughout pregnancy, body weight will increase accordingly and the risk of complications will increase.

Myths about varicose veins

Much has been written about this disease, but it is still accompanied by a large number of misunderstood and contradictory problems.So, what are the varicose veins of the legs, its symptoms and treatment?So, think about the common myths about this disease.

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

Myth 2. With the help of traditional medicine, you can get rid of varicose veins.No!It is better to use it as additional methods if you trust them.People are afraid that there will be a relapse after the operation.Modern experience and statistics show that to some extent the return of the disease 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 therapeutic knitwear after surgery.No!Knitwear should only be used in certain situations.For example, a long trip, a long crossing car or a flight on an airplane, as well as with large loads (heavy types of work).

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

How to treat varicose veins?

Surgery or drug therapy?

If highly enlarged tuberculosis veins appear on the feet, then it is better to manage them because they themselves will not go anywhere.Should I manage varicose veins?Yes!At what stage?The earlier, the easier the outcome of the disease and the positive prognosis in the more life.But this is to decide the doctor, since the operation does not eliminate the main one, it does not eliminate the causes of varicose veins.

One of the main ones is the damage to the valve and the increased viscosity of the blood or its thickening.Simply put, "fat blood".Until you deal with the causes, neither drug therapy nor surgery will have a constant effect.

Therefore:

1. First is the fight against blood condensation.
2. Often female hormonal and contraceptives take varicose veins.It is necessary to review the medicines taken and, if necessary, replace them with others.
3. One of the reasons is increased pressure in the veins of the abdominal cavity, more often due to bowel problems (constipation, cramps) or pathological changes in the liver.Treatment should start with solving these problems.
4. The pressure in the abdominal cavity increases during pregnancy during its second half.This must be taken into account.In this situation, it is difficult to solve the problem of medicines, so you can simply wear linen from compression knitwear.
5. A big problem is overweight!And it's worth paying attention to it.It must be determined what is the cause: lifestyle or some hormonal diseases.Reduce weight in each person's strength.I just want it and everything will work out.

In order to make a diagnosis of a crucial, ultrasound examination of the venous system is decisive.This will allow to evaluate the condition of the valves, the walls of the blood vessels and the onset of blood release on the surface, to determine the outbreaks that require surgery.The ultrasound is done in an upright position to get as close as possible to the functional state of the venous system.

Today, a huge amount is available for the treatment of varicose veins.The Internet is full of names and recipes for traditional medicine.The rebellious person cannot make the right choice.

Let's talk about several groups:

• Vitamin P or Rotoside -based preparations.This miraculous vitamin strengthens the walls of blood vessels, improves blood flow, prevents blood clots, has anti -inflammatory activity and therefore relieves the processes of inflammation in the veins of the whole body (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 unprofitable to promote them.But there are contraindications.Rutoside, combined with salicylic acetic acid with prolonged use, irritates the walls of the stomach, therefore it cannot be taken with gastritis and ulcerative disease.Allergy is the second aspect of contraindications.
• Flavonoids based preparations.There are many of them.Approaching in one case, they can be completely inactive in another.To decide what the formula is right for you.The advantage of this group over the first is a more careful attitude, but it is individual.There are also side effects that are more pronounced, but the same as in the first version.
• Preparation for horse chestnut.They exist in the form of drops and tablets.The substances that make up the plants help to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels, help to combat blood clots, as well as a lower viscosity of the blood, that is, dilute it.The drugs are cheap, but they are greater than described above.

All these medicines combine one course of treatment with disadvantages are quite long and they should be repeated regularly (3-4 weeks 3-4 weeks).
Patients are presented with a huge list of ointments and gels for external topical treatment.As a rule, ointments and gel will not solve the problem, but they can facilitate its course.Which is better?Better gels.They have a cooling effect and are better sucking!
