Good strong veins require constant care for themselves.At the initial stage, varicose veins destroy the beauty of the legs, poses a small threat to health, but progressing, it creates complications and carries a danger to life.Varicose of other organs are most often satellites of various diseases and to obtain a real effect they need to be treated with them.Risk groups, which first of all need to remember the prevention of varicose veins:
- Everyone who leads a sedentary lifestyle.
- It costs a lot during the day, for example at work.
- Who has excess weight or is obese.
- Constantly wears high heels or too narrow shoes.
- It has diseases (or recent operation) in the pelvis.
- It wears close clothes that interfere with blood flow.
- Often sits, throwing his leg on the leg.
- Pregnant.
- Athletes engaged in regular overloads.
- Takes hormonal drugs.
Many people do not even suspect that they are carriers of a serious illness.The advanced stage of this disease is treated enough, unlike the initial.Therefore, everyone, and especially those who have poor heredity, need to know what varicose veins are, its symptoms and remember - timely contacting a phlebologist is simply necessary, just like a preventive examination by a dentist.You need to take care of your health yourself, without letting go of the case.
Varicose veins, what is it?
To figure out what varicose veins are, let's look at the deep causes of this disease.As you know, our body is permeated with a frequent network of blood vessels, some of which drive blood to the heart - veins, others, on the contrary, carry it in the opposite direction - these are arteries.While the system works harmoniously, and blood vessels are clean, elastic and not exposed to excessive loads, everything is fine.If regular failures begin, sooner or later they can lead to diseases, one of which is varicose veins.
It can occur in any part of the body, but most often localized in the limbs.Partly because, raising blood up the legs, the veins withstand high loads, partially, because our limbs, this is one of the most “busy” parts of our body - we are forced to lift weights, walk, stand or sit, which is also bad, as it interferes with normal blood flow.
Methods of treatment
The clinic uses modern methods of treating varicose veins in accordance with the standards of the World Phlebologists Association.Each method has its own indications and restrictions on use, it all depends on the diagnosis.The use of non -surgical techniques is a priority direction of our center.
Sclerotherapy
It is used, as a rule, at the initial stage of varicose veins.In addition to the therapeutic component, sclerotherapy is the only method aimed at obtaining a cosmetic result - the removal of vascular stars and reticular varicose veins.With the help of a syringe and needles (injections), a special drug is introduced into the varicose vein, “gluing” the walls of the vessel.The session of one procedure lasts about ten minutes.On average, 2-4 sessions are held.
Transdermal laser technology.
In order to remove vascular stars, telangioectasies and small capillaries on the legs, innovative transdermal laser technology are used.It allows, with a minimal effect of laser radiation on neighboring tissues, only damaged vessels are selected to selectively coagate, without injuring healthy skin. The effect of the procedure is the endangered veins or capillaries, you can see almost immediately.
Laser and radio frequency technologies
On larger vessels, treatment is carried out with laser and radio frequency technologies.
These are effective sparing methods of removing veins, which are classified as “office phlebology” with a quick recovery period - two hours after such procedures, the patient independently leaves the clinic and can return to the usual rhythm of life.
Small invasive surgery
In cases where you can’t do without surgery, the specialists of the phlebology center use minimally invasive technologies - minioperations, combined surgical interventions, cryodestruction, which are successfully performed in a hospital in one day.
The main task of the medical center is to ensure maximum safety for the patient during the operation. What is important to know about varicose veins?The presence of advanced veins in itself is already an indication for treatment, even if they do not hurt.In such veins, valves do not work, blood stagnates and Vienna loses its function.The longer you “grow” your veins, the greater the amount of treatment will be needed, in addition, in the presence of extended veins there is a risk of thrombosis.It is much easier and safer to solve the problem at the initial stage than to bring to surgery.
Also, do not forget that with age, even the simplest treatment can be complicated due to concomitant diseases such as, for example, increased blood pressure.
Varicose veins of limbs complications
The most common form of this disease, which is mainly implied in the mention of varicose veins, is varicose veins of the legs.Its initial symptoms were listed above, and what could be neglected by treatment?We list the main complications of this disease:
- thrombophlebitis;
- phlebotrombosis;
- trophic ulcers;
- Bleeding varicose nodes.
What is thrombophlebitis?This is inflammation of the walls of external veins and the appearance of blood clots on them, which not only narrow the space for blood flow, but also as a result can completely block the vessel.It almost from the very beginning accompanies varicose veins.And a person who does not engage in his veins, as a result, receives acute thrombophlebitis to a bouquet of complications, when a thrombus not only interferes with blood circulation, but is also the center of the focus of inflammation, affecting not only the walls of the vessel, but also nearby tissues.
Flobotrombosis - the so -called deep vein thrombophlebitis, no less serious and with great difficulty treating the disease, when thrombosis prevents blood flow, and the vessels and tissues themselves are inflamed.What is thrombosis?This is the appearance in the vessels of blood clots that interfere with blood flow, or even completely overlap the lumen of the blood vessels.Even a partial decrease in fresh blood supply slows down the metabolism of tissues and leads to the accumulation of its products, and complete blockage - can ultimately lead to the death of cells, that is, to tissue necrosis.
Another serious problem, varicose veins of the last degrees, these are trophic ulcers - open, long non -healing wounds.How long?If for a month and a half the wound does not think to drag on, this is a trophic ulcer.It is treated, but this is a long and complex treatment, when you have to combine surgical and therapeutic methods.
No less dangerous is such a complication as bleeding of varicose nodes.It can be caused by both the thinning of the vessels in the places of thickening and mechanical exposure.Because to damage the surrounding and losing elasticity vessel costs nothing.It is not necessary to think that this applies only to outdoor veins, which are deeply “tender” and susceptible to any loads, blows, displacements.Varicosis in the video makes an even more depressing impression.In order to prevent this, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible and strictly follow all his instructions, both in treatment and in lifestyle.
Cream from varicose veins opinion of doctors
Cream manufacturers offer you to get rid of varicose veins in 14 days.The official website claims that this tool, created on the basis of natural ingredients, allows you to completely eliminate not only the symptoms of the disease, but also the varicose veins themselves.Whether they will decrease in size, or will it completely disappear under the influence of the active substances of the cream is not known, but the main thing is that you will get the result not temporary, but constant.Is it possible?
The presence of symptoms of varicose veins.Applying a cream from varicose veins, its sellers suggest that you completely get rid of the disease in just 2 weeks.A positive result is guaranteed, regardless of the stage of the pathological process.
The presence of risk factors for the development of varicose veins.You can use the cream regularly if you have bad habits, a standing profession or relatives suffering from the expansion of the veins of the lower extremities.
Pregnancy.Until the birth, a woman, according to the manufacturers of the cream from varicose veins, should use this cream in order to prevent varicose veins.
The declared effects after 2 weeks from the start of the use of the product:
- complete disappearance of all symptoms;
- resorption of blood clots and vascular nets;
- reduction in vein deformation;
- Normalization of blood flow, healing of trophic ulcers.
Although you will completely be cured after 2 weeks, the general course of treatment, sellers of the cream recommend extending up to 2 months.Most likely, this is necessary in order to avoid relapse of the disease.
Currently, medicine does not yet know drugs that could eliminate varicose veins completely in several years.Recall that manufacturers of cream promise such an effect in just 2 weeks.What will the varicose veins go?
According to data from the official site, the cream contains the following components:
- ginkgo biloba - to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation;
- Hamamelis extract - for dissolving blood clots, normalizing the outflow of lymph;
- horse chestnut - to eliminate the fragility of capillaries, resorption of vascular venous mesh, prevention of the appearance of new blood clots;
- Troxerutin and urea - for removal of edema;
- vegetable oils of corn and sunflower - to strengthen blood vessels;
- Menthol - to relieve spasm in the legs.
With this composition, the cream would surely save you from varicose veins, possess its components with all those properties that are listed on the official website of the product.One trouble is the vast majority of them invented, and therefore the cure of varicose veins when using this cream is unlikely.
The cream from varicose veins in its effectiveness is contrasted with generally accepted methods of treating varicose veins, such as:
- surgical intervention;
- use of tablets;
- Compression therapy.
It is argued that, unlike all these therapeutic techniques, a cream based on natural components eliminates varicose veins completely and forever, without harm to health.Unfortunately, this happens only in the fantasies of sellers.
In recent years, dozens of varicose veins have appeared, each of which supposedly cures this disease completely.They are sold thanks to bright advertising, and leave the market, when too many messages appear on the Internet about the low efficiency of the next “miraculous” cream.But sellers do not lose heart.Another cream comes to the old product, and it is again sold by direct deception of people suffering from varicose veins.
The real effect of the cream, if the composition corresponds to the declared manufacturer, is only a decrease in the symptoms of the disease.The duration of the therapeutic effect is several hours.In this case, there is no effect on the dynamics of the development of the disease or the risk of complications.
Naturally, under the influence of creams and ointments, there is no resorption of varicose-extended blood vessels, nor dissolution of blood clots.Most of the components that are part of the medicine are effective only when oral administration, and are practically useless with local use.But even with internal use, the active substances only reduce the symptoms and slow down the development of the disease, and do not heal varicose veins completely.
