Varicose veins - Many people are subject to this disease, all are given the mass of the reasons for the risks during life with her. The pathological process is most often localized in legs, affects superficial veins, subject to advancement, is able to cause serious damage to health.
However, in addition to the blood vessels located near the surface, varicose veins that are deeply located, they are often higher. This type of pathology can cause many more problems, cause more serious injuries. To endure diseases, it is important to understand the mechanism of its development, causes, symptoms, and also know the principles of treatment.
What are deep varicose veins
If in principle, we talk about varicose veins, this term in medicine means a vein disease in which blood transport functions on these vessels are disturbed due to their deformation of different severity. In other words, the veins extend, expand, their walls are diluted, the operation of the valves located inside, etc. All this leads to the fact that the blood worsens upstairs, and I happen in the heart, and its stagnation in vessels.
Most people are varicose veins of the lower extremities as initiation of individual vessels and vascular networks near the skin surface. At the same time, the swollen and deformed vein are clearly visible to the naked eye, and performance is true, if we speak clear about the aesthetic manifestations.
As for deep varicose veins, or better said, varicose veins, we are talking about similar violations, but now they affect venous vessels in the thickness of muscle tissue. This means that even in the hardest stages of the pathological process of this vein will not appear on the surface.
Such a pathological process is dangerous not only with its secret. Deep veins, including small and large berets, calbs and others, are much larger. Accordingly, they pass more blood, take a significant part in a large circle of blood circulation, and their damage is more serious affecting human health.
This means that the varicose veins of stable blood processes are much more serious. At the same time, a person can feel strong pain, increase fatigue in their legs, etc. But even more dangerous consequences is that with excessively increased pressure in the veins, their thin walls cannot endure, which threatens the cracks of the latter and internal bleeding. In the event of deep veins of bleeding, depending on the degree of severity and localization, it turned out to be much harder and more dangerous than with varicose vessels.
Causes of disease
Understanding why varicose veins develops, it enables the patient if the development of the disease is not prevented, then at least successfully fights against him and not to give pathology. Generally, it is worth drinking not only the causes of varicose veins, but also contributing factors:
- The main reason is the constant overvoltage of the leg due to the long-term location in a standing position. This is partly why varicose veins are considered a professional disease that often develops in chefs, hairdressers, as well as other people who are due to professional employment, and even in a static position.
- Genetics - Most doctors are not unreasonably considered that the predisposition to develop varicose veins conveys inheritance. In this case, the predisposition to the failure of the venous valves is implied.
- Due to the fact that the predisposition factor in the development of varicose veins is constant excessive loads on their feet, this pathological process is highly developed in people with obesity. Moreover, the greater surplus weight is higher the probability of disease development.
- A passive and sitting lifestyle - a lack of regular loads on muscle structures also negatively affects the functioning of the vascular system. Even higher, the probability of varicose veins, if a person does not just get into the sport and not moving a little but sits most of the time.
- Pregnancy - in women in the development of varicose veins, the consequence is a number of factors. This is an increase in the load on the feet due to fetal growth, changes in blood chemistry, but the main reason is the restructuring of the hormonal background, namely, increasing progesterone production. In the same way, varicose veins can cause extended intake of hormonal drugs.
- Thrombosis is a disease in which platelet content increases in the blood, which increases the coefficient of blood coalulation. This factor leads to a slowdown of blood circulation, as well as damage to blood vessels.
This is a list of most likely causes and factors that cause the development of spreading different vessels of lower extremities. However, here you can add endocrine disorders, physical harm and so on.
Symptoms
As mentioned earlier, the main lack of deep veins is that its development takes place unnoticed in the initial phases, no longer has visual signs of the disease. Nevertheless, even the initial forms of pathological processes have certain symptoms, which is important to pay attention to:
- The patient feels increased fatigue and sensation weight in legs that feel mostly in the afternoon or in the afternoon. It is characteristic that after relaxing or night sleep, these signs are dispersed and do not bother next evening, provided the loads during the day on their feet;
- Another alarming characteristic is swelling of the legs, even insignificant. If the legs are cheering in the evening or in the morning without apparent reason, for example, in the absence of kidney pathology, it may indicate varicose veins.
If such symptoms are found, it is very important to address the doctor for the diagnosis. However, the initial phase of varicose veins can occur completely imperceptibly, in which clinical signs will appear already with the development of 2-3 phases of the disease, may be the following:
- In addition to fatigue and severity, intensifying in the evening, patients complain of heavy legs. Syndrome about pain also has the possibility of intensification by evening, but in later stages of the disease can be constantly attended.
- Strengthening edema limbs, legs can be made on a steady basis, while the intensity of edema is high, it is impossible to miss.
- The defeat and deformation of deep veins in the late phases of pathology advancement is reflected on surface vessels, which is why venous nets appear, vascular "stars" appear. There is also a protrusion of veins on their feet with an intense load.
- Also, the skin of the lower extremities gains a bluish shade, especially in those places where deep boats are affected.
- One of the signs of progression of deep veins are seized muscle calves, they concern the patient often, mainly during night sleep.
Diagnostics
For diagnosis and diagnosis, as well as for the purpose of further treatment, it is necessary to contact a fleet. A doctor prescribing a number of diagnostic measures, in general, the disease reveals the disease is as follows:
- Primary inspection with the collection of history and patient complaints.
- Conducting the ultrasound of the leg of the leg.
- Dopplerography to detect blood clots.
- Also, urine tests and biochemistry can be needed.
Methods of treatment
The treatment of deep varicose veins of the lower extremities also requires participation and closely observation of the fleet. In addition, achieve maximum therapeutic effect, treatment should be complex, consists of:
- Drug therapy.
- National medications.
- Carrying bed linen compression.
- Surgical intervention.
- Physical education medicine.
- Adjusting lifestyle.
In order to understand the principles of treatment, we will consider three main methods, traditional and non-traditional medicine, as well as surgical treatment.
Medications
Depending on the degree of progress and patient complaints, drug therapy includes the use of several groups of medications:
- Anesthesy, among which they mainly use NSAIDs and muscular relaxants.
- The basis of treatment is Venotonic, fighting with venous lack.
- Anticoagulants that contribute to reducing blood coagulation.
- Phebotonics, strengthening the walls of blood vessels and increasing the outflow of Lymph.
National medications
In folk medicine, varicose veins are common for treatment mainly with special compresses and fats based on natural components. Despite the fact that with damage to deep vessels are not so effective, a certain therapeutic effect that improves with traditional medicine is still. The following funds are particularly good in this issue:
- Alcohol tincture from propolis.
- The tincture of a chestnut horse.
- Fresh compresses cabbage.
- Baths with essential oils.
Surgery
Despite all the above, the most efficient method of combating any forms of varicose veins, provided that the disease is progress, is surgical intervention. In this regard, several types of operations may also be distinguished:
- Flebectomy - Excision of the affected area of the vessel.
- SklerThapija is a new method that implies the introduction of a special substance in a vein that is linging the vessel, after which the latter gradually replaces with binding tissue.
- Laser intravascular coagulation is the thermal effect of the affected area of the vein in which the vascular wall is destroyed and a blood reflux is prevented at the same time.
