Varicose veins: the kind of animal and how to handle it

Healthy feet are the key to successful life.Although we are healthy and do not experience discomfort in the foot, wear high heels, tolerate narrow shoes by image, we sit in the office for 8 hours, we do not suspect that varicose veins hide somewhere nearby.Consider any varicose veins in the feet, symptoms and treatment.

Varicose veins are chronic deficiency of the body's vein system.Varicosis can also hit the rectum, so it is hemorrhoids.But this article is reserved for foot disease.What is this monster?Is he so horrible?The enemy needs to know in the face, then victory in your hand!

What is the varicose vein from the lower leg or varicose veins?

Compare our blood circulation systems with a large transportation highway, according to the continuous flow of car flow.Let's say that the machine is a blood cell that carries oxygen and the various nutrients needed for the body's life, to all parts and organs of the body.And our hearts "control" this movement through pulse, forcing blood to move through the artery.After performing its enrichment function, blood returns to the liver through the veins.

The veins under the heart overcome the natural attractiveness, and to rise, they have a great burden, especially for the feet.
The structure of the veins is caused by the presence of the valve, which is a key called.The blood goes up, the next valve misses and "closes", preventing it from leaking.If for some reason the valve does not perform its function, then the blood flow should flow down, leading to its stagnation.Over time, healthy valves also enter the reaction, as a result of the stagnation of the vein wall they stretch and thicken.And on the surface of the foot we can see the nodes and seals of the tone.

To date, varicose veins are younger.Every fifth woman is at risk of seeing the swollen veins in her.Men should also think about the disease.There is an opinion that women are getting sick, believe me, the difference is small, only women are jealous of their appearance, respectively, they can previously detected the signs of the disease.

Some people have a tendency for the disease:

• Genetics.Note the presence of varicose veins in the relatives.
• The structure of the vein system.
• Features -Feature of inner veins.When declining, the blood is released into the surface system, the veins develop and can be seen on the surface of the skin
• Features of connective tissue.If the fabric is less elastic and better, therefore, the vessels are exposed to this.

IMPORTANT!90 % of success in the treatment of varicose veins depends on the lifestyle.Causes that can trigger the disease: hypodynamia, high heels, uncomfortable shoes, excess weight, improper nutrition, bad habits.

External symptoms and manifestations

1. The first worrying symptoms are swelling, severity in the legs, sometimes cramps in the lower leg at the end of the work day.The feet are sore, tired of physical activity, you need to stand or move, experiencing discomfort.
2. The second is a vascular star, but they do not always lead to varicose veins, only all their lives can be real as cosmetic defects.The star is expanded in intradermal capillaries.It is not possible to get rid of them without the help of a doctor.In this case, sclerotherapy is performed, the procedure is not cheap, but is quite harmless.
3. The third symptom is the presence of bugus branched with nodes and develops on the surface of the foot.This may have been one hundred percent of varicose veins.
4. In far cases, the focus of pigmentation and changes in the form of trophic ulcers can be seen on the skin.This can cause defects and, as a result, to defects.

Myths about varicose veins

Much has been written about the disease, but is still accompanied by a large number of misunderstood and controversial issues.So what are the varicose veins in the feet, symptoms and treatment?Therefore, consider a general myth of the disease.

Myth 1. Varicosis does not require compulsory treatment, you can live with it for a long time and happy.But statistics say that most patients with age have complications, which slowly leads to doctors.Better early!

Myth 2. With the help of traditional medicine, you can get rid of varicose veins.No!It's best to use it as an additional method if you trust them.People are afraid that after surgery there will be relapse.Modern experiences and statistics show that the return of the disease to a certain extent shows itself in only 5% of patients, the remaining 95% satisfied with the results and had less problems than before surgery.

Myth 3. For a living, wear therapeutic knitwear after surgery.No!Knitwear should only be used in certain situations.For example, long trips, long tracks with cars or flights on airplanes, as well as large loads (heavy work types).

How to treat varicose veins?

Drug surgery or therapy?

If the tuberous veins are expanded strongly on the feet, then it is best to handle it, as they will not go anywhere.Do I need to handle varicose veins?Yes!At what level?The earlier, it is easier to get out of the disease and positive prognosis in the next life.But this is to determine the doctor, as the surgery does not eliminate the main, it does not eliminate the causes of varicose veins.

One of the main is valve damage and increased blood viscosity or thickening.Just talk, "thick blood."Until you overcome the cause, drug therapy, or surgery will not have a continuous effect.

That's why:

1. In the first place is the struggle against blood condensation.
2. Often, female hormones and contraceptives take varicose veins.It is necessary to review the medications taken and, if necessary, replace it with others.
3. One of the reasons is increased pressure in the stomach cavity, more often due to problems with the intestines (constipation, cramps) or pathological changes in the liver.Treatment should start by solving this problem.
4. Pressure in the abdominal cavity increases and during pregnancy in the second half.This should be taken into account.In this case, it is difficult to solve problems with medicines, so you can only wear linen from compression knitwear.
5. The big problem is overweight!And it's worth paying higher attention to this.It should be determined what is the cause: lifestyle or some hormone diseases.Lose weight in the power of people.Just want it, and everything will succeed.

To make a strict diagnosis, the ultrasound study of the vein system is strict.It will allow to assess the state of the valve, the blood vessel wall and the onset of the appearance of blood release to the surface, determining the focus of surgery.Ultrasound is made in a standing position to get as close as possible to the functional state of the vein system.

Today, a large number is recommended for the treatment of varicose veins.The internet is full of names and recipes for traditional medicine.People who are not prepared cannot make the right choice.

• Flavonoid -based preparations.There are many of them.Approaching in one case, they can be completely inactive.To decide what formula is right for you.The first advantage of this group is a more careful attitude, but this is an individual.There are also side effects, less clear, but just like in the first version.
• Horse chestnut preparation.They exist in the form of drops and tablets.The ingredients that form the growth -The growth helps strengthen the blood vessel wall, helps fight blood clots, and also lower blood viscosity, that is, dilute it.The drugs are cheap, but they are weaker than the previous one described.

All of these drugs combine a long-term treatment course, and they must be repeated regularly (3 times a year 3-4 weeks).
Patients are presented with a large list of ointments and gels for local local treatment.As a rule, ointment and gel will not solve this problem, but it can facilitate its travel.Which one is better?A better gel.They have a cooling effect and better suck!
