The pathological changes in the structure of the venous vessels cause varicose veins, due to which their patency occur, the elasticity worsens and the walls of the walls and the formation of specific knots.
Different types of varicose veins are distinguished:
- lower end;
- rectum;
- seed cord;
- Small basin.
In everyday life, the "varicose" expression was firmly resolved, but in official medicine there is no such a thing and a diagnosis, since we are talking about varicose veins.
Symptoms and signs
The disease that spreads in the lower limbs is accompanied by symptoms:
- the formation of varicose veins, which have emitted above the surface of the skin, which represent nodal seals;
- Swelling in the legs, accompanied by a sensation of gravity, which is concentrated in the ankles area. Often it becomes a consequence of a long load during the day and manifests itself in the evening;
- A periodic pain in the legs appears;
- From time to time, convulsions in the calf muscles and the feeling of managing goosebumps usually at night;
- The advanced phase stands out for the pronounced trophic disorders of the skin of the lower third of the lower part of the leg: pigmentation, seal, dermatitis and as an extreme manifestation - an ulcer trophic.
The consequence of the development of the varicose veins of the rectum is the aspect of hemorrhoids. Is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- itching, burning, discomfort in the anus, in particular intensify after drinking alcohol, taking a bath or physical activity;
- bleeding in the subsequent stages of various degrees of intensity;
- Inflammation and loss of hemorrhoids.
Phases
The development of varicose veins of the lower ends passes three phases.
Important! In the first manifestations of the varicose veins, the role of medical and preventive measures is important, during their implementation, the possibility of preventing the further development of the disease increases significantly.
Varicosis in the initial phase of the event is highlighted by the feeling of gravity, swelling and painful pain in the legs. During this period, it is necessary to immediately start preventive measures: a massage course, swimming, the use of special legs, since all this is effective to prevent the development of varicose veins only at the beginning.
- Phase I. The aspect of gravity in the legs, their edema, the characteristic painful pain, the formation of vascular stars, the knotted veins, which are visible through the skin. Leg cramps and burn in the IKR area and stop can be added to this.
- Phase II. A significant increase in the size and number of knots and stars, which become more evident. The swelling of the legs is more pronounced. Strengthen pain syndrome.
- Phase II. Change the structure of the surface of the skin: the appearance of dryness, the formations of the age. A significant increase in venous nodes, thinning of the walls of the blood vessels, which increases the risk of bleeding even with slight injuries.
Complications (consequences) of varicose veins
Varicosa disease can lead to serious complications. In the last phase of the development of varicose veins, the extreme thinning of the walls of the vessels, in this regard, is observed, the risk of trophic ulcers - they open poorly healed wounds on the vessels that also occur with minor trauma.
The result of the breaking of the varicose node is the development of thrombophlebitis. During the apparition, that the formation of thrombosis occurs with the inflammation of the venous wall and a blood clot are formed, which covers its light.
With the development of acute thrombophlebitis, serious pains appear in the thrombus veins area and body temperature, accompanied by creepy, increases. With thrombophlebitis of surface veins, painful seals are characteristic with redness of the skin along the veins. The thrombophlebitis of deep veins is accompanied by edema of the limbs due to a strong violation of the venous outflow.
Varicose veins in women
Many women face varicose veins. This is due to the preparation of women to the disease due to the characteristics of the female hormonal system. Furthermore, in most cases pregnancy and childbirth become the causes of varicose veins, since there is an effect of an increase in loading and increased blood flow to the pelvic organs. In addition to the varicose veins of the lower ends in women, the varicose veins in the perineum, which affect the external genitals, often develop, which is a consequence of the congenital or acquired weakness of the vascular wall and the insufficiency of the valve. The effect of external static stress (prolonged, of significant physical activity) or internal factors (in excess of body weight, disease of the pelvic organs in chronic form) leads to the formation of varicose veins.
Important! The question of the influence of oral contraceptives and hormonal substitute therapy remains open.
The development of varicose veins during pregnancy
The bearing of each subsequent pregnancy strongly increases the possibilities of developing venous insufficiency in women and the formation of varicose veins. This is due to hormonal changes in the body of a woman and a significant increase in the load on the veins. The main task of a woman during this period is compliance with preventive measures in order to avoid the development of varicose veins. If there is a predisposition and there are signs of the initial development of varicose veins, the consultation and observation of a phlebologist are necessary for all pregnancy. Preventive measures must be integrated by the use of compression linen, in some cases it must be dressed for the birth period. For this, special models are available.
Varicose veins in men
Varicosa disease is often found in men in the form of varicocele veins - varicose of the seed cord. Symptoms of the disease:
- Pain in the testicle and a sense of heaviness, a scrotum, along the cord of the seed, which intensifies with physical effort and prolonged position;
- During the palpation of the scrotum, the veins of the crowd of the seed cordon are determined.
The development of the varicocele causes male infertility due to circulatory disorders and concomitant pathological changes in the normal functioning of the testicles:
- There is an increase in temperature in the testicle with body temperature. The high temperature affects spermatogenesis;
- Hyposia (hunger for oxygen, ischemia) of the testicle;
- The accumulation of free radicals in the Ovice fabrics that violate their activity.
The treatment of varicose veins in men consists of a surgical operation in the presence of indications: pain in the testicle, infertility, aesthetic defect in the scrotum, lack of growth of the testicle interested during puberty. However, the disease can occur asymptomatic and not cause significant discomfort to a man. In teenagers and children, during the diagnosis of varicles, surgery is needed at any phase of the disease, this avoids further development of infertility. The operations are performed both in the usual open and endoscopic way. It is possible to perform a mini -accessibility surgery and microchirurgical witness of the testicle.
Varicosis of the pelvis
Varicose veins can occur in the basin. In this form, it is found in most cases in women, which is associated with the characteristics of the blood flow to the female body. The expansion of the veins causes a sense of pain and severity in the pelvis, which can be caused by venous stagnation.
The development of varicose veins of the small basin occurs for several reasons:
- pregnancy and childbirth;
- change in the form of the uterus;
- lift and wear weights;
- hereditary predisposition;
- lack of physical activity;
- Sedentary work;
- Reception of oral contraceptives.
If there are risk factors and symptoms of the disease, it is necessary to undergo an examination. In the early stages, you can identify the varicose veins of the small basin with ultrasound diagnosis. Preliminary diagnosis is also possible for a gynecological examination during the standard procedure. The treatment of the disease includes the intake of venotonic drugs, the use of a special compression linen and the implementation of medical and preventive gymnastics. It is also necessary to exclude risk factors and is regularly observed in a gynecologist. With the ineffectiveness of conservative treatment methods, surgery is indicated.
Treatment of varicose veins
The therapeutic measures for varicose veins consist of conservative pharmacological treatment methods and subsequent phases - surgery. In the early stages and the first signs of the varicose veins, the assumption of winewters is recommended. As preventive measures, elastic bandaging, wearing compression knitwear and restriction of physical activity in all phases of the disease.
In the following phases, the intake of drugs and ointments with varicose veins is prescribed:
- Improve blood microcirculation;
- increase the circulation of venous blood;
- contributing to the unloading of the central veins.
The subsequent phases show phlebectomy, surgical removal of pathologically altered veins, as well as sclerotherapy - the administration of special drugs that sclerosis has damaged the veins, thus preventing their participation in the venous outflow.
It should be noted that we have already written in detail on which compression linen, but at the moment only the treatment method has established itself as the most effective.
Domestic treatment
Gel and special ointments can alleviate the pain in the legs caused by varicose veins. It is unlikely that they get rid of the varicose veins, given the local effect and the weak penetration through the skin, but will relieve the symptoms of the disease and relieve the condition.
