Varicosis is a pathological condition, the result of chronic vein deficiency, in which the vein wall becomes thinner, the vein lumen increases and the development of the development aneurysm (node) is formed.Visually, the veins become very swollen, blue, winding.It is characterized by a feeling of severity in the feet and their fatigue, the edema of the feet and feet, the night seizures in the feet.
The cause of varicose veins
It is not possible to name a number of reasons, but there are several factors, which can lead to increased pressure and decreased vein elasticity, as well as valve weakness, as a result, varicose veins develop.
In clinical phlebology, several provocative factors leading to varicose veins are distinguished:
- Work on the feet or stay long in a standing position.
- Use socks with strong elastic bands that squeeze the feet.
- Disadvantages of tissue due to congenital characteristics.
- Direct.The feet have an increase in the whole body.This factor is dangerous for people whose work involves a prolonged position.
- Genetic predisposition.If parents have varicose veins, then a child with a probability of 70% will also have pathological development.True, the risk can be reduced, avoiding their appearance.To do this, you just need to create a provocative factor.With a genetic tendency, varicose veins look very early.
- Live.If a person is not active enough, then the risk of varicose veins increases.Phlebologists call the same "varicose computer" condition.
- Hormone damage and fetal bearing.During pregnancy, varicose veins develop due to increased blood volume, as well as increasing veins in the size of the uterus.In hormone failure, progesterone production and reduction in estrogen synthesis, which increases blood clotting.
- Barriers of blood flow.This condition occurs with the formation of blood clots, the development of the tumor.
- Obesity.Excessive weight increases the burden on the legs, blood circulation deficiency begins, and additional pounds cause increased stomach pressure, which changes blood flow.
- Diabetes.In the case of diseases, high sugar levels begin to damage the vascular system, leading to the formation of blood clots.
- Pressure and nerve disorders affect the blood vessels, leading to the development of varicose veins.
- Alcohol abuse.Alcohol is able to bend the body, and with excessive use, blood thickening, vein blockage and blood flow deficiency begins.
- Unstable nutrition.If the body does not receive vitamins C, E, P, as well as useful trace elements: disturbed blood circulation, the condition of the blood vessels worsen, leading to varicose veins.
- Frequent delay in stools.In this case, stomach pressure increases, and blood flow in the leg is disrupted.
- Kidney and heart pathology.
- Drug overdose to increase blood clotting.
Depending on the cause of the development of the disease, the 3 main stages of varicose veins can be distinguished:
- Compensation.
- Subcompensation.
- Decompensation.
Varicose veins do not apply to serious, but scary pathologies with their complications.
Note!If the disease appears, then it will not pass itself.Soon to appeal to a specialist leading to serious violations, which poses a danger.
The main symptoms of varicose veins
The clinical picture of varicose veins is not difficult, this allows phlebologists to quickly make an initial diagnosis and direct the patient to the instrumental diagnosis.
Among the main signs of varicose development, they distinguish:
- The appearance of swelling in the feet at the end of the day, in the evening.The first symptoms are among the possible, especially when wearing tight shoes.After normal rest in the morning, the swelling disappears.
- Heavy on the feet.One feels not only in severity, but breaks in calves, especially after working days.Symptoms are more frequent in people with inactive work.If you spend walking in the evening and giving a good rest, the signs disappear in the morning, but in the evening they reappear.
- The strong heat on the feet, which is a calf.
- Night tournaments that reduce caviar.
- The appearance of the vascular mesh on the foot ("star" blue-red).
- Increased veins in the feet (as if they were in a hurry on the skin).This feature develops one of the last and talks about clear varicose development.
The symptoms described are subject to mandatory treatment from previously performed, less serious complications will occur.
The complications of varicose veins
With the appearance of varicose veins, the pathology itself will not pass, and without treatment begins to complicate.What is a dangerous varicose vein and what consequences can be against the background of the disease?
The complicated form of varicose veins declare itself through:
- Thrombophlebitis in acute form.
- Trophic ulcer.
- Phlebotrombosis.
- Bleeding.
Progressive disease causes the development of varicothrombophlitis, and then phlebotrombosis.Such states affect deep veins, blood flow to the feet is not only interrupted, but can stop, due to gangrene.
Diagnosis of varicose veins
At the beginning of the development of varicose veins, symptoms are usually not stated, often pain in the feet and other sensations are eliminated on fatigue.
Patients are not resolved to a doctor's visit to the doctor (when the veins begin to swell and this is a significant naked eye).
Diagnostic varicose veins are involved in a specialist photobologist, diagnosis is based on conversations with patients, confrontations, and diagnostic data, in particular ::
- Color duplex exams.Make it possible to measure speed, blood direction.Data allows you to create a blood flow map.
- Phlebo.Show the external features of the veins, valve work.This method is used in extreme cases.
- Diagnostic sample - allows you to determine the vein patency and valve condition.The most common damage is Troyanov.
- Dopplerography - blood flow is carried out in a particular vessel.
The method described is used to diagnose surface and deep veins.
As a result of varicose veins in the feet
The danger is not in the varicose veins itself, but the complications and the subsequent consequences are a real threat to human life.Consider in more detail.
Deflar
This situation involves several development measures.At the beginning of the vein deficiency, change is a non -essential and horizontal venous reflux.
4 stages can be distinguished:
- Zero.No symptom symptoms, only swelling while the feet occur, the veins are slightly significant.
- First.It is accompanied by the development of strong varicose vessels in the feet, but there is no trophic failure.
- The second.The appearance of a clear vein on the feet with a large number of nodes, the feet are affected by eczema, ulcers.
- The third.Continuous trophic violations that cannot be stopped by medicine.
In chronic vein deficiency, the patient occurs in the following symptoms:
- Itching.
- Sore.
- Seizures.
- Swelling.
- Blood stagnation and formation appearance (varicose nodes).
- Ulcer.
Thrombophlebitis
This complication is characterized by the appearance of blood clots that clog the vessels.Blood becomes viscous, leading to complications of flow.The upper part of the lower leg and lower thighs are affected.Phlebologists can easily determine the complications of the specified changes:
- Red.
- Sore.
- Disadvantages.
- Seal tissue.
With the development of thrombophlebitis, many veins are affected, including the pulmonary artery.Thrombophlebitis treatment should be performed without delay in the first symptom, surgery is used as a therapy.
In the early stages, outpatient therapy was performed if the varicose veins had not reached the lower leg.
For treatment, they use:
- Non -steroid drugs to remove inflammation.
- Anticoagulants.
- Angioprotectors.
- Diggarts.
Trophilical ulcer
Trophic ulcers often occur in cases of advanced blood flow when blood flow is very disturbed.Signs -The feature complications:
- Slow formation.
- Dark skin on the feet, severe pigmentation.
Any foot injury can cause damage and rupture of the ulcer.If you provide quick help, then there will be no consequences and the injury will recover quickly, otherwise, tissue inflammation begins, the development of different bacterial infections -different is possible.
For complicated trophic ulcer treatment, surgery is performed.During treatment, the specialist prescribes a bed break for 2 or more weeks.As a conservative treatment, extensive antibiotics, local regeneration and antiseptic drugs are prescribed.
Thromboembolism of pulmonary artery
Thromboembolism is the most dangerous and often deadly consequence.This condition involves the pulmonary artery or its thrombotic branches by the public.
The main risk of development:
- Oncology.
- Carry out surgical intervention.
- Heart failure.
- Thrombophilia.
- Long lying.
Women are more often subject to complications, development may be even in children.You can determine the pulmonary artery thromboembolium with the following symptoms:
- Thoracic pain.
- Temperature growth.
- Tachycardia.
- Expected with blood.
- Cough.
- Rings.
- Dyspnea.
It is not possible to diagnose the disease itself, with suspicion of thromboembolism, the hospital is immediate.
Varicose veins and prevention treatment
To date, several major types of varicose development treatment are used:
- Conservative treatment.This technique depends on the level of the disease.Use drug therapy, vein sclerotherapy, compression treatment.
- Surgical treatment.Some types of operations are included in this method: vein radio frequency, endovenous heat occlusion, varadi operation, and laser freezing.
The essence of prevention is to keep the vessel in a healthy state, as well as prevent venous failure.
Preventive steps are also shown for healthy people who, due to genetics or standing work, may be to develop varicose veins, as well as for those who are already sick with varicose veins.
For prevention purposes, you must:
- To control weight, with obesity in the feet, strong loads are, blood circulation and blood vessels cannot function normally.Applying a diet to reduce mass, the menu should be controlled so that it is correct and full.
- It is appropriate to eat so that there is a product in a diet that strengthens the vascular system and normalizes blood circulation.It should include more plant foods, bread made of coarse flour.
- Carry out moderate physical activity that prevents varicose veins and supports the veins well.Swimming, walking, dancing is ideal.
- Wear free clothes, shoes.
- Use products in the form of ointments and creams that can penetrate tissue with useful ingredients, improve blood circulation, strengthen blood vessels.
Although varicose veins begin to develop, prevention can slow down the development of pathology, reducing the risk of complications.
