The disease with "the wide geography", that is diagnosed, more than half of the inhabitants of the earth – varicose veins of the lower limbs.
Varicose veins due to strong noise in the system of outflow of venous blood in the foot area, or overflow, and vascular occlusion, result in the development of the degradation processes in the venous walls. This process encourages the failure of the auction system and connective tissue weakness of the veins.
That the "root of evil"?
The huge vast system of storage tanks containing superficial and deep venous vessels, provides blood to the heart of man. Connect between them a sort of alarm system ensures a timely recovery of the blood.
The main load to ensure the movement is represented, deep vein blood, due to his size and strength. And only a small loading dose of take on surface vessels.
The heart as a pump "pushes" the blood vascular education. Under certain load conditions (the way of man, squat, etc) the heart, for his push in the veins, exceeds the gravitational force (gravity). When the muscle tissue of the foot relaxed (with a weak natrenirovannosti or at rest), under the weight of gravity the blood, drops rapidly on foot.
The presence on the walls of the veins special pockets, contributes to the rod functions, and prevents the circulation of the blood. The value of the valves of the system is very large, plays the role of shot, and any damage resulting from interruption of the blood flow and increase the flow of blood, drop to the bottom.
This causes a stagnation of blood in the veins, their extent, and the inflammation, swelling, and cones, the failure of the auction system is not able to stop the increased of vienna. Live – the circulation in the limbs, and the veins and venous extension.
Causes of varicose veins
The disease has two forms of development – primary and secondary. The genesis primary varicose legs headed by venous disease of the walls:
- reduction of their tone;
- loss of elasticity;
- increased intravenous pressure;
- nodular formations advanced ships.
In the development of these diseases is not the last role-playing game:
- genetic predisposition;
- advanced age;
- overweight and injury;
- big load on the veins of the legs.
Trigger the development of disease can be sudden load on the legs and overvoltage, pregnancy and childbirth. The consequence of these factors, in most cases, to become the largest intravenous pressure to the extremities and damage to the valve unit.
The reason secondary form – post-thrombotic varicose due to pathological processes in multiple vascular system of the legs in the form of:
- thrombosis, migrated in the primary phase of the disease;
- congenital cardiac dysplasia, and fistulas in the arteries and veins;
- syndrome, Parkes-Weber;
- tumors and lesions;
- the immunological and neuroendocrine violations.
A further factor in the development of varicose veins in women can be oral contraceptives cause hormonal imbalance. A direct dependency is not confirmed, but because of their admission, may develop complicated processes already existing pathology, due to varicose veins of the limbs.
The initial signs of varicose veins on the legs are not specific and are few. Much is expressed in the veins, varicose veins, syndrome, pain in the legs when loads, accompanied by hillocks and burning of the affected areas.
A common phenomenon – tiredness of legs, swelling in the back area of the stop and the ankles. Appears pain syndrome, painful nature, the current movement in venous vessels.
Usually a symptom of the initial stage of the disease is that the pain and the swelling are expressed stronger in the evening and in the morning there are. Changes visible veins at the beginning of the disease does not occur. The patient may experience, only a great tiredness.
- Progresses the disease slowly develop in the course of the years. The lack of a timely treatment can occur in chronic venous insufficiency.
The symptoms of varicose veins of the legs - 7 signs
The main symptoms of varicose veins on the legs and are characterized by:
1. The external changes of the blood vessels. The shape and configuration of the deep and subcutaneous blood – the most obvious symptom of varicose veins. Notes saccular or uniform patches of thickening of the blood vessels with a nodular formations and the location of a club.
Become purple or cyanotic color. Not previously evident small blood vessels, emerge to the surface in the form of a vascular network. Often, these changes manifest themselves on the leg and in the internal area of the foot.
2. Pain syndrome. Usually, the manifestation of the calf. With the development of the disease, become stronger and accompanied by muscle spasms of the calf, orthostatic disease – cure and care of pain in the supine position and the recovery, when you switch to the standing position.
Painful palpation in the absence of visible changes, confirming the fact of pathological changes in the deep-lying blood vessels.
3. Edema. The event of swelling in the legs, in the process of varicose veins – symptoms characteristic. Manifests the localization on the lower third of the tibia, and arrests. In this case, in the projection of defeat you experience a severe itching of the skin.
If during the night the swelling persists, it is an alarm bell that signals the final stage of the progression of the disease (stage of decompensation). In such a situation, you should exclude the accession of the infection and not to lose the development of venous ulcers.
4. Itching of the skin, which manifests itself before the development of the brightest signs of varicose veins, you already arose the expressed disorders of the venous outflow.
5. Hyperpigmentation, occurs on a bright background of clinical signs. The skin in the area damaged veins, their movement and close to places of injury and damage, exposed hardening (compaction), to become dark blue, occurs thinning of surface epithelium and atrophy of the subcutaneous tissue of the structure.
6. Hyperemia – the constant feeling of freezing limbs, fingers and feet.
7. The development of open venous ulcers is considered complicated option of varicose veins, or as a result of changes to specific areas of the skin in the last stage of the disease.
Different people, and the disease proceeds in a different way, according to the characteristics of the individual, position, or venous vessels (surface or deep).
Then the most dangerous "pitfalls" of varicose veins, it is his subtle, asymptomatic, and can manifest itself once you start the stage.
To which specialist doctor to consult?
During the event, also the initial signs of the disease, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately. In fact, in the initial phase, the development of the disease it is still possible to stop the drug therapy. The treatment of varicose veins in the legs and provides a medical.

There are a lot of plants for the treatment of varicose veins on the legs in the early stages of the disease. Here include drug therapy or different procedures, mini-invasive technologies.
First of all, this is a compression garment (socks, pantyhose, tights, stockings, knee-length) and elastic bandage. When squeezed in some muscle groups, there is an improvement in the blood circulation and reduce the process of stagnation of blood. This technique excludes the further expansion of the blood vessels and the development of thrombosis.
Up to now, perfect drugs by varicose veins, that have influenced all of the links pathogenetic process of the development of disease – no. In most cases, to apply a specific therapy. In part to stop the development process in the early stages of the conservative treatment possible, but already available with the nodal education drugs it is not possible to remove.
Drugs for the treatment of varicose veins of the legs
1. The main assigned drugs that can restore vascular tone, remove the venous stasis and improve microcirculation in the tissues in the form of sprays, gels, tablets and ointments.
2. To prevent the development of thrombosis prescribers, with the inclusion of heparin, perfectly thinning the blood.
3. To reduce inflammation, swelling and pain, often are assigned to special gels sprays and ointments from varicose veins.
Immediate intervention
If it is running a process of varicose veins on the legs, the operation can not be avoided. Modern techniques such as minimally invasive and radically different from the old methods. Differ small traumatism and lack of expressed pain. This:
- the technique is mini-invasive procedure to remove the pathology of venous return;
- multiple modification of procedures, chosen on the basis of the current pathology;
- the technique of sclerotherapy, based on the size of the blood circulation method to the aggregation of the venous walls;
- closing the venous lacunae laser coagulation;
- treatment of varicose veins large vessels ablation method;
- and combined technique, sclerotherapy and other procedures.
The method of treatment is chosen taking into account the clinical picture. Therefore, it is very important to consult a doctor in time. Should not hope for the effectiveness of different methods of treatment at home.
You are only able to reduce the severity of the symptoms, but they are not able to cure completely. The most effective tools, employees in addition to medical therapy are:

- compresses and rubbing the affected veins apple cider vinegar;
- lotions and compresses of tincture of yogurt with wormwood;
- anklets bathroom lotions and blue clay;
- the consumption of grape juice or wine of red grapes.
And it certainly will not hurt anyone, recommended, and selected by a special doctor, PHYSIOTHERAPY exercises.
The prevention of varicose veins
