There are two main methods of treatment of varicose veins:
- Conservative,
- Operation.
Type of treatment depends on the stage of the disease.In the legs, local lesions, areolated in patients with vascular nets or small-caliber lesions in the form of small caliber lesions, as well as local lesions, non-politicals are used.
Large trunks of vascular vessels such as a large or small subcutaneous vascular are used in large arms and operating methods in the thigh and sub-leg.
What cases can be treated conservatively in varicose veins?
Any form of varicose veins require conservative treatment.While large subcutaneous vessels are not affected, there is only one disease of small vessels in the skin of the vascular nets or stars, is a conservative approach to the treatment.If the disease affects larger subcutaneous vessels then it is used in addition to the conservative treatment operating management.
Features of conservative treatment of varicose veins
The conservative treatment of varicose veins includes the following components:
- Drug therapy.
- Changing risk factors for varicose veins.
- The use of compression knitting wear or elastic bandages.
- Sclerotherapy.
How can you behave with risk factors of varicose veins?
The treatment of varicose veins should begin to eliminate the risk factors of the disease:
- Fight against hypodynamia, swimming, cycling, escape, sports walking, ski, etc.As mobile sports.
- High position of legs during rest
- Body weight control
- Static loads, heavy physical labor, often exposure to high temperatures - to take a hot bath by visiting the sauna.
- Refuse to take hormonal contraceptives
- Refuse to wear high heeled shoes (more than 5-6 cm)
Compression knitting
Use of elastic bandages during compression knitting or static loads, I.E.Stay in a state of permanent or sitting is an integral part of the treatment of varicose veins.Many patients should apply a flexible bandage to many patients, pulling a supple or vice versa by applying an elastic dressing of many patients.
Compression knitting is selected separately and has a level of compression by the manufacturer and the most physiology of the limbs.Medical compression products (tights, socks, golfers) have several compression classes.Type of compression is determined by the patient's examination by the patient and the instrumental examination if necessary.
- I used to prevent varicose veins,
- II - with existing signs of the disease,
- III - in a complex varicose veins (trophical ulcer, hyperpigmentation).
The only significant restriction in the use of compression knitting is difficult to wear.Therefore, it is advisable to use a special device - a special device to facilitate the shooting process of the knitting clothes.The compression knitting, the diameter of the extremity (non-fixed leg configuration) or has other restrictions in its use - need to use medium or short-level elastic bandages.
Pharmaceutical treatment of varicose veins
Patients suffering from varicose veins are recommended to hold preventive courses regularly with drugs.These drugs are used for at least 1 year in 2-3 months a year.In summer.Drug therapy does not heal the patient with the already developed Varicosis, but it allows you to reduce patient complaints related to violence and fatigue in their feet.
Preparations also reduce the pace of the progress of the disease, I.E.The development of further development of varicose veins protects healthy veins.The most effective treatment, tablets, capsules or drops in the form of drugs.The use of drugs is less effective in the form of gels, ointments, creams, or aerosols, while using the symptoms of the disease at a time, and therefore, it is used as a first aid when there is a sense of anxiety, violence or fatigue.
Sklerotherapy for varicose veins
Sclerotherapy is a method of treatment of varicose veins in varicose veins of a special drug.
After introducing the ship, he is stuck with each other, and "to turn off" the ship, I.E.Carpet varicose veins occur.As a result, blood is redirected to healthy veins and glue veins are "extinguished" from the blood circulation.
Sclerotherapy is an outpatient procedure that can be carried out without hospitalization in the hospital.After each session of sclerotherapy, you need to wear tnit dresses or elastic bandages compression for a few days or weeks.In the event of damaging large arteries, sclerotherapy does not give a valid long result and glue veins often reappear.Only in patients who damaged small venous ships are very effective in contrast to this technique.Therefore, most commonly used for "Intradermal Varicosis" is used for the most commonly used "intradermal varicose", it is only demonstrated by small-diameter veins, vascular mesh or stars.
Complications after sclerotherapy
After sclerotherapy, the complications are extremely rare (less than 1%).The type of main complications is the darkening of the skin in the area.Several months and in some cases can be saved forever.Other, more rare complications are possible - the skin necrosis etc.
