Small pool varicose vein in men

Under the influence of various factors, the pelvic venous vessels can deform, leading to impaired blood flow, with consequent consequences. The risk of developing pathological changes increases with age. In men, pelvic varicose veins can be disguised under certain diseases, such as varicocele or hemorrhoids. Conservative treatment is possible with minimal symptoms; advanced cases require surgery.

Characteristics of the disease

When it comes to pelvic varicose veins (VVVMT), changes in vascular architecture and the presence of venous congestion can be assumed. Pathology is also referred to in medicine as chronic pelvic pain syndrome, venous congestion syndrome.

the cause of pelvic varicose veins in men

A feature of BPHMT is that it is quite difficult to diagnose at an early stage. Varicose vein formation is caused by the development of venous valve insufficiency and the occurrence of congestion, which is the result of venous bed occlusion (partial or complete), vascular compression, and deterioration of their tone.

Statistics show that deformities in the veins of the male genitals are somewhat less common in women than varicose veins in the pelvis.

The violation may take the following form:

  • chronic prostatitis;
  • varicocele (recurrent, bilateral);
  • veno-occlusive erectile dysfunction;
  • hemorrhoids (internal / external);
  • varicose veins of the lower limbs;
  • Combinations of the listed pathologies
  • .

An inaccurate diagnosis of a patient's condition can cause treatment difficulties, while the risk of relapse increases significantly.

Factors provoking the disease

Many patients have inherited vascular problems. Weak blood vessels require more attention to their own health. Otherwise, varicose veins in the pool vessels cannot be ruled out. Pathology can also be acquired in nature.

The disease is usually caused by:

  1. Vascular disorders (portal hypertension, May-Turner syndrome, arteriovenous conflicts).
  2. Connective tissue dysplasia.
  3. Formation of neoplasms.
  4. Behavioral habits (low physical activity, misuse of junk food, lack of regular sexual intercourse, excessive physical exertion).

The genetic predisposition of varicose veins does not yet indicate its development. The likelihood of venous damage is significantly reduced if a man prefers a healthy lifestyle.

Classification

The pelvis is a 3-degree varicose vein that occurs in men.

The definition of the section depends on the diameter of the vessels involved:

  • for grade 1 BPHMT, this value shall not exceed 0, 5 cm;
  • 2-degree pathology is accompanied by an increase in the diameter of the veins up to 1 cm;
  • when you enter stage 3, the pointer is greater than 1 cm.

Based on the origin, the disease is classified into primary (congenital) and secondary classes.

Symptoms

Clinical manifestations of VVMT in men are not detectable in the initial phase.

If there is no treatment for a long time, the symptoms develop as follows:

  • painful sensations in the lower abdomen and perineum;
  • increased pain after exercise, sex and bowel movements (if the patient is constipated)
  • swelling of the scrotum and perineum;
  • dysuric disorders (urinary disorders).

Discomfort often increases when a person changes body position. With VVMT, pain radiates to the lower back or thigh. The more it affects the veins, the more likely it is to develop dysuria.

Diagnostics

diagnosis of pelvic varicose veins

There are several diagnostic methods available:

  • TRUSI;
  • Ultrasound examination of pelvic veins;
  • dopplerography;
  • pharmacocavernosography (PCG).

The patient should undergo both a coagulogram and a spermogram. If a sexually transmitted disease is suspected, a PCR diagnosis is performed.

The patient should be examined by an andrologist and phlebologist to accurately diagnose the disease.

Treatment of ERCT in men

If symptoms are not seen in the affected veins, the doctor may prescribe preventive treatment with a mandatory check on the patient's condition.

Usage required:

  • phlebotonics (synthetic, of plant origin);
  • anticoagulants;
  • vitamins;
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (used to treat painful discomfort).

Conservative methods are also recommended for elderly patients, especially in the absence of severe symptoms.

Medications selected by your doctor will help strengthen blood vessel walls and improve hemodynamic parameters.

Methods of surgical treatment

If the disease progresses over a long period of time and is accompanied by various unpleasant symptoms, a decision is made to perform surgical treatment. When choosing the method of surgery, the practitioner will take into account the patient's age, state of health and the presence of concomitant pathologies.

Surgery, especially endovascular surgery, is indicated for patients who:

  • intensive clinical manifestations;
  • bilateral varicocele (recurrent);
  • prostate varicose veins;
  • Compression of the hip veins.

In addition, the violation can be corrected by angioplasty, stenting, vascular embolization.

Folk remedies

Traditional medicine can be used to relieve symptoms and speed up the healing of affected veins. However, you should not use natural remedies without first consulting your doctor.

List of potential recipes:

recipes of traditional medicine for the treatment of pelvic varicose veins
  1. Pour chopped ginger (4 tablespoons) and lemon zest with 1 liter of boiling water. After cooling, honey is added to the infusion (2-3 tablespoons L. ). The drink is used instead of tea.
  2. The horse chestnuts (200 g) are crushed and filled with 1 liter of vodka. The product is infused for 7 days in a dark place. Recommended dosage: 10 drops 3-4 times a day for one month.
  3. Pour the chopped oak, willow and chestnut branches (1 tablespoon each) into a pot, pour in 1 liter of boiling water and place on low heat. Half an hour after boiling, the broth is taken out of the stove and cooled. Chamomile, twine, dried cress and St. John's wort (1 teaspoon each) are then added. The duration of the infusion is 12 hours. A little honey should be added to the filtered drug.

Dosing schedule: the first 2 days - three times 50 ml, the next 2 days - 100 ml, then increase the dose to 150 ml. The duration of therapy is 20 days, followed by a 10-day break.

Daily consumption of blueberries as well as pollen is helpful in improving the condition of blood vessels.

When using folk remedies, it is important to understand that only the main course is supplemented, so it is not desirable to reject medications prescribed by a doctor.

Prognosis and possible complications

The best prognosis for treatment will be in the initial phase of VVMT. If the disease develops for a long time, accompanied by characteristic symptoms, it is often only possible to cope with surgery.

Medications can alleviate the discomfort caused by venous deformities and reduce the risk of unwanted consequences.

Patients should be aware that even surgery does not guarantee the absence of relapses. If the man continues to follow the old way of life, the disease is likely to return.

In other words, good results are expected with the treatment:

  • timely completion of therapy;
  • strict adherence to medical recommendations;
  • behavioral correction.

If the varicose veins in the pelvis are affected by varicose veins, the patient is at risk of:

  • infertility;
  • deterioration of spermatogenesis indices;
  • diffuse changes in the prostate parenchyma;
  • erectile dysfunction.

The likelihood of vascular deformity, thrombus formation and migration, thromboembolism increases with massive bleeding until the vein ruptures. Such complications are fatal to the patient (occurring in 5% of cases).

Preventive measures

In order for the stronger sex to avoid venous damage and the above consequences, they should be regularly involved in prevention.

Follow these simple rules to protect yourself from an unpleasant illness:

  1. Nicotine severely damages blood vessels and the body as a whole, so you should stop smoking forever. Alcohol consumption should be minimized or eliminated.
  2. One of the common causes of VVMT is a sedentary lifestyle. It is necessary to avoid long stays in a static position, get out more often for a walk. For office workers who are forced to sit at the computer all the time, it is helpful to warm up periodically.
  3. An important element of the list of recommendations is nutritional correction. Doctors always advise to exclude harmful products from the menu, giving up overeating. The food consumed should be rich in vitamins, minerals and many other valuable substances, thanks to which the dishes remain strong and flexible.
  4. You should refrain from excessive physical exertion.
  5. Regular sexual intercourse without interruption has a positive effect on blood vessels.
  6. If you have had surgery, you should wear compression stockings. Medical underwear is selected based on certain parameters. In addition, you should take the venotonics prescribed by your doctor. If necessary, the specialist will adjust the dose or prescribe a more appropriate treatment.
  7. In order to maintain the health of the venous vessels, it is recommended to take time each day to perform therapeutic exercises.

Regular medical check-ups are of little importance, allowing you to detect any abnormalities in a timely manner and begin therapy. The earlier the disease is detected, the easier it is to cope. Severe cases require long-term treatment.

Varicose veins can be eliminated by conservative methods without severe symptoms. A neglected disease is fought with the help of a surgery, and even after surgical manipulations, the pathology can appear.

Prevention can minimize the risk of ERCT, which includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
