In the following article: modern methods of treatment of varicose veins, the hype and the facts, a test for predisposition to the disease.
Faced with varicose veins, it should be understood that the greatest risk is in its complications. To keep them dilated surface veins that have lost their original function and pose a threat to life.
Stretched veins will not come back to normal and will disappear with the help of tablets, ointments, herbs, and more conspiracy and other non-traditional methods of treatment.
Complete treatment of varicose veins is possible only with the elimination of varicose veins and venous use. Some alternative therapies can provide only the prevention of disease, relieve pain, slow the progression of varicose veins.
Welcome to the website devoted to the phenomenon of sleep and quality of life. I hope the information was useful.
Modern medicine and vascular surgery to date, are the only solution and come with effective cosmetic and surgical treatments. However, everything is fine.
With the intake of internal medicines you can get rid of varicose veins forever
Fact. Modern pharmaceutical market offers a wide choice of medicines. They all have similar substance (plant flavonoids), and low effectiveness and side effects. A tonic for the blood vessels will not save you from varicose veins, but from the weight, swelling and night cramps are very possible.
Creams and gels that will treat varicose veins
Fact. Vendors and manufacturers promise high efficiency, it should be understood that the gels and creams, does not eliminate the varicose veins. Its massage stimulates the outflow of venous, acts as a gentle massage and has a calming effect on the skin in the initial stage of the disease.
With varicose veins running, some creams and ointments can cause dermatitis and allergic reaction, which exacerbates the problem. Thrombophlebitis prescribed the use of heparin means that the dilution of the blood and helps to remove inflammation.
Thank you for the active the very popular gels and creams with leeches. According to doctors, a shaman, these products do not respect neither the leeches nor medication. Waste of money and time, is the place self-hypnosis.
Leeches treatment of varicose veins
Fact. The saliva of leeches rich hirudin that thins the blood. This fact is the main reason why ignorant people resort to leeches for varicose veins, confused with thrombophlebitis.
Blood thinners do not affect the varicose veins that causes the increase of the venous lumen and the valve insufficiency. On the danger posed by such treatment, a quiet.
The outcome of the treatment can be skin pigmentation at the site of the bites, prolonged bleeding from wounds. This is the best. In the worst — develop dermatitis, limfostazom, PHLEBOTHROMBOSIS, and even gangrene of the limb.
In the composition of the saliva of leeches a lot of the allergens that can with chronic venous stasis may lead to inflammation and allergic reactions that destroy the skin and aggravating varicose veins.
Phlebology recognize such treatment outright quackery, dangerous to the health of the patient. Leech therapy is particularly contraindicated in ulcers.
Compression socks eliminate the causes of varicose veins and the disease itself
Fact. The use of elastic medical compression shown in the early stages of the disease radical measures. Compression of the dilated varicose veins, promotes a redistribution of blood flow from external the affected veins in the deep, eliminates stagnation of blood in the veins.
While the elastic compression does not solve the cause of the disease, and only simulates the situation when the blood vessels are "sealed" or removed. For the correct size and we recommend wearing can only Phlebology.
Treatment of varicose veins
Today, methods of treatment of varicose veins has been simplified and almost all are performed on an outpatient basis, and if you need treatment in the hospital, just for one or two days. The main types of treatment: sclerotherapy, laser coagulation, radiofrequency ablation, surgery.
Experienced professionals often use several methods at the same time. Consider the most common, their strengths and weaknesses.
Sclerotherapy
This non-surgical method of removing the patients veins. The vessel, which is entered sklerozant, a special liquid preparation of gum, which a vein, which eventually disappears. The blood ceases to flow in the affected area and disseminated through the healthy veins.
Sclerotherapy has been used at the beginning of the last century, now the procedure has become less hazardous and traumatic. Sklerozant enters the patient's vein using thin needles or microcatheters. One session can accommodate up to 4 injections, and the number of sessions is determined by the severity of the disease.
After injection into a patient wears compression socks, so it is recommended to walk (up to 5 hours), to avoid deep vein thrombosis. Elastic compression will be required to wear during the treatment course, and at the end (4 weeks).
Sclerotherapy improves the flow of blood, dilated veins disappear, swelling, pain, cramps and fatigue. Spots that appear on the top to remove the veins eventually pass.
Sclerotherapy includes:
- Itself sclerotherapy
- ECHO-sclerotherapy (injection of a sklerozant right on target, due to the ultrasound to see the vein lumen),
- Foam-form sclerotherapy. Sklerozant change in the foam, which was introduced into the vessel, which allows you to "seal" close even large vessels.
Sclerotherapy provides long-term medical and cosmetic result, and in some cases even life. Only 25% of patients with varicose veins running, can not count on the full recovery. The manifestation of the disease is significantly reduced.
Contra-indications:
- Individual intolerance to sklerozant.
- Having anti-inflammatory and hormonal drugs.
- Excess weight.
- Running cellulite in the affected blood vessels.
- Anti-inflammatory and purulent diseases of the skin on the legs.
- Pregnancy.
- Thrombophlebitis.
Advantages:
- Treatment, which allows you to their way of life.
- Cosmetic effect is immediately noticeable, the scars remain.
- Minimal pain during treatment.
- It is possible to eliminate more of the blood vessels.
Disadvantages:
There is no guarantee lifelong result. To achieve this, you need to begin treatment with the elimination of the causes for varicose veins.
- Wearing compression hosiery, it is possible to withdraw for a short time for hygienic procedures.
Laser treatment — "office surgery"
Photocoagulation — laser treatment of varicose veins to close the lumen. Is the latest development of the German experts called endovenous (intravascular) or endovasal coagulation (EVLT or EVLT). Currently widely used in the leading clinics of Russia and abroad.
With EVLT is "welding" (ablation) of the damaged veins through a high-energy laser without incisions. For thermal laser treatment from inside the vein injected a special fibre with puncture, spasm of the vein, the lumen is closed in it. Vienna is eliminated from the bloodstream, and later replaced by connective tissue.
The degree of impact EVLK on patients veins compared to sclerotherapy and to achieve the effect equivalent to the classical vein removal.
Intravascular coagulation is recognized as a less traumatic and rapid modern way of eliminating varicose veins.
The minimum time spent on operation (about 40 minutes) and recovery (up to 4 hours), local anesthesia — all these factors have led to the treatment of "office surgery". The patient after surgery can leave the clinic on their own, and to return to the workplace.
Pros.
Intravascular laser ablation is a worthy alternative to the surgical procedure:
- Excellent cosmetic effect — during the surgery is not incisions.
- The brevity of EVLT procedure takes less than one hour.
- Fast recovery, which gives you the opportunity to stop work.
- In laser coagulation is controlled by the indications of ultrasound, which improves the quality of care, postoperative complications reduces.
- The absence of hematomas and bruises.
Disadvantages:
- The operation cost is very high
- Large diameter of veins does not eliminate the need for incisions.
- Vienna large diameter, it may fall apart later and back.
VNUS. Radiofrequency ablation
The newest method developed by the international scientific community, to find the most excellent remedy for varicose veins on the legs. In North America and Europe is a method, which is carried out for more than 10 years, in Russia it is put in practice large clinics in the last time.
VNUS — endovasal method, which is used to treat the affected varicose veins large vessels in the trunk. In the puncture injected radio-frequency catheter, "medicandi" in Vienna with microwave exposure. The catheter is a sensor that measured the usability and effectiveness of the thermal effect on the vein wall.
Advantages:
- Ambulatory conditions.
- The local anesthesia.
- Preservation of disability.
- Without incisions.
- Fast recovery of the patient (30 minutes after surgery). In one week you can workout.
- The lack of pain and bruising in most cases.
- High-security.
Disadvantages:
- High costs.
- It can occur in burns that are quick.
- Lower concentration on the day of surgery (you cannot drive a car and engage in other activities that require concentration).
In the United states of america radiofrequency ablation is used much less often than laser photocoagulation. This is due to the high costs to almost the same results. Coagulation gives a higher percentage of the complete disappearance of the veins, due to the launch of a new generation of lasers, which provide higher performance and the absence of hematomas.
Radical methods
At the beginning of thrombophlebitis, eczema, trophic ulcers sclerotherapy and other procedures, bezoperatsionnye, not later. In this case, the doctors were likely to resort to surgical methods, which combines them with sclerotherapy.
Many clinics offer a high-tech microsurgical methods of removal of sick veins, less traumatic (allow one small incision to remove the entire affected veins), do not leave scars and scar tissue, short-term (after 40 minutes the patient can go home).
In the opinion of phlebology, to be afraid of removing varicose veins is not affected. The blood-engorged veins are a serious threat to health and life. After their removal, the circulation of normal, healthy vessels remove excess load.
In short, the article on the modern methods of treatment of varicose veins, we want to offer the Test. Answers to questions will not take more than 5 minutes of your time but will allow you to identify symptoms varicose veins on the legs and the extent of the risk.
