This is due to the deterioration in the motility of blood vessels, reduced their tone, which causes stagnation of venous blood in the lower extremities and perineum.
With timely diagnosis and adherence to doctor's recommendations disease does not assume the likelihood of complications.
Causes of varicose veins on labia
The main causes for the occurrence of varicose veins on labia a few:
- the increase in the concentration of progesterone in the blood. This hormone is responsible for the preparation of the uterus for gestation, reduces flexibility, and stimulates vitality. Similar action is exerted on the blood vessels;
- violation of the elastic arteries of the lower extremities;
- a significant increase in blood volume. This creates the veins located in the lower extremities and groin area, the additional mechanical load;
- pressure on the blood vessels to increase the volume of the womb (during pregnancy). Some of the vessels, which are compressed and impairs blood flow, disturbed vascular valves responsible for preventing the reverse flow of blood. According to this, and appears stagnant.
Unfortunately, to predict in advance the occurrence of varicose veins is not possible, because much depends on the General condition of the heart and the circulatory system of the patient, as well as the concentration of progesterone in the blood. As practice shows, such deterioration often occur after the age of 40and during pregnancy.
This is IMPORTANT! Doctors also point to the fact that the varicose veins after the labia is a result of insufficient physical activity of women during pregnancy. In the early stages, it really is recommended to avoid stress, to move less, but from the second trimester to the long walks required. If not – no stimulation of the cardiovascular system and as a result – stagnation.
In other cases, varicose veins are often called "professional" disease. This happens for those who a large part of the day is "legs". For those, for example, include the salesgirls in the stores, operating nurses, dentists, hairdressers.
Constant muscle tension causes the curvature of the vessel, followed by suspension. This may happen in the perineum and lower extremities. Depending on the condition of the heart and the circulatory system in these areas.
Symptoms
The key symptoms of varicose veins on the labia is the emergence of a visually visible red or blue veins in the subcutaneous layer. It just shows the presence of reverse blood flow, stagnation and partial atrophy of the walls of the vessel.
Initially occur in the region of the perineum, and after a certain period of time (increase the load) to increase the volume and labia. Most often only one, but there are cases, and bilateral varicose veins.
What is happening at the moment in the body? The veins in the groin significantly reduces the speed of blood flow.
Pressure on the walls of blood vessels, increases from the inside and those that are expanding.
Become thinner, which causes the risk for fracture.
All this is in addition to disorders of the valves. Ones, due to the strong pressure on them not to block the blood vessels in the process of relaxation of the heart muscle and blood easily flows in the opposite direction.
Once again, this creates tension, stretching the walls of its curvature.
In these places the probability of clotsthat can completely block the vessel and cause its atrophy.
This is IMPORTANT! Upon the occurrence of the first signs of varicose veins touch the woman feels nothing. With the worsening of symptoms – there is discomfort, pain and sharp pressure of walking and tension of the muscles of the vagina.
How dangerous are varicose veins?
Varicose dangerous to the detection of internal bleeding upon rupture of the venous walls. All this is in addition to psychological factors, as visually the labia become large and unsightly. This may provoke the formation of an inferiority complex, and dysfunction of the reproductive system.
Especially dangerous are varicose veins in pregnant women, childbirth and prenatal contractions (especially if an important opening of the cervix) may become a provoking factor for the rupture of the blood vessels. If this happens, then the likelihood of internal bleeding.
In the case of a premature detection of varices is a high likelihood of atrophy of the vessels. Cease to circulate in the blood and aktiviziruyutsya the process of resorption in the vein. If the circulation is greatly weakened, it is probably necessary to amputate the damaged labia.
Treatment of varicose veins on labia
Today, there are more effective ways of treatment of varicose veins:
- conservative therapy. Involves taking medicines that encourage the functioning of the heart, as well as for wearing compression underwear. This is complemented with physical therapy;
- surgical. Not live the blood vessels are completely removed through the incision in the perineum;
- stitching. The damaged vessels in the early stages of the disease are blocked with the help of laser cauterization. Over time is to dissolve and in their place appear new.
Conservative treatment is desirable, but to allow its use only in the early stages of varicose veins, when the labia are not increasing in size, which shows the lack of total blockade. The doctor prescribes stimulants are those drugs, which prevent thrombosis.
The wearing of compression underwear is to support the vessels of the lower limbs in its initial state, when there is no curvature. Promotes good blood circulation and lowers blood pressure. The rate of processing is determined at the discretion of the physician.
Surgical technique the most radical and is used when the risk of opening internal bleeding. Used in the back row, when there is a possibility of atrophy of the labia.
But laser treatment is a relatively new variation of treatment with minimal trauma. Here are the tools necessary for its implementation, in most public hospitals there.
Together, varices of the labia – it is a violation of the cardiovascular system due to the deterioration of elastics. If caught early, responds to conservative treatment. This is particularly dangerous for pregnant women because there is a risk of internal bleeding during childbirth.
