Varicose veins treatment on the legs

Diseases of the lower extremities and veins have been known to mankind from the beginning. Treatment of varicose veins is appropriate for both women and men. The disease is an enlargement of the superficial veins of the lower extremities. This is accompanied by a disturbance in blood flow and a failure of the valves.

There are 4 forms of varicose veins. According to the clinical classification, trouble does not always bother people. In the initial stage, the symptoms are not noticeable or the signs are extremely insignificant. Some of the patients make a sufficient annual visit to the sanatorium and the second has to be treated in a special medical center.

Conservative treatment

Varicose veins are treated under the supervision of a doctor in a specialized center. In selected difficult cases, surgery cannot be avoided, but conservative methods are used in addition to surgery. Only the surgeon can get rid of the advanced stage, but slowing down vascular diseases and improving well-being is possible with conservative methods.

Here are some examples of treating varicose veins. There are two conservative methods:

Compression method

Previously, the lower limbs had to be bandaged with special bandages made of dog hair. Simple options have now been created:

  1. Compression jersey;
  2. Elastic bandages;
  3. Flexible knitting.

Medical centers often use jersey, which can be replaced with bandages - they are cheaper, sometimes better suited for special treatment of varicose veins in the lower extremities. These items are obtained by the patient on their own for treatment and then used at home for preventive purposes or as recommended by the physician. Positive consequences:

  1. Reduction of venous diameter, reflux, ballast blood volume, capillary filtration;
  2. Increasing blood flow rate, venous pump efficiency, resorption, lymphatic drainage;
  3. In some cases, elimination of reflux.

There are many details to consider when selecting compression products. When it comes to bandages, medium and short stretch bandages are used for lower limb diseases. Use of a mixture of allowed bonds, creation of a flexible bond. If we are already at the knitwear (stockings, knee pants, stockings), it is worth buying underwear based on personal parameters.

Medicinal method

There are many medications for the effective treatment of varicose veins. It is not recommended to select medications on your own. It is better to follow your doctor's recommendations so as not to worsen your lower extremities.

The treatment of varicose vein ASD is of great interest in treatment. It is sold in two forms:

  1. Fraction 2 - for external and internal use. The liquid ranges in color from yellowish to dark red and has a characteristic pungent odor.
  2. Fraction 3 - for external use. The liquid has an oily structure and varies in color from dark brown to black.

The fractions differ in the dissolution method. ASD 2 is soluble in water, ASD 3 is only assimilated in oils and alcohols. The second fraction is added to water, mixed and taken orally according to the instructions (15 drops in 100 ml of water / tea twice a day before meals). The use affects the strengthening of the immunity of the vessel walls.

A well-known cure is troxerutin-based ointment for the treatment of varicose veins. The application is intuitive, sometimes a combination of a gel and capsules of the same name is required. If there is no improvement, you may want to contact your nearest clinic or specialist center. The ointment is easy to apply:

  2. After washing, dry your feet with a towel.
  3. The gel is squeezed from the tube to the palm, transferred to the surface of problem areas of varicose veins, diseased blood vessels.

Ointments make it impossible to cure varicose veins. But when using the tools, it should be noted:

Surgical methods

Referring to a clinic is not always a panacea. In the future, we must strive to avoid setbacks, to start a healthy lifestyle that everyone can do. If there are good reasons to have surgery at the medical center, the patient will have one of the possible procedures:

  1. Phlebectomy. It lasts for 1. 5 hours. This consists of removing the veins from the patient. You may need to stay in a sanatorium during the recovery period. There may be a risk of minor scarring, although the surgery is atraumatic.
  2. Sclerotherapy. It is important to walk for an hour after surgery. The method is to insert a vein to deliver an "adhesive" drug. Ultrasonic machine control is required. The method used in specialized centers is very well known in the treatment of blood vessels.
  3. Laser coagulation. This is the latest method to eliminate varicose veins in the legs. After puncture, special anesthesia and endovascular obliteration are performed. A number of requirements are prescribed in the postoperative period. Immediately after the blood clots, the doctor puts on a compression bandage and wears it continuously for 5 days.
  4. Radio frequency coagulation. The method is similar to the previous one. They perform local anesthesia, do not require hospitalization at the clinic, and do not perform incisions. The doctor will act under the supervision of an ultrasound examination.

We recommend that you obey the surgeon. Proper postoperative behavior allows for faster rehabilitation, here conservative healing of the veins in the lower extremities is required.
