Pathological changes in the structure of venous vessels cause a variza, as a result of their forgiveness, elasticity worsen and the walls of the walls and the formation of specific nodes occurs.
Various types of varicose veins are distinguished:
- lower ends;
- straight;
- seed cord;
- Small pelvis.
In everyday life, the expression "Variza" was firmly established, but in official medicine there is no such thing and diagnosis, because we are talking about varicose veins.
Symptoms and signs
The disease that spreads to the lower limbs is accompanied by symptoms:
- The formation of varicose veins, which are emitted above the surface of the skin, representing nodal seals;
- Swelling in the legs, accompanied by a feeling of gravity, which focuses on the ankle area. It often becomes a consequence of a long load during the day and manifests itself at night;
- Periodic pain in the legs appears;
- From time to time, they are concerned convulsions in the calf muscles and the feeling of rawn races, usually at night;
- Late stage is distinguished by pronounced trophic disorders of the lower third skin: pigmentation, seal, dermatitis and as extreme manifestation - a trophic ulcer.
The consequence of the development of rectum varicose veins is the appearance of hemorrhoids. It is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- itching, burning and discomfort in the anus, especially intensifying after drinking alcohol, bathing or physical activity;
- bleeding in the posterior stages of varying degrees of intensity;
- Inflammation and loss of hemorrhoids.
Stages
The development of varicose veins of the lower ends passes three stages.
Important! In the initial manifestations of varicose veins, the role of medical and preventive measures, during their implementation, is important to prevent additional disease development significantly.
Varicosis at the early stage of manifestation is evidenced by the feeling of gravity, swelling and painful pain in the legs. During this period, it is necessary to immediately start preventive measures: a course of massage, swimming, use of special legs, as all this is effective in preventing the development of varicose veins only at the beginning.
- Step I. The appearance of gravity in the legs, its edema, painful pains, the formation of vascular stars, tied veins, which are visible through the skin. The cramps on the legs and burning in the IKR and stop area can be added to this.
- Stage II. A significant increase in the size and number of nodes and stars, which become more noticeable. The swelling of the legs is more pronounced. Strengthening pain syndrome.
- Stage II. Changing the structure of the surface of the skin - the appearance of dryness, the age formations. A significant increase in venous nodes, reducing the walls of blood vessels, which increases the risk of bleeding, even with slight injury.
Complications (consequences) of varicose veins
Varicosa disease can lead to serious complications. In the last stage of the development of varicose veins, the extreme thinning of the walls of the vessels is observed, in this regard, the risk of trophic ulcers - open wounds curative in the vessels that occur even with smaller trauma.
The result of varicose node rupture is the development of thrombophlebitis. During appearance, that thrombosis formation occurs with inflammation of the vein wall and the forms of blood clot that cover its lumen.
With the development of acute thrombophlebitis, severe pain appears in the area of tanned veins and body temperature, accompanied by chills, increases. With superficial veins thrombophlebitis, painful seals with redness of the skin along the veins are characteristic. Deep veins thrombophlebitis is accompanied by limb edema due to a strong violation of venous outlet.
Veins varicose veins in women
Many women face varicose veins. This is due to women's predisposition to the disease due to the characteristics of the female hormonal system. In addition, pregnancy and childbirth, in most cases, become the causes of varicose veins, as there is an effect of increased load and increased blood flow to the pelvic organs. In addition to the varicose veins of the lower extremities in women, varicose veins in the perineum, affecting the external genitalia, usually develop, which is a consequence of congenital or acquired weakness of the vascular wall and valve insufficiency. The effect of external static stress (prolonged, significant physical activity) or internal factors (overweight, pelvic organs chronicly) leads to varicose vein formation.
Important! The question of the influence of oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy remains open.
The development of varicose veins during pregnancy
The influence of each subsequent pregnancy sharply increases the chances of developing venous insufficiency in women and the formation of varicose veins. This is due to hormonal changes in a woman's body and a significant increase in the load in the veins. The main task of a woman during this period is the observance of preventive measures in order to avoid the development of varicose veins. If there is a predisposition and signs of the initial development of varicose veins, consultation and observation of a phlebologist throughout pregnancy is required. Preventive measures should be complemented by the use of compression linen; In some cases, it should be dressed for the birth period. For this, special models are available.
Vein varicose veins in men
Varicious disease is often found in men in the form of varicocele - seed cord varicose veins. Symptoms of the disease:
- Donity in the testis and a weight sensation, a scrotum, along the seed cord, which intensifies with physical effort and prolonged position;
- During the palpation of the scrotum, the veins of the seed of the seed cord are determined.
The development of varicocele causes male infertility due to circulatory disorders and concomitant pathological changes in the normal operation of the testicles:
- There is an increase in temperature in the testis for body temperature. High temperature affects spermatogenesis;
- hypoxia (hunger for oxygen, ischemia) of the testis;
- The accumulation of free radicals in egg tissues that violate their activity.
The treatment of varicose veins in men consists of a surgical operation in the presence of indications: testis pain, infertility, aesthetic defect in the scrotum, lack of growth of the affected testis during puberty. However, the disease may occur asymptomatic and not cause significant discomfort to a man. In adolescents and children, when diagnosing varicocele, surgery is required at any stage of the disease, this avoids the additional development of infertility. Operations are performed in both the usual and endoscopic open manner. It is possible to perform surgical intervention from mini -ceace and microcurgical testicularization of the testis.
Pelvis varicose
Varicose veins can occur in the pelvis. In this form, it is found in most cases in women, which are associated with the characteristics of the blood supply to the female body. The expansion of the veins causes a sense of pain and severity in the pelvis, which can be caused by venous stagnation.
The development of varicose veins of small pelvis occurs for several reasons:
- Pregnancy and childbirth;
- change in the form of the uterus;
- Raise and use weights;
- Hereditary predisposition;
- lack of physical activity;
- Sedentary work;
- Reception of oral contraceptives.
If there are risk factors and symptoms of the disease, an examination should be passing. In the early stages, you can identify the varicose veins of the pelvis with ultrasonic diagnosis. Preliminary diagnosis is also possible for gynecological examination during the standard procedure. Treatment of the disease includes taking venotonic medications, wearing special compression clothing and implementation of medical and preventive gymnastics. It is also necessary to exclude risk factors and is observed regularly in a gynecologist. With the ineffectiveness of conservative treatment methods, surgical intervention is indicated.
Varicose veins
Therapeutic measures for varicose veins consist of conservative treatment methods of treatment and later stages - surgical intervention. In the early stages and in the first signs of varicose veins, notonic intake is recommended. As preventive measures, elastic bandage, wearing compression meshes and restriction of physical activity at all stages of the disease.
In later stages, drugs and varicose veins are prescribed:
- improve blood microcirculation;
- Increased venous blood circulation;
- contributing to the unloading of the central veins.
The posterior stages show flexibility, surgical removal of pathologically altered veins, as well as sclerotherapy - the administration of special medicines that sclerosis has damaged the veins, thus preventing their participation in venous flow.
It should be noted that we have already written in detail about which compression line, but at the moment only the surgical method of treatment has established itself as the most effective.
