The best treatments for varicose veins

With varicose veins, the blood stops flowing in the valves of the blood vessels, which causes the veins to swell and swell. The process is accompanied by a change in their color. The veins, as a rule, on the legs, acquire a purple or blue tinge, become felt (protrude above the surface of the skin). Varicose veins are considered a cosmetic defect, but some people who are sensitive to this pathology experience physical ailments.

Varicose veins medicines relieve the following symptoms:

• pain (especially while walking)
• swelling?
• feeling of heaviness (or fullness) at the site of varicose veins.
• convulsions (most often at night).
• skin modification and the appearance of simultaneous pathology (dermatitis, eczema).

Important! It is impossible to completely cure varicose veins, but various treatment methods help to reduce the manifestations of the pathology and its further development.

How to recognize the first signs of varicose veins?

To start treating varicose veins in time, you need to know what symptoms indicate an impending illness. There are 6 stages of varicose veins:

• the onset of the disease, which is indicated by swelling, heaviness in the legs and leg muscle cramps, nocturnal changes in foot temperature - are they hot or cold.
• the first stage is characterized by the appearance of spiders.
• in the second, thickening of the veins and formation of nodules on them.
• the third adds severe swelling of the legs at night.

The last two stages are the formation of food ulcers. The change in the color of the skin on the feet in the affected areas should also be alert. It takes on a brown hue. The greatest success in treatment can be achieved in the initial and first stage. Therefore, at the first symptoms, it is necessary to visit a doctor and start treatment.

The problem of varicose veins is especially acute for pregnant and lactating mothers. The manifestations of the disease greatly aggravate the condition and the possibilities for its treatment are limited. Therefore, when evaluating medicines for varicose veins, we will pay attention to the possibility of using it during these periods.

Groups of drugs used to treat varicose veins

For the treatment of varicose veins, various types of drugs are used: ointments, creams, tablets, injections. All medicines belong to one of the following groups:

1. Separators. Medicines that relieve pain and related symptoms (fever, burning, headache). They also tend to thin the blood. With varicose veins, drugs of this group are often prescribed in the form of tablets or injectable solutions.
2. Phlebotonics. They are used in the treatment of chronic varicose veins. Drugs increase the elasticity of blood vessels and strengthen their walls, as well as improve blood microcirculation. With prolonged use, phlebotonics stop the symptoms of varicose veins and prevent further development of pathology.
3. Anticoagulants. Blood thinners. Used to reduce the visibility of the veins, reduce swelling. They have mainly a cosmetic effect.
4. Antioxidants. They are used to accelerate the outflow of fluid, increase elasticity and strengthen blood vessels. Antioxidants help fight the cosmetic manifestations of varicose veins (venous network), but also have a therapeutic effect.

Also during treatment, your doctor may prescribe decongestant saline injections.

Important! In addition to medications, the compression sock is used to combat the manifestations of varicose veins. They can be special socks or tights that limit the development of the pathology.

Separators

Disintegrants or antiplatelet drugs should only be used on the advice of a doctor or for a short period of time. Drugs from this group dilute the blood to cause a number of side effects:

• prolonged bleeding.
• drops in blood pressure (blood pressure);
• dizziness, feeling unwell.

Important! An absolute contraindication to their use is heart failure (regardless of the stage of the disease).

Taking acetylsalicylic acid on its own is dangerous, as side effects can occur (especially, a sharp drop in blood clotting rate).

Important! Antiplatelet agents, in combination with anticoagulants, increase the risk of thrombosis, so the use of drugs from these categories is recommended separately.

Phlebotonics

Preparations from the group of phlebotonics have a complex effect on the body. With varicose veins, they perform the main therapeutic functions: they increase the elasticity of blood vessels and stabilize blood flow.

The most effective substances in this category:

1. Rutoside. Refers to group P vitamins. The substance is contained in various dosage forms (especially tablets). Rutoside is found in vegetables, fruits and berries.
2. Pentoxyphylline. It has a positive effect on blood microcirculation and its rheological properties (fluidity, viscoplasticity). Pentoxyphylline drugs also work on blood vessels to increase their elasticity.
3. Hesperidine. A substance that reduces the elasticity of veins, reduces congestion and permeability of capillary walls. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Preparations from this group are derived from natural compounds. Due to their natural origin, the drugs have minimal side effects.

Anticoagulants

Preparations from the group of anticoagulants have anticoagulant properties. A popular drug in this category is heparin. It is a drug of immediate action. It comes in the form of a solution for injection. It is administered either intravenously (in very severe cases) or subcutaneously (as part of a complex treatment).

Important! The above drugs should not be used for bleeding and pregnancy. Also, anticoagulants are not recommended for women during lactation (breastfeeding).

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are most often used to prevent or reduce the risk of developing varicose veins. These drugs are optional.

Additional suggestions

To relieve the painful symptoms of varicose veins, you should take hot or warm baths, exercise and go to the bathroom more often. The totality of the exercises depends on the stage of the disease.

Also, direct exposure to sunlight (and, in principle, any heating of the pathology site) helps with varicose veins. But when using this method, it is important to use products with sunscreen, so as not to accelerate the aging of the skin and increase the risk of developing cancer.

Tablets for varicose veins

Self-healing for varicose veins is the most popular treatment. The Internet is full of wonderful recipes for apple cider vinegar, leeches and other magical technologies, and our fellow citizens are eager to believe it. Varicose veins can now be treated cheaply or even for free by certified specialists, but miraculous shamans are still very popular. Probably, these are remnants of the primitive community system of our ancestors. Only pain can make a person chase a doctor, we will diligently treat unwanted varicose veins with various unpleasant things in the hope that one day they will be resolved.

Remedy for varicose veins

The vast majority of people, choosing between surgical treatment of any disease (in our case, varicose veins) and possible non-invasive treatment, whether it is capsules, varicose veins tablets, gels, ointments, herbs and infusions, will choose the latter. , especially if all monitors will transmit for their efficiency and the uselessness of any functions. The amount of information for patient lovers can be judged by the number of ads for varicose vein pills and creams on all federal channels, where happy girls run easily after smearing their healthy feet with a miracle cream or receiving miracles.

What to do and get in case of varicose veins?

Before the formal offer to contact our center, we will tell you about really effective methods that can facilitate the course of the disease.

In this section, we suggest you to forget the extremely effective pills that "help" with varicose veins and remember the traditional and proven methods.

Massage and bath for varicose veins

Massage, unlike many cheap phlebotonics from advertising, is an active method of treating varicose veins, helping to prevent swelling, remove swelling, lower extremity fatigue and reduce general body fatigue.

The Innovative Vascular Center uses all types of modern massage, especially for pathologies of the lymphatic and venous systems. One of the exclusive methods is the technology of lymphatic drainage massage with a strip, which effectively relieves chronic venous insufficiency.

In chronic venous insufficiency, massage is used to eliminate venous hypertension in varicose veins and post-thrombotic syndrome. The combination of this technology with the bandage can effectively eliminate all the clinical manifestations of the disease.

Therapeutic massage is a very effective treatment for the symptomatic treatment of varicose veins in the legs, but gives only temporary relief. We use manual lymphatic drainage in patients with severe edema in patients with lymphobenic insufficiency. There is no reason to be afraid to "tear blood clots" with such treatment, but in case of deterioration it should not be used.

But the bath is a completely different matter: with varicose veins, thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities or post-thrombotic disease, it is very dangerous. Any thermal stress can cause the formation of blood clots in deep veins, which are carried by the bloodstream, with all the consequent consequences. Dehydration in the bath leads to "thickening" of the blood. Do not expose yourself to unnecessary risks. Varicose veins from the bath will not disappear and thrombophlebitis may occur.

Laser treatment of varicose veins

Varicose veins - a disease that does not tolerate deposits in treatment. By not paying due attention to the course of the disease, a person inadvertently worsens his condition, increasing the chance of surgery.

Medicine is evolving every day and it is good that today there are alternatives to surgery - laser treatment of varicose veins.

Laser treatment of varicose veins is the same effective method as surgery, but completely painless treatment.Unlike drugs, a particular advantage is its speed. Laser treatment is used in hospitals, beauty salons, when it is necessary to remove a mild degree of varicose veins - spider veins.

First, the doctor injects the patient with pain medication and uses a laser to glue the damaged veins together. After such a procedure, the patient should wear compression underwear for one year.

The first results are visible within 5-7 months after laser treatment. Many patients prefer this solution to the problem, because laser treatment, unlike pills and other drugs, is fast, cheap, effective and harmless.

Folk remedies for the treatment of varicose veins

Sometimes it happens that due to individual intolerance to any pills and medicines, a person is forced to abandon traditional varicose vein treatments.You do not need to be upset, because natural ingredients are included in the same creams, ointments and other preparations.Many harmful chemicals are only added to them.

However, we must not forget that all folk remedies are effective only in the initial stage of varicose veins. Traditional medicines, such as traditional medicines, aim to improve blood circulation.

Before the emergence of effective drugs to combat varicose veins, our ancestors used homemade creams, ointments, infusions, lotions from birch leaves, chestnut, burdock, cider vinegar, hops, calendula. Such drugs treated leg pain no worse than many modern drugs and expensive pills.

For example, a natural remedy from injected crushed Kalanchoe leaves is rubbed on the feet for a month, the pain syndrome disappeared and the venous nets became less noticeable. Such a natural preparation worked quite well and was clearly not inferior to the pills.

With severe symptoms that cause discomfort and discomfort in daily life and suspicion of varicose veins in the legs, you do not need to prescribe independent pills and medications. It is recommended to visit a venologist who will professionally choose an individual treatment for the treatment of varicose veins.

Chestnut horse

In folk medicine, the first place belongs to the chestnut horse. The effectiveness of the treatment of varicose veins is due to the content of many substances in the plant:

• escin strengthens blood vessel walls, thins the blood and has antibacterial activity.
• esculin prevents the formation of a vascular network (strengthens capillaries and other small vessels) and blood clots.
• tannins have the ability to bind protein and attach it to the vascular wall, thus increasing its strength
• routine reduces vascular wall permeability.
Cameferol helps in tissue regeneration, heals ulcers and has anti-cancer effects.

The effect of using folk remedies based on horse chestnut is achieved with natural treatment. It is expressed in a reduction of swelling, swollen veins, heaviness, itching and pain. The disadvantage of the brown horse is the inability to deal with it during the transport of a baby and breastfeeding. Like any folk remedy, it is only an addition to the medication. Effective medicines are based on horse chestnut extract.

Apple cider vinegar

Even the official medicine recognizes its benefits for treating varicose veins. A huge amount of useful substances - acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals - allow you to fight many manifestations of varicose veins at the same time. Applying apple cider vinegar allows:

• normalize vascular tone.
• increase skin elasticity and avoid the thinning that usually accompanies the disease.
• remove the swelling.
• to increase smooth muscle tone.
• relieves inflammation due to the antiseptic properties of cider vinegar.

Commercial apple cider vinegar is not suitable for treating varicose veins. The homemade version is easy to make yourself with fresh apples. There are two possible uses - external and internal. Concentrated vinegar is used for bathtubs, compresses, wrappers and mattresses. For oral administration, it should be diluted. The tool can only be used if there is no threat of blood clots.

Compression aids

Compression stockings and knees make up 50% of the success of varicose vein treatment. Their main purpose is to improve the function of the venous valve mechanism, the venous muscle pump and the microcirculation, ie the ability of the capillaries to absorb extracellular fluid. These goals are achieved by putting pressure on the muscles in specific positions. There is a preventive underwear, there is a medical. The more severe the stage of the disease, the more pressure must be exerted by the socks. The condom is available for sale, the drug is sold only with a prescription.

Wound healing bandages

The last stages of varicose veins are characterized by the appearance of food ulcers. This is a serious condition that often requires hospitalization and nursing care. To help with food ulcers, different means are used depending on the condition and the stage of treatment. One of them is a healer to clean the wound and absorb the exudate.

Our review is for informational purposes only and does not recommend the use of the above varicose vein treatments. Special appointments can be made only by the treating physician, based on the patient's condition and the individual characteristics of his body.

Effective drugs to prevent varicose veins

Thrombophlebitis is a common complication of varicose veins of the lower extremities, especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Low molecular weight heparin is a proven drug for the prevention of vascular thrombosis. Tablets are used to prevent thrombophlebitis after the treatment of varicose veins in our clinic. The course of treatment with pills is 7 days after the intervention with laser or radiofrequency.

It is best to consult a venologist and then, as a specialist with higher medical education, perform a comprehensive examination and prescribe appropriate treatment, including medication (the best pills for varicose veins), but stillto be the most effective treatment for varicose veins is -laser coagulation.

Remember the best cure for any ailment, even varicose veins is an active and healthy lifestyle. Therapeutic exercises, walks in the fresh air strengthen the venous wall better than any pill. The right way to work and rest, use an elevated position to relieve tension from walking, swimming in the sea and pool - these measures are the best preventive and therapeutic means. Do not assume that if the packaging of antistatic pills says "made from grape leaves", then they are no longer chemicals. Why poison yourself with ineffective drugs, if it is impossible to remove varicose veins with their help.
