Welcome to the website dedicated to the phenomenon of sleep and quality of life. I hope the information is useful.
Modern medicine and vascular surgery to date, is the only remedy and come with effective cosmetic and surgical treatments. But about all under the order.
With the intake of internal medicines can get rid of varicose veins forever
Fact. Modern pharmaceutical market offers a wide selection of drugs. They all have similar substances (plant flavonoids), and low efficiency and unwanted side effects. A tonic for the veins will not save you from varicose veins, but from the weight, swelling and night cramps are quite possible.
Creams and gels will cure varicose veins
Fact. The seller and the manufacturers promise high efficiency, it should be understood that the gels and creams do not eliminate the varicose veins. Their the massage promotes venous outflow, acts as a gentle massage and has a calming effect on the skin in the initial stage of the disease.
When veins works, some creams and ointments can cause dermatitis and allergic reaction, which exacerbates the problem. Thrombophlebitis prescribed the use of heparin means that thin blood and help to remove inflammation.
Thanks to the active is very popular gels and creams with leeches. According to doctors, shaman, these products have no relation neither the leeches nor the drugs. Waste of time and money, is the place self-hypnosis.
Leeches cure varicose veins
Fact. The saliva of leeches rich hirudin that thins the blood. This fact is the main reason why ignorant people turn to leeches for varicose veins, confusing it with thrombophlebitis.
Blood thinners will not affect the varicose veins, which is caused by the increase of the venous lumen and the valve insufficiency. For the danger that with such treatment, silent.
The outcome of the treatment can be skin pigmentation on the site of the casa, prolonged bleeding from wounds. This is the best. In the worst case — develop dermatitis, limfostazom, PHLEBOTHROMBOSIS, and even gangrene of the foot.
In the composition of the saliva of leeches a lot of allergens that can with chronic venous stasis can cause inflammation and allergic reactions that destroy the skin and aggravating varicose veins.
Phlebology recognized as treatment completely quackery, dangerous to the health of the patient. Leech therapy is particularly contraindicated in ulcers.
Compression stockings removal of 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 veins, promotes redistribution of blood flow from the external affected veins in the deep and eliminates the stagnation of blood in the veins.
While the elastic compression does not eliminate the cause of the disease, and only simulates a situation when the veins are "sealed" or removed. To properly size and recommend the carries can just Phlebology.
Treatments for varicose veins
Nowadays, the methods of treatment of varicose veins is simpler and nearly all are performed on an outpatient basis, and if you are needed in the hospital, only for one or two days. The main types of treatment: sclerotherapy, laser coagulation, radiofrequency ablation, surgery.
Experienced professionals often use several methods at once. Consider the most common, their arguments for and against.
Sclerotherapy
This non-surgical method of removal of the patients veins. The vessel is entered sklerozant, special liquid preparation that glues vein, which eventually disappears. Blood ceases to flow in the affected area and should be distributed through the healthy veins.
Sclerotherapy is applied at the beginning of the last century, now the procedure has become less dangerous and painful. Sklerozant is introduced into the patient's vein with the use of thin needles or microcatheters. One session can take up to 4 injections, and the number of sessions is determined by the severity of the disease.
After injection into a patient wears compression stockings, it is advisable to go (up to 5 hours) to avoid deep vein thrombosis. Elastic compression will have to wear during treatment, and at the end (4 weeks).
Sclerotherapy improves the flow of blood, dilated blood vessels disappear, swelling, pain, cramps and fatigue. Spots that appear at the top of the removed veins eventually pass.
Sclerotherapy includes:
- Itself sclerotherapy
- ECHO-sclerotherapy (injected sklerozant right on target, thanks to the ultrasound to view the venous lumen),
- Foam-form sclerotherapy. Sklerozant turns into a foam, introduced in the united states that allows you to "seal" tightly even large veins.
Sclerotherapy ensures long-term medical and cosmetic result, and in some cases a lifetime. Only 25% of patients with varicose veins running could not count on the full recovery. The manifestation of the disease is significantly reduced.
Contraindications:
- Individual intolerance to sklerozant.
- Taking anti-inflammatory and hormonal drugs.
- Unwanted weight.
- Keeping the cellulite in the affected veins.
- Inflammatory and purulent diseases of the skin of the feet.
- Pregnancy.
- Thrombophlebitis.
Pros:
- Outpatient treatment allows you to keep their way of life.
- Cosmetic effect is immediately noticeable, scars are left.
- Minimal pain during the treatment.
- It is possible to eliminate a few of the veins.
Cons:
There is no guarantee for a lifelong result. To achieve that, you need to begin treatment with the elimination of the causes of varicose veins.
- The wearing of compression hosiery, it is possible to withdraw for a short time for hygienic procedures.
Laser treatment — "office surgery"
Photocoagulation — laser treatment of varicose veins with the closure of their lumen. Is the most recent development of the German specialists called endovenous (intravascular) or endovasal coagulation (EVLT or EVLT). Currently widely applied in leading clinics of Russia and abroad.
With EVLT there is a "solder" (ablation) of the damaged veins through a high-energy laser without incisions. For thermal laser treatment from inside the vein injected a special fiber through the puncture, there is a spasm of the vein, the lumen is closed in the inside. Vienna is eliminated from the bloodstream, and then are replaced by connective tissue.
The extent of the influence of the EVLK of the patients veins higher than sclerotherapy and achieves the effect equivalent to the classical vein removal.
Intravascular coagulation is recognized as minus the traumatic and fast, modern way of eliminating varicose veins.
The minimum time spent at work (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 the procedure can leave the clinic on their own and to return to the workplace.
Good.
Intravascular laser ablation is a worthy alternative to surgical intervention:
- Excellent cosmetic effect — during the surgery is not incisions.
- The brevity EVLT procedure takes less than an hour.
- The quick recovery, which gives you the opportunity to not cease work.
- The coagulation laser is controlled by the indications of ultrasound, which improves the quality of care, postoperative complications minimize.
- The absence of hematomas and bruises.
Cons:
- The operation cost is very high
- The large diameter of veins does not eliminate the need for incisions.
- Vienna a large diameter can fall apart later and be back.
VNUS. Radiofrequency ablation
The latest method developed by the international scientific community in order to find the most perfect cure for varicose veins of the legs. In North America and Europe, the method is practiced for more than 10 years, Russia has put into practice large clinics recently.
VNUS — endovasal method is used for the treatment of the affected veins large veins of the trunk. In the puncture injected radio-frequency catheter, "medicandi" in Vienna by the microwave exposure. The catheter has sensors that measure the usefulness and efficiency of the thermal effect on the vein wall.
Pros:
- Ambulatory conditions.
- Local anesthesia.
- Preservation of disability.
- Without incisions.
- Rapid recovery of the patient (30 minutes after surgery). In a week you can exercise.
- The absence of pain and bruising in most cases.
- High-security.
Cons:
- The high price.
- Can occur in burns that are quickly.
- Reduced concentration on the day of the surgery (you cannot drive a car and to engage in other activities that require concentration).
In the united states radiofrequency ablation is used much less than laser photocoagulation. This is due to the high price of almost equal results. Coagulation gives a larger percentage of the complete disappearance of the veins thanks to the introduction of the new generation of lasers, providing higher efficiency and the absence of hematomas.
Radical methods
At the beginning of thrombophlebitis, eczema, trophic ulcers sclerotherapy and other procedures bezoperatsionnye to do later. In this case, the doctors most likely to resort to surgical methods, by combining them with sclerotherapy.
Many clinics offer high-tech microsurgical methods of removal of sick veins that minus the traumatic (allow a small incision to remove the entire diseased vein), do not leave scars and sores, short-term (after 40 minutes the patient can go home).
According to the opinion of phlebology, to be afraid for the removal of varicose veins is not affected. Blood-engorged veins are a serious threat to health and life. After their removal, the circulation of the blood are normal, healthy veins removed redundant load.
In conclusion, the article on modern methods of treatment of varicose veins want to offer to the Test. The answers to the questions will not last more than 5 minutes of your time, but will allow you to identify the symptoms of varicose veins of the legs and of the degree of risk.
