This is due to the deterioration in the motility of blood vessels, decreased tone, which are the reasons for the stagnation of venous blood in the lower limbs and the perineum.
With timely diagnosis and adherence to doctor's recommendations disease does not assume the likelihood of complications.
Reasons for the appearance of varicose veins on labia
The main reasons for the emergence of varicose veins of the 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 the suppleness and stimulate vitality. A similar action is exerted on the blood vessels;
- violation of the elastic vessels of the lower limbs;
- a significant increase in blood volume. This creates the veins that are located in the lower limbs and groin, the additional mechanical load;
- the pressure in the blood vessels increase in the volume of the uterus (during pregnancy). Some of the vessels are compressed, deterioration of the circulation, disrupted vascular valves responsible for preventing the reverse flow of blood. In view of this and appears stagnant.
Unfortunately, to predict in advance the occurrence of varicose veins is not possible, because a lot depends on the General condition of the cardiovascular 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.
It is IMPORTANT! Doctors also point to the fact that the varicose veins of the labia is a result of insufficient physical activity of women during pregnancy. In the early stages, it really is advisable to avoid stress, to move less, but starting from the second trimester long walks necessary. If not – no stimulation of the circulatory system and as a result – stagnation.
In other cases, varicose veins are often called "professional" disease. It occurs in those who a large part of the day is "legs". Of those, for example, includes the salesgirls in the stores, operating nurses, dentists, hairdressers.
The constant tension in the muscles causing the curvature of the vessels, followed by their blockage. This can occur in the perineum and lower limbs. Depends on the condition of the circulatory system in these areas.
Symptoms
Key symptoms of varicose veins of the labia is the appearance of a visually visible red or blue blood vessels in the subcutaneous layer. It only indicates the presence of reverse blood flow, stagnation and partial atrophy of the vascular walls.
Initially they appear in the region of the perineum, and after a certain period of time (to increase load) increasing the volume and labia. Usually 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 reduced the rate of flow of the blood.
Pressure on the walls of the blood vessels, increases from the inside and those that are spread.
They become thinner, which causes the risk of rupture.
All this is complemented by a dysfunction of the valves. Those, because of the strong pressure on them not to block the veins in the process of relaxation of the muscles of the heart and the blood just starts to flow in the opposite direction.
Again, it creates tension stretch the walls of their curves.
In these places is not the likelihood of clotsthat can completely block the vessel and cause its atrophy.
It is IMPORTANT! In the event of the first signs of varicose veins touch the woman feels nothing. With the worsening of the 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 discovery internal bleeding after the interruption of the venous wall. All this is complemented with psychological factors, such as the visual to the labia become large and ugly. This can cause the occurrence of inferiority complex, and a dysfunction of the reproductive system.
Especially dangerous are varicose veins in pregnant women, as well as childbirth and prenatal contractions (especially when a significant opening of the cervix) may become a provoking factor for the rupture of the blood vessels. If this happens, then there is a high risk of internal bleeding.
In the case of untimely detection of varices is a high likelihood of atrophy of the vessels. They stop to circulate the blood and aktiviziruyutsya the process of resorption of the vein. If the circulation is severely damaged, it is likely necessary to amputate the damaged labia.
The treatment of varicose veins of the labia
Today there are several effective methods for the treatment of varicose veins:
- a conservative therapy. Involves taking drugs that stimulate heart function, as well as the wearing of compression underwear. This is complemented with physical therapy;
- surgical. Not live the blood vessels are completely removed through an incision in the perineum;
- stitching. Damaged veins in the early stages of the disease are blocked with the help of laser cauterization. Over time they dissolve and in their place appear new.
Conservative therapy is preferred, but allowed its application only in the early stages of varicose veins, when the labia are not increases in size, suggesting a lack of full blockage. The doctor prescribes stimulants are those drugs that prevent thrombosis.
Wearing compression underwear is to support the vessels of the lower limbs in its initial state, when there is no curvature. It stimulates good blood circulation and lowers blood pressure. The course of treatment is determined at the discretion of the doctor.
Surgical technique for the most radical and is used when the risk of opening up internal bleeding. Applied in the last turn, 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 needed for its implementation, in most public hospitals there.
Overall, varices of the labia – it is a violation of the cardiovascular system are due to the deterioration of elastics. If caught early, responds to conservative therapy. It is especially dangerous for pregnant women, as there is a risk of internal bleeding during delivery.
