Deep varicose veins are a very unpleasant and very dangerous pathology of the veins of the circulatory system.
Deep varicose veins of the lower extremities are a pathology that spreads to the blood vessels that pass through the muscle structures of the legs. The elongation and expansion of venous blood vessels can severely impair blood flow and become the cause of thrombosis and development.
The danger of this disease is that the thrombus formed on the blood vessel wall can easily fall off and is likely to transfer to the pulmonary artery.
When the disease occurs, an irreversible process of venous vessel lengthening and dilation takes place. As the process progressed, it was observed that the vein walls became thinner and formed nodules, hindering the free transport of blood through the blood vessels.
In most cases, people between the ages of 30 and 40 will be affected by this disease.
The emergence and development of the disease may be due to various unfavorable factors. Varicose veins are the result of severe disturbances in blood circulation in specific areas of the lower extremities.
With the development of the patient's disease, dystrophic ulcers may appear in the circulatory system disorder, which may cause the appearance of gangrene, which requires cutting off the affected part of the affected limb.
In addition, VRV can cause deformation of the muscles of the lower extremities, the formation of blood clots, and the possible subsequent separation and transport to the pulmonary artery, which may lead to death.
The main factors leading to the appearance and development of the disease are as follows:
In addition, the cause of the disease may be:
In addition, cellulite may also be the cause of pathological development.
If the disease is detected in time, you can go to a qualified phlebolg when the disease is suspected for the first time.
The most common is that in the initial stage of the disease development, after a long static load or a long walk, the legs will experience a slight fatigue, which indicates the disease. In addition, during this period, small swelling appeared in the tissues of the limbs.
The most common symptoms of the disease appear at the end of the day and gradually disappear after a long rest. When these signs appear, it is necessary to consult a phlebologist and conduct special studies to identify and clarify the existence of pathology.
The use of laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods allows us to determine the degree of disease progression and decide to adopt timely and appropriate treatment methods. As the disease progresses further, it enters a more advanced stage, which is characterized by the appearance of the entire spectrum of characteristic symptoms of progressive disease.
For the advanced stages of pathology, it is characterized by the following symptoms:
The further development of the disease leads to the appearance of small wounds that cannot heal for a long time and then turn into trophic ulcers.
Without proper and timely treatment, the development of the patient’s disease can be fatal. The development of varicose veins leads to the gradual deformation of muscle structure and the appearance of negative changes in skin and bone quality.
As the disease progresses, patients will develop signs of eczema and form trophic ulcers that may turn into gangrene. Cause sepsis or death.
The formation of thrombosis in veins affected by varicose veins. Due to this process, the formed thrombus can be broken off and transported through the circulatory system.
When a blood clot enters the pulmonary artery, the blood clot is blocked and death.
Experienced phlebologists can determine the presence of varicose veins in the lower extremities through characteristic symptoms that are clearly visible even in the photos of the legs, but after performing a detailed examination of the patient and taking into account all individuals of his bodyAfter the characteristics, the method of treatment of the disease is selected individually.
Laboratory and instrumental diagnostic methods are used to identify the existence and development stages of diseases. Laboratory methods include general analysis of blood and urine.
The most common method of instrument diagnosis is to perform an ultrasound examination of the veins of the legs. This technique allows you to visualize the vascular system and determine the degree of progression of the pathological process.
In addition, if necessary, the attending physician will prescribe the following:
Use venous occlusive plethysmography to show the amount of blood in the veins of the lower limbs.
Only after a thorough examination and results are obtained, can the patient be assigned an appropriate treatment plan.
Modern medicine provides several treatment options for diseases-drug therapy, non-drug therapy and surgical treatment.
At the same time, after consulting the attending doctor, you can use non-traditional and alternative treatment methods at home.
Surgery is the most reliable way to treat this disease. Drug therapy in the form of tablets, special ointments and gels for external use can play a supplementary role and is actually supportive therapy.
The use of drug therapy involves the use of several types of drugs during treatment-anticoagulation, anti-inflammatory, vasoconstriction and fibrinolytic effects
Anticoagulants thin the blood and prevent the formation of blood clots. Anti-inflammatory drugs help alleviate the inflammatory process in the walls of veins. Venotonics allows you to increase the tone of vein walls, while fibrinolytic protein helps to dissolve small clots and helps clean the vein bed.
Due to the use of drugs, the most common manifestation of this disease is the disappearance of edema. In addition, the improvement of superficial skin conditions can be observed. The main condition for the use of drugs is to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations and to comply with the dosage of the drugs taken.
To completely cure varicose veins, surgery is recommended.
In addition, surgical methods are used when there is no active movement during the medication.
The most common method of pathological surgical treatment is:
Sclerotherapy involves the use of a special substance-sclerosing agent during the operation, which is injected into the lumen of the affected vein and causes adhesion of the blood vessel wall. This procedure allows you to remove veins from the circulatory system, thereby preventing the development of pathology. In severe violations, this technique is rarely used.
Vein enucleation is to remove the affected part of the vein. In most cases, this method is used to identify lesions in superficial veins, but in some cases, it can be used to treat deep venous vessels in extremities.
Laser coagulation is a minimally invasive surgical intervention that uses lasers. It allows you to remove the affected vein area in the circulatory system by gluing its walls into the circulatory system under the action of laser radiation. Since this treatment is actually painless and does not require a long recovery time, it has received the most positive feedback from patients.
The use of surgical treatment can completely get rid of the symptoms of varicose veins. The choice of surgical technique depends on the degree of pathology, the individual characteristics of the patient, and is performed by the attending doctor.
