Varicose veins are one of the fairly common pathologies, but not everyone even realizes that they suffer from this disease.
Thus, a small venous network on the legs is simply not noticed by many people, especially for men, as well as middle-aged and elderly women who do not always pay close attention to their appearance.
But the appearance of a venous network on the legs is only the first stage of varicose veins, which, without treatment, gradually passes into the second and third, as a result of which the venous network is replaced by dilated and swollen veins, and then by the formation of nodes in them.It should be noted that one of the manifestations of varicose veins is varicose hemorrhoidal veins, which is known as hemorrhoids, and causes a lot of inconvenience, often leading to significant blood loss, anemia and other complications.
There can be many reasons for the occurrence of varicose veins, and regardless of the reasons for the appearance of varicose veins and regardless of the form of the disease, it is necessary to begin treatment at an earlier date.In this case, the main direction of treatment is the use of venotonics, and this also applies to varicose veins of the lower extremities and hemorrhoids.
Venotonic drugs
Often made from various herbs or fruit seeds, they affect the wall of venous vessels, lead to their narrowing and promote the movement of blood to the heart, preventing its stagnation in the vessels.Due to this, it is possible to eliminate both existing varicose veins and prevent the progression of the disease.
Local preparations are also of great importance.Moreover, for hemorrhoids, it is possible to use various suppositories, while for varicose veins of the lower extremities, ointments that have both a vascular-stabilizing and blood-thinning effect demonstrate quite high effectiveness.Thanks to this, it is possible to eliminate both the external manifestations of the disease and eliminate symptoms such as heaviness in the legs and swelling of the legs, which with varicose veins occur in the evening after a long stay on the feet.
Late initiation of treatment leads not only to progression of symptoms, but also to the possible occurrence of complications that can even be life-threatening.
Thus, one of the most dangerous complications is the development of pulmonary embolism.Thus, stagnation of blood in the veins of the lower extremities leads to the formation of blood clots, which can be either firmly attached to the wall of the vein or actually not connected with it.Therefore, at one stage or another, a clot can open and be transported with the blood to the heart, and then enter the pulmonary arteries.The cessation of blood flow through the pulmonary arteries due to a blood clot entering them leads to necrosis of the lung tissue and hemorrhage into it.And if the blood clot turns out to be large and blocks the pulmonary artery itself, then sudden death can even occur.
In this regard, it is generally accepted that pulmonary embolism is the most dangerous complication of varicose veins, while one should not think that this alone can be dangerous for varicose veins, since, as mentioned above, the disease can also be complicated by bleeding and subsequent anemia.
In the early stages, varicose veins cause not only aesthetic inconvenience, but also significantly reduces tolerance to physical activity.Thus, a person begins to feel heaviness in the legs after a short stay in a standing or walking position.In addition, with a more pronounced load, quite serious swelling may appear, due to which the motor mode is even more limited.
Thus, it should be said that varicose veins cause inconvenience already in the very early stages of their appearance, while as they progress, the symptoms only worsen and the likelihood of developing complications increases significantly.
In view of this, it is necessary to begin treatment of varicose veins at the earliest stages in order to prevent the appearance of aesthetic defects and possible progression of the disease with the development of thrombosis or thromboembolism.Moreover, the disease can be treated very effectively with an integrated approach.If treatment begins at later stages, then it is very important to prevent complications.
Therefore, you should not neglect treatment even at the earliest stages, and in later stages it is important not only to treat varicose veins, which, if advanced, may require surgical treatment, but also to prevent such life-threatening complications as pulmonary embolism.
