What is reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities?

Varicose veins expansion of the reticular ven found a lot of adult people. How to publish disease, and whether there are effective ways therapeutic effects on diseased blood vessels?

What is it?

Reticular (from the Latin reticulum — veresoontega) were met or varicose veins the grid – it is not a separate type of pathology and the reticular form is the varicose disease, its first stage. It is characterised by the expansion of small intradermal superficial blood vessels and the appearance of telangiectasia.

Telangiectasia is visible and under the skin plexus extended up to 0.5-1 mm in arterioles, venules and capillaries, which express bluish-red spots, with offshoots, recalling the shape of the eye, arachnids plexus, sprockets.

Undiagnosed disease more frequently in women. The results of the medical research, the screen of varicose veins discovered at 35-45% of women and 15-20% of adult men.

The causes of the

The main causes of the disease:

• decreased elasticity and density of the vascular walls;
• violation of the process of blood circulation;
• unsatisfactory oral job in the veins and valves.

Among the factors that cause changes in blood vessels, secrete:

• the period of carrying a child, especially 5 to 9 month gestation due to increased blood blood vessels, increased load on the feet, squeezing ven belly-growing uterus;
• hormonal "bursts" of pregnancy and menopause;
• hereditary predisposition to weakness of the veins and the walls of the infringement due to the structure of the connective tissue;
• overweight – if the raise in bmi up to 27 kg/m², the probability of pathology rises to 30%;
• the labour inspectorate activities the long stay in the standing, sitting, at the periodical rise and raising the postponement (barrows athletes-heavyweights, vendors, hairdressers, passengers);
• wearing corsets, the straps, which adds to the pressure inside the peritoneal, narrow jeans, which squeeze the blood vessels in the zone in the groin;
• long-term application of corticosteroids and hormonal birth control pills;
• diabetes, hypertension, skin diseases, including rosacea;
• damage, limb fractures;
• excessive and long-lasting solar radiation, smoking;
• a small amount of fiber in the diet lead to long-term constipation, which is conducive to the expansion of the veins, a lack of useful substances – in order to reduce the vascular walls.

Symptoms

Additional points of interest include the basic features of the initial stage of reticular varicose veins of the:

• the appearance of a bluish-red telangiectasia — point, tähekujuline, on the net spots are of different size and brightness, which often discover your ankles under the knees, the thighs, after the pressure they fade, but immediately appear again;
• gravity, tension in the calf muscles, rapid fatigue when walking.

The symptoms that occur when the disease develops:

• spread telangiectasia clean skin, increases the capillary diameter;
• the feeling of plenitude in the legs, tingling, "ants" (paraesthesia);
• cramps in the muscles of the leg while sleeping or in the morning;
• pulling pain;
• weak swollen feet, calves, ankles in the evening, which is morning for the lost;
• skin itching over the plot of the expansion of the reticular blood vessels;
• burning on-line the damaged blood vessel;
• the muscles when you flex the calf muscles;
• gradually bulging of subcutaneous ven -, education-Bugrov size of 2-4 mm;
• the manifestation of a brownish or whitish spots in the course of the enlarged blood vessels, swelling, redness.

If time does not take action to identify disease causes and eliminate this first signs, pathology, switches the phase of the long-lasting varicose. In this case, under the skin is formed vascular nodules, the blood vessels of the make of the coil, the walking will hurt.

Progressive disease threatening consequences – acute thrombophlebitis, healing of trophic ulcers, the development of venous insufficiency, hemorrhage, thrombosis.

Diagnostics

The concept of reticular varicose veins is not complex, to a specialist. To assess the prevalence of lous in the process to the extent corrupted hemodynamic in (circulation), the distribution of speed of flow of blood, to explain the signs of thrombosis in the use of hardware detection methods:

• ultrasound investigation;
• duplex mode procedure;
• ultrasound doppler of the veins;
• x-ray, radionuclide methods.

Treatment

Treat the eyes with varicose veins, should be immediately after the diagnosis, it is not possible to jump to the disease in chronic phase, of complications.

Most of the ways to treat relieves the patient of the external signs of the disease. To treat the pathology, it is necessary to conduct extensive study on your doctor, find the root causes of the weakness of the blood vessels and violations of the blood flow.

Compression knitwear

If the net of varicose veins or the subcutaneous network of patients and healthy people over the tendency of the disease need to buy compression socks, stockings. Targeted treatment of the packing is an important part of treatment.

Packing continue to develop, to build different sections of the feet differs from the pressure.

The largest pressure drop of the ankle, since here the blood of seriously rises to the top. Storage supports and compresses the enlarged blood vessels, helping into the bloodstream, eliminating stagnation. In the area of the hips of the pressure decreases by nearly 2.5 times, as in this area the load of the blood vessels less.

The constant mild compression ven prevents the expansion, normalizes microcirculation, eliminates swelling, prevents clogging between the blood clots.

Other bezoperatsionnye methods of treatment

Among others, the common conservative methods of treatment of net veins in the micro-sclerotherapy and laser coagulation.

Micro-sclerotherapy – the most common method to restore the reticular veins and eliminate the telangiectasia. If the procedure is used special substances that without these cuts the needle is inserted into the blood vessel inside. The substance causes micro damage to the inner walls of the vein or capillary. Damage to the increased narrowing of the internal clearance. The plot is a former blood vessels, formed a rope out of the connective tissue (type of scar), which is independently absorbed in 10-12 months.

Sclerotherapy practice liquid technique, when the vessel is injected into the liquid composition, or more progressive technology — Foam-form sclerotherapy (foam). In another version, a valid solution is a micro-foam, which is best spread over the affected land in the plan.

Often spend time in the made in video surveillance, by controlling the process by means of a duplex scanner.

Laser coagulation of blood vessels – mild and at the same time effective method, which ensures the removal procedure is fast, bloodlessly, without affecting healthy tissue. Procedure the ULTRASOUND control.

Through the skin puncture the doctor will enter the lumen of the sick in the vein of the thin catheter, a laser fiber. A higher temperature from the ray of the laser, the walls of damaged blood vessels closed.

Regardless of the number of vascular branches log in, sclerotherapy and laser coagulation lasts for 15 to 60 minutes. That expressed of treatment outcome is needed 2 to 5 sessions.

Treatment using sclerotherapy and the laser beam to spend more on outpatient and with local anesthesia under. The patient leaves the clinic may later be 2-4 hours. After the procedure the treated area limited by oppressive bandage 4 to 10 days. Packing working from 7 to 30 days. 2-4 per day the patient returns to normal rhythm of life.

After the treatment recommended for 3-4 months:

• drink 2-3 liters a day to maintain fluid properties in the blood;
• take all the drugs are assigned to you by your doctor;
• not to forget the packing piece to the long-term walking, staying in the workplace sitting down or standing;
• a lot of walk;
• to give up the high heels.

Other methods to treat reticular veins of the include 3 the possibility of treatment.

1. Radio frequency destruction of blood vessels (technique EVRF, RFO). Radiowave radiation is encountered in the medical apparatus, locked out on a limb catheter. The effect of radio waves the walls of the veins together, the advanced vessel will be lost and fabrics that make up the instead, solves.
2. Thermal occlusion of the micro pulses of the couple (technique, SVS). A technique developed by the French medics. Provides handling of the lumen veenilaiendidtion the blood vessels of warm steam, coming through to inject the catheter. The steam penetrates into hard to access, anatomically convoluted vascular branches, the narrowing and the "bonding" of capillaries and venuless.
3. The methodology of the treatment of biological glue (venas in the meantime) – a new very effective and gentle way. Commonly used in the treatment of reticular ven in the early stages of expansion. The ship under the control of the UZI with a syringe and inject the catheter with a special adhesive. Way to dramatically shrink, the walls of the total. Subcutaneous vascular mesh disappear almost immediately. The processing of small blood vessels do not need to wear a compression cast after the procedure. Allergic reactions are excluded, since the special adhesive – natural product.

Surgical treatment

Phlebectomy – surgery when the varicose veins of the lower extremities. This occurs when the diameter of the enlarged blood vessels reaches 10 mm.

Through a small incision the surgeon locates the surface of the vessel, which bandaging and cuts. The operation goes under local anesthesia. The intervention takes place with minimum damage to the tissues, does not leave a cosmetic error.

People treatment

Recipes home medicine in the treatment of reticular varicose veins to use in addition to treatment. A good result will give the tools if you give a request for medicines from the pharmacy ointments, wearing a compression cast, especially in the first stage of the telangiectasia.

1. Clean without to prepare the young fruit is the chestnut (50 g) finely chopped, pour a glass of vodka and leave for 20 days. After straining for 3 weeks, three times a day for 15-20 drops. After 2 weeks break can be repeated.
2. Cabbage leaves, wash and put in cold is 24 hours. Before bedtime, dry skin of the affected area to put plates and is not tight to put onto. Treatment took place every day for 1-2 months.
3. Dry birch buds covered jar with a capacity of 0.5 liters of 1/3. Pour the vodka side, about 10 days. The tincture gently ground plots telangiectasia.

Prevention

In order to avoid the emergence of subcutaneous "stars" should follow the recommendations:

• not to include the severity, including bags of groceries;
• do not take a hot bath, not to visit the sauna;
• wearing elastic tights or stockings pressed;
• more home keep the feet horizontal in the elevated position;
• at work while sitting is to create the conditions, that the lower part would be in a horizontal position, so every 2-3 hours to make a 10-minute break dedicated gymnastics activate blood flow;
• more to move, to do hiking, do not to overwork;
• to make a contrasting shower or bath for the feet;
