During the normal circulation of the blood in the human body actively working as the arteries that the blood supply is down, and the vein that returns its top – two circles of the circulation of the blood, which they say still in school when studying the human anatomy. Process of circulation vein "runs" the heart, as all things in our body, and for the organization of work of the heart muscle and the blood rises. The blood was rising with the aftershocks, with the fixing in some places where the blood vessels, there are valves that will not allow the blood to fall.
With the active movement of a person, for example, when walking, the muscles regularly contract and relax, enabling the blood flow from the lower valve of the valve that is located above the vein, etc. This description of the normal flow of blood through the vein, but if the valve is not fully reduced, if the walls of the veins are stretched out, if the light from the vein, is more large, then there is reverse flow of blood, which causes alterations in the blood vessels. This disease has veins called varicose veins. Take a closer look at what this disease is, what are their causes and possible prevention of varicose veins.
WHY THE VALVES STOP WORKING CORRECTLY?
The valves are only in the relationship (communication) veins connecting superficial and deep veins. Work complete valve of "pass" of the blood in the deep veins, but do not allow her back, pushing up through the blood vessels. The expansion of the vein between the valves closed, a small gap, which allows blood to return to the deep or superficial veins.
Accumulation of blood brings in more stretching of the walls of the vessel, and the clearance between the valves increases. Refluxes – pathological countercurrents in the veins superficial to cause the formation of stars, which then formed a venous node that appears under the skin, and a vicious cycle of disease continues. In order to break this circle without the help of doctors, using only the creams and pills is impossible.
Vienna never be reduced to the desired diameter, because the elasticity of its walls is lost, the disease or slow down or stop the use of the surgery. The symptoms of varicose veins, their causes, the treatment is necessary to know more on the correct way of life has become their first, and only then, the disease will ease off, and their development can be contained.
Defective work of the venous valves caused by unfavorable factors, which affect the man, and the wrong way of life is only one factor. Vienna does not have its system of compression-relaxation to the momentum of the blood up to the work in your muscles.
If the muscles are not active due to sedentary work, the individual, immobility, lack of exercise or regular walking, many hours sitting behind the wheel or at a computer monitor, then "win" the disease is possible without the presence of a genetic predisposition. You should know that varicose veins of the causes of the disease is not only the changes that occur in the vessels of the legs, this is a complex change that affects the entire human body.
THE MAIN CAUSES OF VARICOSE VEINS, THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE DEGREES OF THE DISEASE
Visible symptoms of varicose veins appear much later than the disease itself, because if their relatives were the symptoms of the disease to be observed and analyzed by a doctor-phlebologist is necessary. Various causes of varicose veins give rise to some confusion in the medical world, because it was always considered that the best way to avoid the disease is prevention. In the case of a varicose vein prevention may not be considered 100% means, because the main cause of the appearance of varicose veins is heredity.
It does not matter that the family had problems with the veins, where was located the problem areas, the disease is localized in any place of Vienna in the groin, leg or anus. In the presence of the gene responsible for this disease, the disease can manifest at any age. Of course, the most common of varicose veins of the lower extremities, but that does not negate the possibility of manifestations of the disease in any part of the body.
The reasons for the development of varicose veins, the rapidity and the severity of the disease depend on the behavior of the patient, and his perseverance to try and maintain the necessary lifestyle. Weak venous wall can be healthy in the absence of factors adverse, Vienna not to extend unless there is a reason for it. In addition to the inheritance to distinguish from other causes of the disease are:
- Sedentary or immobile (people with disabilities) life-style.
- Gender – women the disease is more frequent.
- Hours of driving, work team, including all the professions, to force a person to sit for a long time.
- Heavy physical exertion, the constant of nature (athletes, porters, and other professions where people are constantly forced to remain quiet – hairdressers, salesmen, carpenters, joiners, etc.).
- High-heel shoes, carrying heavy bags and so on.
- The absence of change of activity during a daily cycle, monotonous static work.
This is just a small list of the causes of the disease, so that has to be regularly as the survey phlebologist, especially in cases where there is heaviness in the legs or swelling. And if your relatives in any of the lines is, this type of problems, the specialist should be your observation doctor as soon as possible to avoid the progression of the disease.
If you do not deal with the treatment of varicose veins, after venous the veins of the legs to a hospital bed will need a little time, and between man and painful death would be the only way of salvation, a surgical scalpel.
Doctors have identified 6 main stages of varicose veins:
- Zero stage, when gradually the symptoms similar to the symptoms of varicose veins is a heaviness in the legs, swelling, sometimes even seizures during night sleep or rest. According to the study Doppler or visually detect the presence of the disease is not possible.
- Stage 1 – symptoms remain, it is added venous stars, venous pronounced grid on the legs.
- 2nd stage or stage of this disease when a person can be seen in the skin nodules of blue or thickened veins. Sometimes it is considered in the muscles change the position of the body. Since there are nodules, then there is a stagnation of the blood in the deep veins, which promotes the formation of blood clots.
- Phase 3 is the appearance of a strong edema in the night. In the morning, the swelling may not be, but during the day they are back, sore feet, frequent cramps.
- Phase 4 is characterized by the appearance of trophic nodules that can quickly move to the stage of the ulcers. The color of the skin on our feet is changing from dark brown, almost black. May develop atrophy of the skin, trophic ulcers.
- Stage 5 – all of this, the symptoms, the past and the newly opened trophic ulcer.
- Stage 6 – is the presence of a constant trophic ulcers, are prone to expansion and deepening.
The surgery can be carried out in phase 1, when the wall of small vessels glued with a special introduction of the injectable composition. With laser coagulation glue large vessels. In both cases, the recovery after the surgery wearing a special Jersey, the rejection of high heels, in addition, absolutely can not lift weights. In more complicated surgical operations on the veins, the surgeons make an individual appointment for a period of rehabilitation.
CAUSES OF VARICOSE VEINS IN WOMEN
In fact, the majority of patients with this diagnosis are women, and parous, or ladies who are obese, the risk "to" varicose veins of the lower extremities is much higher in those who regularly enter in sports, and walk a lot. Hormonal drug for the treatment of infertility or menopause can also lead to the rapid development of varicose veins.
Women are 2-3 times more predisposed to the disease than men. Hormone therapy is another factor that can cause the disease, because the yellow body hormone relaxes the muscles, relieve the muscle spasms, but this action extends to the wall venous. Inflammation of the pelvic organs and cause the appearance of the disease.
Women use shoes with high heels are at risk. But to be honest, visually distinguish 7 cm heel 11 cm hard, so it is recommended to wear shoes with low heels or intermittent. The majority of women are either sedentary work or repetitive work associated with a position of the body. When sedentary work must arrange a time to foot, with a foot practical work of vacation at least once per hour. Light gymnastics and massage of the feet also not excessive.
CAUSES OF VARICOSE VEINS IN MEN
Usually, the disease affects truck drivers who are forced to spend many hours behind the wheel. There are men who are involved in sports with high physical demands, construction workers, longshoremen and those who are forced to work, while maintaining a single body position. High intra-abdominal pressure during weight lifting causes malfunction of vascular valve, and the pressure in the veins in a constant sitting position of the body. In addition, men do not tend to pay much attention to the appearance of their feet as women, so they go to the doctor in late stages of the disease.
Not know that varicose veins can affect not only the legs but other organs, men can get varicose veins of the spermatic cord – varicocele, the disease that affects one out of every ten men in the country. The infertility is the result of the disease, although surgery can correct the situation.
CAUSES OF VARICOSE VEINS OF THE SMALL PELVIS
Frequent constipation during pregnancy, cough prolonged, severe sneezing with colds create the preconditions for the appearance of varicose veins in the veins that run along the rectum. In fact, this disease is hemorrhoids which can suffer anyone. It is necessary to promptly treat hemorrhoids, eat well, move a lot to avoid the pathology of the veins in this region. It is important to remember that wherever the disease: prevention and treatment must be complemented by a special way of life, taking into account the specificity of the disease.
THE DISEASE OF VARICOSE VEINS IN TEENAGERS: CAUSES
Anything that can trigger the appearance of varicose veins in adults also applies to adolescents. In puberty in boys 14-15 years varicocele is manifested due to the specific structure of the body, the increase of hormones, nervous overloads, related to the physical or emotional stress. Arterial-venous fistulas, or holes between the blood vessels can cause the onset of varicose veins in the legs.
In girls before menstruation, you may also experience swelling in the legs, pain and heaviness in the lower part of the abdomen, in the legs, which rapidly disappear after cessation of the discharge. Frequent bleeding due to poor diet, the desire to lose weight can also cause the appearance of varicose veins.
