It pulls the veins will not return to normal and will disappear with the help of tablets, ointments, herbs, and even more conspiracies, and other non-traditional methods of treatment.

Welcome to the website dedicated to the phenomenon of sleep and the quality of life. I hope the information is useful.
Modern medicine and vascular surgery to date, are the only panacea and come with an aesthetic and surgical treatments. But about all under the order.
With the intake of internal medicines you can get rid of varicose veins forever
Fact. Modern pharmaceutical market offers a wide range of drugs. All of them have similar substance (plant flavonoids), and low effectiveness and side effects. Tonic for the veins not to save you from varicose veins, but from the heaviness, swelling and night cramps are very possible.
Creams and gels will cure varicose veins
Fact. The sellers and growers the promise of a high-efficiency, it should be understood that the gels and creams do not eliminate the varicose veins. The massage promotes venous outflow, acts as a gentle massage and has a calming effect on the skin in the initial phase of the disease.
When the varicose veins operation, some creams and ointments can cause dermatitis and allergic reaction, which exacerbates the problem. Thrombophlebitis prescribed the use of heparin means that thin the blood and helps to eliminate the inflammation.
Thanks to the active is very popular gels and creams with leeches. According to the doctors, shaman, these products do not have any relationship or leeches or drugs. A waste of time and money, is the site of self-hypnosis.
Leeches cure varicose veins
Fact. The saliva of leeches rich hirudin that thins the blood. This fact is the main reason for the ignorance of the people to resort to leeches for varicose veins, confusing it with thrombophlebitis.
Blood thinners will not affect the varicose veins, that is caused by the increase of the venous lumen and the insufficiency of the valve. About the danger posed by this kind of treatment in silence.
The result of the treatment can be the pigmentation of the skin at the site of the bites, prolonged bleeding of wounds. This is the best. In the worst develop dermatitis, limfostazom, PHLEBOTHROMBOSIS, and even gangrene of the limb.
In the composition of the saliva of the leeches in a large quantity of allergens that can with chronic stasis venous can cause inflammatory and allergic reactions that destroy the skin and aggravating varicose veins.
Phlebology recognize this type of treatment directly quackery, dangerous to the health of the patient. Leech therapy is especially contraindicated in ulcers.
The compression tights eliminate the causes of varicose veins and the disease itself
Fact. The use of elastic medical compression is shown in the early stages of the disease to radical measures. Compression of the dilated varicose veins, promotes the redistribution of the blood flow external to the affected deep veins, removes the stagnation of blood in the veins.
While elastic compression does not remove the cause of the disease, and only simulates a situation in which the veins are "sealed" or removed. For the correct size and recommend to bring can only Phlebology.
Treatments for varicose veins
Currently, the methods of treatment of varicose veins has been simplified and almost all are performed on an outpatient basis, and if it requires hospitalization, only for one or two days. The main types of treatment: sclerotherapy, laser coagulation, ablation by radiofrequency, surgery.
Experienced Professionals tend to use several methods at the same time. Consider the most common, its pros and cons.
Sclerotherapy
This non-surgical method of removal of the patients to the veins. The boat is entered sklerozant, special liquid preparation that glues vein, which eventually disappears. The blood ceases to flow to the affected area and redistributed healthy through the veins.
Sclerotherapy was applied at the beginning of the last century, now the procedure has become less hazardous and traumatic. Sklerozant is introduced into the vein of the patient with thin needles or microcatheters. A session can last up to 4 injections, and the number of sessions is determined by the severity of the disease.
After the injection, the patient wears compression tights, it is recommended to walk (up to 5 hours) to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Elastic compression must be carried during the course of treatment, and at the end (4 weeks).
Sclerotherapy improves blood flow, dilation of the blood vessels to disappear, are the swelling, pain, cramps and fatigue. The points that appear at the top of the removed veins, finally, pass.
Sclerotherapy includes:
- If sclerotherapy
- ECHO-sclerotherapy (injected sklerozant right on target, thanks to the ultrasound to see the vein lumen),
- Foam-form sclerotherapy. Sklerozant turns into a foam, introduced into a vessel that allows you to "seal" well great, even the veins.
Sclerotherapy guarantees the long-term medical and cosmetic result, and in some cases, a lifetime. Only 25% of patients with varicose veins running can not count with their full recovery. The manifestation of the disease is considerably reduced.
Contraindications:
- Individual intolerance to sklerozant.
- Taking anti-inflammatory drugs and hormonal drugs.
- The unwanted weight.
- Running cellulite in the affected veins.
- Inflammatory and purulent diseases of the skin of the feet.
- Pregnancy.
- Thrombophlebitis.
Pros:
- Outpatient treatment allows you to keep your way of life.
- Aesthetic effect is immediately noticeable, the scars remain.
- Minimal pain during the treatment.
- It is possible to remove some of the veins.
Cons:
There is no guarantee any permanent result. To achieve this, you need to begin treatment with the elimination of the causes of varicose veins.
Resistant to compression hosiery, it is possible to withdraw for a short time for the hygiene of the procedures.
Laser treatment — "office surgery"
Photocoagulation — laser treatment of varicose veins with the closure of its light. It is the latest development of the German specialists called endovenous (intravascular) or endovasal coagulation (EVLT or EVLT). Currently widely applied in the leading clinics of Russia and abroad.
With EVLT there is a "welding" (ablation) of the damaged veins through a high-energy laser without incisions. For thermal treatment with laser from the inside of the vein injected a special fiber through the puncture, there is a spasm of the vein, the light, enclosed in its interior. Vienna is eliminated from the bloodstream, and are then replaced by connective tissue.
The degree of impact of EVLK in patients veins higher than sclerotherapy and achieves the effect equivalent to the classical vein removal.
Coagulation Intravascular is recognized as the least traumatic and quick modern way to remove varicose veins.
The minimum operating time (about 40 minutes) and recovery (up to 4 hours), with local anesthesia — all of these factors led to the treatment of the "office surgery". The patient after the surgery can leave the clinic on their own, and to return to the place of work.
Pros.
Intravascular laser ablation is a worthy alternative to surgical intervention:
- Excellent aesthetic effect — during the surgery there is no incision.
- As soon as EVLT procedure takes less than an hour.
- The quick recovery that gives you the opportunity not to leave the job.
- The coagulation laser is controlled by the directions of the ultrasound, which improves the quality of care, postoperative complications minimized.
- The absence of bruising and blue.
Cons:
- The operation cost is very high
- The large diameter of veins does not remove the need for incisions.
- Vienna large diameter can sink yourself later and back.
VNUS. The ablation by radiofrequency
The new method developed by the international scientific community in order to find the most perfect remedy for varicose veins of the legs. In North America and Europe, the method is practiced for more than 10 years, Russia has put into practice large clinics recently.
VNUS — endovasal method used to treat the affected varicose veins large veins of the trunk. In the puncture, injected radio-frequency catheter, "medicandi" Vienna by microwave exposure. The catheter has sensors that measure the usefulness and efficiency of a thermal effect on the vein wall.
Pros:
- Outpatient conditions.
- Local Anesthesia.
- Preservation of disability.
- Without incisions.
- Fast recovery of the patient (30 minutes after the surgery). In a week you can exercise.
- The lack of pain and bruising in the majority of cases.
- High-security.
Cons:
- High Cost.
- It can produce burns that are quickly.
- Decrease of the concentration in the day of the surgery (you cannot drive a car and participate in other activities that require concentration).
In the United States the ablation by radiofrequency is used much less frequently than laser photocoagulation. This is due to the high cost to almost equal results. Coagulation gives a higher percentage of the complete disappearance of the veins thanks to the introduction of a new generation of lasers, providing higher efficiency and the absence of bruising.
Radical methods
At the start of thrombophlebitis, eczema, trophic ulcers sclerotherapy and other procedures bezoperatsionnye do later. In this case, the doctors were likely to resort to surgical methods, combining them with sclerotherapy.
Many clinics offer high-tech microsurgical methods of removal of sick veins that less traumatic (it allows a small incision to remove the entire diseased vein), do not leave scars and scars, in the short term (after 40 minutes, the patient can go home).
In the opinion of phlebology, to be afraid of the elimination of varicose veins is not affected. The blood engorged veins are a serious threat to health and life. After his elimination, the circulation normal, healthy veins removed redundant load.
In conclusion, the article on the modern methods of treatment of varicose veins, we want to offer the Test. Answers to the questions will not take more than 5 minutes of your time, but will allow you to identify the symptoms of varicose veins in the legs and the extent of its risk.
