Varicose veins – a serious chronic disease of peripheral blood vessels. Its appearance and development is caused by many factors: standing work, intense physical workload, Smoking, pregnancy, diabetes, liver disease, genetic predisposition. Pathology is the reduction of the tone of the vein walls and capillaries, which leads to the stagnation of the venous blood, local inflammation, swelling, and trophic lesions of the skin, but, more importantly, to thrombosis – the formation of a solid formation of blood clots. These clots can cause blockage of the blood vessels in the extremities with subsequent tissue necrosis, and can enter the bloodstream and penetrate into any place, – pulmonary artery, the brain or the heart. In these cases, there is a real threat for the life.
Varicose veins in men and women
According to statistics, varicose veins of the lower extremities is more common in the fair half of humanity. The reason of this eternal purpose of women – pregnancy and motherhood. During pregnancy, the body is in serious tension that affects the state of the circulatory system. However, women are very sensitive to the condition of the legs, and the first appearance of spider veins, spider veins, and even more pronounced veins, tries to take measures and to carry out the doctor-phlebologist. The result of this disease it is possible to stop at early stages.
Other men of business. In the majority of cases of varicose veins in men the treatment time the doctor is in a very advanced stage. Yes, the pregnancy men is not threatened, but they have a list of certain "masculine" factors that can determine the appearance and development of this unpleasant disease:
- standing and sedentary, especially in the low mobility of the lower limbs;
- service in the army and the police;
- intense exercise and sports activities;
- hunting, fishing, Hiking and other outdoor activities, often accompanied by hypothermia.
Men risk factors – strong Smoking tobacco and drinking beverages with a high content of ethanol. The nicotine contributes to the dysfunction of peripheral vessels. Alcohol also affects the liver cells responsible for the production of enzymes to prevent the formation of blood clots and dissolve already formed clots. The stronger a man's addiction to alcohol and tobacco, the higher the risk of varicose veins, and the most dangerous of its complications.
But the main negative factor that complicates the treatment of varicose veins of the legs in men is persistent neglect of patients should be treated. Men firmly believe that varicose veins is one of the many women of the state of mind, which is a real macho should not be ignored. It ends only when the skin of a non-healing sores and can help you at least the operation of the resection of the affected vein. It is absolutely clear that doctors may be able only to open the tip of the iceberg and that the disease has affected a much wider area. Affected in different degrees, all the vessels of the legs and after the surgery, the man has worked long and hard to recover and to be treated to prevent further manifestations of the disease, it is often much more formidable, and that leads to amputation, disability or even death result from the blockage of a major blood clot in the arteries of life-blood of ships.
The symptoms of varicose veins in the legs
In the initial stages of varicose veins in men is not different from varicose veins in women. On the skin spider veins spider veins, it is evenly colored. To reduce the sensitivity, there is a local intense pain, and hypothermia, often have painful cramps in my calves and thighs. For the night of the tibia very swollen, especially if the patient has to stand or sit for a long time in one position. The inflammation disappears during sleep. In areas of edema, often seen alopecia – the cessation of hair growth.
Over time, negative phenomena are amplified, the palpation and examination of the subcutaneous venous are distinguishable blows and glomeruli. If you do nothing, the skin becomes thinner, and there are sores, it is very difficult to treat and can lead to the development of serious lesions infectious of the skin (inflammation), soft tissue (cellulitis) and the common infection of the blood (sepsis). These risks, of course, you can't eliminate the risk of thrombosis, which are mentioned above.

Even the most courageous and confident men are very often afraid to go to the doctor-phlebologist. Some are ashamed of their supposedly "women's" disease, while others are ashamed to show the doctor what you have brought to your own body by signing up in this way, to his own cowardice. Someone shows carelessness, thinking that varicose veins in men legs – the disease is not deadly and it is best to bring the situation to the limit, and then again to cure all with the help of the modern laser coagulation ("or as this operation is called, doctor?"). Ai, which treatment is more affected veins not save all the rest, we have already spoken.
If the man finds the strength to go to the doctor, as a minimum, it is necessary to start to cure varicose veins folk remedies at home.
