Varicose veins on the legs do not belong to diseases that cause particular anxiety. Yes, this is undoubtedly a serious disease, but nevertheless it does not pose a direct threat to human life, it has been studied quite well, however ...
Not at all pursuing the goal of excessive dramatization, we will objectively consider the causes of this disease, possible negative consequences and measures to prevent (eliminate) them.
So, varicose veins on the legs. Reduced vascular tone is characterized by (congenital or “acquired”) weakness of the
venous valves, which are unable to withstand the outflow of blood. This provokes an increase in pressure on the walls of the vessels, causing abnormal expansion of the veins. As a result - stagnation of blood. This threatens the formation of a blood clot with the subsequent development of the inflammatory process.
A proven method of treatment over the years is vein removal. As it turned out, this is by no means a panacea. Insufficient blood circulation in the limb inevitably forces the body to resort to a radical solution - the birth of new veins. An alternative option (increasing the load on existing ones) inevitably leads to varicose veins of new “victims”.
As you can see, everything is not so simple. And if we add that, according to statistics, at least half of women and a quarter of the male population of the planet are affected by this disease at a “critical” age after forty years, then the conclusion is obvious: varicose veins on the legs deserve close attention. Moreover, both on the part of physicians and potential patients. And this is not to mention the fact that the tendency to varicose veins smoothly passes into the danger of vascular thrombosis - an extremely serious disease, in some cases involving the
amputation of limbs left without blood supply.
Impressed by the seriousness of the moment, we will be extremely attentive to the recommendations of professionals. Prevention of varicose veins of the legs is the most optimal solution to the problem. It is rather scrupulous to follow simple recommendations: a balanced diet (preference should be given to products containing vitamin "C"), sufficient motor activity, regularly "pumping" blood through the vessels, and smoking cessation. In addition, an ointment based on heparin and troxerutin has an excellent prophylactic effect on varicose veins of the legs.
Unfortunately, these tips do not save those who have a predisposition to the disease "inherited" from their parents. If one of them suffered from a disease, it is highly likely to project it on the offspring.
But the same doctors insist: varicose veins on the legs are completely treatable, it, like most ailments, is prone to healing. There is no reason for pessimism. The developed methods can not only completely eliminate the disease, but also preserve the aesthetic beauty of the lower extremities (if such a definition does not offend the beautiful half of humanity, which, denying age, never ceases to take care of its legs).
Modern medicine can work wonders. The main requirement for people who want to avoid contact with it is compliance with the above requirements, refusal of self-medication, timely access to professionals. Well, and, of course, enduring faith in yourself!
