A pathological change in the veins, namely their expansion - the phenomenon is not so rare. The reason for it is the reverse flow of blood, which, in general, is not typical for peripheral vessels.
Reflux - as this phenomenon is called - gradually leads to obstructed outflow of venous blood, the manifestation of stagnant phenomena, and the deterioration of oxygen supply to limb tissues. These factors negatively affect the
vessels, veins on the legs gradually lose their walls elasticity, stretch and deform.
The disease caused by these changes is called varicose veins. The problem of how to remove leg veins with varicose veins is of particular concern to women, since dilated veins are very noticeable, they create aesthetic discomfort. In addition, pain, numbness, cramps, heaviness in the legs are often worried . By the nature of the course, varicose veins can be primary or secondary, untreated disease can progress and lead to inflammatory processes or the formation of trophic ulcers.
The dilated veins in the legs, as a rule, lead the patient to the clinic, while patients experience fear, being convinced that the doctor will insist on surgery. In fact, only about 10-12 years ago, there was no question that the veins on the legs, the treatment of which was carried out by physiotherapeutic procedures, would disappear and cease to bother. Advances in modern science have enabled phlebologists to heal patients with varicose veins using special technologies, and in a very short period of time. Of course, the doctor makes the decision on the best methods of influencing the disease after conducting appropriate studies.
Leg veins are treated mainly with minimally invasive methods, which involve radical treatment without surgery. It is very important for patients that treatment is carried out without general anesthesia and has a striking result - there is not the slightest trace from sick veins.
Modern methods of treating leg veins
Firstly, it is sclerotherapy using carbon dioxide. The foam formed by the sclerosant and carbon dioxide is introduced into the vein, stops the blood flow in it and turns it into a fibrous cord, which resolves over time. You can use this method regardless of which veins in the legs have suffered from varicose veins.
The second method is laser removal of veins. He is also able to remove diseased veins without surgery. This method is based on the effect of a powerful laser pulse on the blood in the vessel. This leads to coagulation of the vein and its complete closure.
An urgent option for treating leg veins is radiofrequency ablation, which is a thermal method of influencing the inner walls of blood vessels. Perform the procedure by inserting the electrode into the lumen of the main vein. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation leads to the creation of high temperature in the vein (about 85 degrees), which causes its closure. Veins of any diameter can be treated with laser ablation. From patient reviews, you can find out about the effectiveness and painlessness of this procedure.
