Asterisks can decorate a Christmas tree, a ceiling in the bedroom or a wedding hairstyle. It turns out usually festively and brilliantly. But if the “stars” are decorated with women’s feet, then this is the direct route to the surgeon, as similar stars and mesh indicate that their owner begins varicose veins.
Sitting and walking on heels can lead to varicose veins
Perhaps, such a cosmetic defect someone solves with black pantyhose or trousers, but this is not a way out of the situation – the primary varicose has the property to develop.
After the blue streams, “stars” and “mesh” from the sapphires began to be clearly visible under the skin, after a while there is a feeling of heaviness and fatigue in the legs. Heaviness is accompanied by swelling and darkening of the skin, and abrasions and cuts do not heal very long.
The next stage of the disease is the appearance of varicose sores. They arise because of a bad outflow of blood, and the slightest trauma provokes their sprawling all over the lower leg. But most importantly, in the varicose veins, thrombi often form, which can at any moment come off. In this case, along with the blood flow, they enter the pulmonary artery. And this is a direct threat to life.
Causes
The main reason for the occurrence of varicose veins is the lack of elasticity of the walls of the vessels. Contribute to the development of the disease, many factors: heredity, problems with the gastrointestinal tract, overweight, hormonal disorders (you need to be careful when taking hormonal contraceptives) and many gynecological disorders. Varicose veins often develop during pregnancy. Increased risk of smoking and walking on high heels.
Many hours of sedentary work, as well as the habit of putting one foot on the other also causes stagnation of blood. If during the day you have to spend most of your time standing, then varicose veins are almost guaranteed – it’s not for nothing that this ailment is called “a disease of the hairdressers”. Alcohol and coffee also provoke the appearance of varicose veins.
Methods of treatment
Conservative. The doctor advises to change the way of life, prescribes medication and wearing compression linen, or elastic bandaging.
Sclerotherapy. This method of treating varicose veins is based on the “filling” of a diseased vein with the introduction of a special solution, as a result of which it is excluded from the bloodstream and gradually disappears. The final gluing of varicose veins is achieved with the help of an elastic bandage or compression stocking. Sclerotization is effective only with the initial forms of varicose veins. When the disease is started, this treatment can even be dangerous.
Operational. Surgical intervention is required to remove the altered veins at the chronic stage of the disease. In cases where only the subcutaneous and connective veins are affected, the correctly performed surgery in most cases guarantees complete recovery. For this purpose, a special seamless technology is widely used, when varicose veins are removed through puncture of the skin. In the postoperative period within one and a half to two months, it is necessary to wear compression stockings and physiotherapy.
