Are varicose veins a chronic disease and are varicose veins a disease?

Leg varicose veins usually appear as raised blue cord-like veins under the skin that can appear anywhere on the body but often involve the legs and feet. Visible swollen and twisted veins surrounded by patches of capillary bleeding (called spider veins) can be seen in superficial varicose veins. Although the blood vessels are painful and deformed, they are usually harmless.

When infected, tenderness occurs and causes impaired blood circulation, swelling of the ankle** itching and pain in the infected limb appears.

Varicose veins of the legsIn addition to the superficial network of veins, the legs have an internal or deep network of veins. Rarely, internal leg varicose veins, deep varicose veins that are usually not visible but often cause swelling or pain throughout the leg. Deep varicose veins are often the site of thrombosis.

Deep vein infection or embolic phlebitis in the thigh or pelvis can cause pulmonary embolism, a disease with a high mortality rate.

There are many ways to do this, and you can choose one according to your situation.

Varicose veins in the legs**: Mild varicose veins do not require a doctor's supervision**: Basic home and other** methods can reduce the discomfort caused by varicose veins.

Leg varicose veins routine**.

Superficial varicose veins are not normally needed, but they should not be ignored. To alleviate discomfort, your doctor may recommend compression stockings, which apply pressure at the ankle joint to increase the pumping function of the leg muscles. Put it on in the morning after waking up, straighten it so that all parts are even, and it doesn't feel too tight on the calves and groin.

It should be worn all the time.

To reduce the occasional swelling and pain of varicose veins in the legs, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin or fenbufen. If you notice ulcers or discoloration around varicose veins, or persistent pain with no obvious external symptoms, contact your doctor right away to determine if you have deep varicose veins.

Leg varicose veins can be removed in several ways. Spider veins can be removed with a laser alone. Mild superficial varicose veins can be treated with a sclerosing agent**:

Injection of a sclerosing agent into a vein collapses the vein, so blood is no longer transmitted. More severe cases may be treated with surgery or ablation. Unfortunately, there is none** to prevent new varicose veins.

Discuss all options with a specialist or vascular surgeon before undergoing a special session.

What causes varicose veins?

Varicose veins are a disease of the venous system, which is the appearance of valves that are not tightly closed. The blood of the deep veins enters the superficial veins through the vein valves that are not tightly closed, and the blood of the superficial veins cannot enter the deep veins in time, which will lead to increased venous pressure in the superficial veins, and stagnant venous blood, which will lead to varicose veins. It has congenital and acquired factors, as well as some triggers, which together induce the formation of varicose veins.

Congenital factors include KT syndrome, which is a vascular disorder that causes congenital varicose veins. Acquired factors, including venous valve insufficiency, iliac vein compression, and deep vein thrombosis, can lead to increased pressure in superficial veins, resulting in varicose veins. On the ground, it is mainly based on conservative and surgical methods.

Conservative is the method taken for mild symptoms or secondary superficial varicose veins; Surgery is performed for primary venous valve insufficiency. Both of these methods have a certain effect on varicose veins, and the surgical method can completely ** varicose veins.

Varicose veins, as the name suggests, are thick "green tendons" that appear on the legs, which are tortuous and prominent. In the past, the understanding of varicose veins tended to stop at the increase in venous pressure caused by long-term standing. Now, scientific research has shown that varicose veins are associated with prolonged sitting and estrogen, in addition to long-term standing.

Unlike men, women's varicose veins mostly occur in urban office populations.

Why do we feel like farmers come to mind when we think of varicose veins? Why is the incidence of varicose veins in urban populations beginning to exceed in rural areas? There are two main reasons for this, one is that rural patients do not have much scruples about varicose veins on their legs, and they often roll up their trouser legs when they work, which is more conspicuous.

And city dwellers, especially women, will protect the varicose veins on their legs very tightly from outsiders. Second, the long-term sitting work of urban white-collar workers is also the cause of poor venous return of the lower limbs.

Varicose veins of the lower limbs generally go through a course of more than 10 years, which will gradually cause edema of the lower limbs, darkening of the lower leg ** (pigmentation), stasis dermatitis, venous thrombosis pain, and even ulcers. In the past, due to financial constraints and concerns about surgery, many people would buy some products on the market that were falsely and exaggeratedly advertised, delaying the disease.

Don't be nervous if you have varicose veins. Formal conservatism** includes: (1) avoiding prolonged standing or sitting postures, walking can use the pump action of the calf muscles to promote venous return; (2) Elevation of the lower limbs can alleviate symptoms such as edema; (3) Wearing elastic stockings with pressure gradient can delay the development of the disease' (4) Some drugs can play an auxiliary role, and the commonly used ones are Aimailang, Maizhiling tablets, etc.

Of course, if you want to completely ** varicose veins, surgery should be the first choice. For women who are desperate to get rid of varicose veins in their lower limbs, minimally invasive surgery** offers a great opportunity. Hospitalization usually takes only 2 to 3 days, and varicose veins can be removed through minimally invasive surgery without even hospitalization (same-day surgery for varicose veins).

The best chance of surgery is the early stage and the fastest recovery.

Excerpt from an article by Zhang Qiang, a well-known vascular surgeon in Shanghai.

Varicose veins of the lower extremities are a common condition, especially in people who perform prolonged physical labor or work on standing. It is mainly manifested as dilation, elongation and tortuosity of the saphenous vein of the lower limbs, resulting in symptoms such as soreness, fatigue and heaviness of the affected limbs, and in severe cases, it is often accompanied by complications such as calf ulcer or superficial phlebitis.

Most of the patients are athletes and teachers who stand for a long time, and when they stand, the gravity goes down, and the blood has to return to the heart from the most distal point, and if the veins are insufficiency, the veins will dilate and varicose, resulting in venous hypertension in the lower limbs.

Although varicose veins of the lower limbs are not painful or itchy, they will not threaten life, but if they are not timely, they may cause serious consequences such as calf ulcers and venous thrombosis.

What are varicose veins? Why varicose veins.

What causes varicose veins?

Varicose veins refer to the tortuosity and dilation of veins due to factors such as blood stagnation and weak venous walls. Varicose veins can occur in many parts of the body, such as hemorrhoids are actually a kind of varicose veins, and clinical manifestations include esophageal and gastric varices, varicoceles and abdominal wall varices. Varicose veins most often occur in the lower extremities.

It is worth emphasizing that varicose veins are secondary manifestations of other lesions.

Varicose veins are a disease of the venous system,** which is the appearance of a vein valve that is not tightly closed. Deep vein blood enters the superficial vein through a weakly closed venous valve, and the superficial venous blood cannot enter the deep vein in time, which can cause increased venous pressure in the superficial vein. At this point, blood stagnates in the veins, which can lead to varicose veins.

Varicose veins are induced by a combination of congenital factors, acquired factors, and triggers, such as the following:

1. Congenital factors: vascular diseases such as KT syndrome can cause congenital varicose veins;

2. Acquired factors: including venous valve insufficiency, iliac vein compression, deep vein thrombosis, etc.

The main types of varicose veins are as follows:

1. Conservative**: for mild symptoms or secondary superficial varicose veins;

2. Surgery**: For primary venous valve insufficiency, varicose veins can be cured.

There are three types of methods for varicose veins of the lower limbs, including: support, varicose vein sclerosis and surgery. So far, there are no drugs that can completely ** varicose veins of the lower limbs.

Wearing medical sequential compression stockings is the most effective method of support**. Here are the three best ways to get varicose veins::

1. Compression** method (support**): wear elastic stockings or use elastic bandages to compress to reduce venous reflux and congestion. Medical sequential decompression compression stockings are a kind of product that has the function of promoting the return of venous blood to the lower limbs.

The medical sequential decompression compression stockings establish the highest support pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease it up the leg. Reduce to 70%-90% of the maximum pressure value in the calf and 25%-45% of the maximum pressure value in the thighThis decreasing change in pressure can lead to the return of venous blood in the lower extremities, effectively relieving or improving the pressure on the veins and venous valves of the lower extremities.

The best time to wear sequential compression stockings is when you get up in the morning, because at this time, the blood circulation is most smooth and the swelling has not yet started or you can raise your legs for 5 to 10 minutes before wearing compression stockings, this action can prevent blood from flowing back, and the effect of this action is more significant for people who stand for a long time.

2. Sclerosing agent**: The sclerosing agent is injected into the vein to destroy endothelial cells, causing vasospasm and inflammatory reactions to form thrombosis and fibrosis, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating varicose veins. It is best used for small vein dilation.

Including allergies, local pain, necrosis and pigmentation, etc. If the sclerosing agent is accidentally injected into the artery, it can cause acral necrosis and amputation.

3. Surgery**: The purpose is to remove varicose veins, and the surgical methods include: high saphenous vein ligation, vein stripping, perforated vein ligation or simple phlebectomy.

Not all varicose veins are surgically removed, and it is important to make sure that the deep veins are open before surgery. The following patients may be operated on**:

Symptoms such as soreness and swelling are severe and unbearable.

Recurrence of thrombophlebitis. Blood vessel rupture and bleeding.

Blood stagnation causes complications such as inflammation and ulcers.

You will still need to wear an elastic bandage or compression stockings for a short time after surgery. There is still a chance of varicose veins** after surgery. Therefore, people who are prone to varicose veins should pay attention to prevention, that is, to avoid standing or sitting for a long time (if it is unavoidable, you can wear elastic socks), and have appropriate exercise.

Varicose veins are the twisting, dilated veins adjacent to the surface, most commonly in the legs and ankles. Varicose veins are usually not serious, but they can sometimes cause other conditions.

Varicose veins are caused by weak veins and valves in the legs.

The subcutaneous veins are dark blue, swollen, and twisted. Some people have no symptoms.

The goal of varicose veins is to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. For some patients, the goal may be to improve appearance. Usually the first to adopt at home**, such as exercising and wearing compression stockings.

Varicose vein symptoms are the most common diseases of the venous system, and the main reason for the formation is due to the congenital vascular wall membrane is relatively weak or the same posture is rarely changed for a long time, blood accumulation in the lower limbs, and the venous valve is destroyed over time and the venous pressure is too high, which is a symptom of the protruding surface of the blood vessels. Varicose veins mostly occur in the lower extremities.

The main symptom is that the superficial blood vessels are varicose like earthworms, and the varicose is obviously protruding ** and is clumpy or nodular.

1. The superficial blood vessels are varicose like earthworms, and the varicose is obviously protruding and is clumpy or nodular. This is the most common symptom of varicose veins.

2. The symptoms of varicose veins include ascites, hepatosplenomegaly; Patients with varicose veins may vomit blood and black stool; Pain in the affected limb with generalized edema in both lower extremities is exacerbated with exercise, sometimes at rest, and worse at night.

3. There is a strange feeling in the limbs, cold limbs, hot flashes in the limbs, and the affected limbs of varicose veins become thinner and thicker**, and there are a series of symptoms of varicose veins such as pinprick, itching, numbness, and burning.

4. There is a feeling of soreness in the legs, and patients with varicose veins are heavy at night, and there is light pigmentation in the morning, and the color is dark, and there is scaling, itching, and edema of the ankles. Symptoms of these varicose veins are also common.

Genetic factors. The body itself is stunted and has fewer muscle fibers. Long hours of labor and long periods of sitting or standing for long periods of time can lead to:

The phenomenon of varicose veins occurs. And there are some occupations that require standing for long periods of time that also occur the phenomenon of varicose veins. It slowly gets worse with age.

There are many causes of varicose veins, it may be because of bad habits, frequent use of some greasy foods, sedentary lifestyle, or because of people with heavy physical labor in the city, or because of high blood pressure and high blood lipids.

There are mainly physiological causes, pathological causes, genetic causes, multiple diseases, and blood causes, so you must pay attention to your diet in your life, and also pay attention to your exercise habits, and never cause varicose veins.

It may be due to physical exhaustion, or it is infected with a disease, or it may be due to inattention to life, irregular diet, frequent late stays, or it may be caused by disease defects.
