Varicose veins is a disease that not only spoils the aesthetic appearance of women's legs, but also brings a lot of discomfort. That is why it is necessary to start treatment as early as possible in order to avoid various complications.
Varicose veins of the lower extremities
In most cases, this disease affects women. Despite this, medicine knows cases when varicose veins were found in men. The development of the disease is caused by several factors. This can be pregnancy, during which the female body does double work, and there is a strong load on the legs due to increased body weight. Varicose veins can also be hereditary. If your mother, grandmother or aunt suffers from this disease, then you need to carefully monitor the he alth of the veins, as there is a high probability of this pathology.
Treatment of varicose veins
It is worth noting that this disease affects onlylower limbs. Of course, on the area of \u200b\u200bthe hands, a person can also see some veins that bulge through the skin, but this has nothing to do with varicose veins.
If you have this disease, you need to start treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, the disease will affect new sections of the veins and eventually get a very advanced stage. Depending on how strongly the vessels and veins are involved in the process, an individual treatment method is chosen. Let's answer the main question: "How to treat varicose veins?"
Conservative ways
At the earliest stages of the disease, a conservative method is chosen. The patient is prescribed medication that thins the blood and strengthens the walls of blood vessels. Thanks to this, the woman stops complaining about pain and heaviness in the lower extremities.
Sclerotherapy method
Another method of correction is called vein sclerosis. The patient is injected into a vein with a special medicine that pushes blood out of the vessel and subsequently sticks together its walls. This method is effective only at the initial stages for small saphenous veins and vessels.
Surgical method
The phlebectomy method is quite outdated, but most government clinics use it. During the procedure, the patient makes several incisions on the leg, through which an enlarged vein is taken out. After such a manipulation, a woman has to recover for quite some time and wear compression underwear.
Treatment of varicose veins with laser
This methodcorrection is one of the newest. There is no need for hospitalization for the procedure. Treatment of varicose veins with a laser can be carried out in two ways:
- Treatment of the vessel through the skin.
- Subcutaneous treatment.
Depending on how severely the lower limbs are affected by varicose veins, one or another method is chosen.
Performing the procedure through the skin
Treatment of varicose veins with a laser in this case is carried out without any anesthetics. The procedure is painless and lasts no more than twenty minutes. The woman can then return to her normal activities.
Treatment of varicose veins with a laser in Minsk, Moscow, Kyiv and other capital cities is used much more often than in regional centers, where sometimes the old methods of dealing with this disease are still used. Laser treatment can be used for cosmetic purposes. In this case, spider veins on the face are treated in a similar way.
During the procedure, the patient is placed on a hard couch. The doctor marks the places that need to be processed, and proceeds to the manipulation. A special apparatus sends magnetic waves to the vessel. Under the influence of such rays, the contents of the vein are heated. Because of this, there is a displacement of blood cells from the dilated vessel, which subsequently sticks together.
Subcutaneous treatment of varicose veins
If a person has a more neglectedstage, then choose subcutaneous treatment of varicose veins with a laser. In this case, the procedure takes place under local anesthesia of the treated area. The manipulation lasts up to one hour.
Varicoses treated with laser disappear completely after about a few months. During the procedure, the doctor makes a small incision in the enlarged vein and inserts a special small chip into it. After that, the doctor gently guides the laser along the affected vessel. At the same time, a chip is moving behind the beam, which is located under the skin. Thanks to all this, the inner layer of the vein is “cleansed”, and blood flow improves in it. After such a manipulation, after a while you may notice that the vein began to disappear and varicose veins disappeared with it.
Laser treatment for this disease is fairly new and not widely used in public he alth facilities. Despite this, private clinics have been using this method for a long time. After carrying out such manipulation, it is necessary to be attentive to the he alth of your vessels and veins. It is recommended to take a regular course of prescribed drugs and visit a doctor.
Treatment of varicose veins with a laser: reviews
It is worth saying that if you want to achieve the most positive effect from the procedure, then after the manipulation, you must follow all the doctor's recommendations.
Treatment of varicose veins with a laser has only positive reviews. However, patients note that after the procedure they had to wear compression stockings for several months and takedrugs to strengthen the walls of blood vessels. The undoubted advantage is that after the manipulation there are no sutures and scars. If women needed to make a small incision to insert a chip, then, as the ladies say, it was done in an inconspicuous place. After healing, it completely disappeared. After the procedure, the patient notes lightness in the legs. Their evening cramps were reduced and the pain was gone. Itching and burning also disappeared.
One drawback that laser treatment for varicose veins has is the price. Since most clinics that offer this method of correction are not public, you will have to pay for such treatment. Depending on the region in which you live and at what stage of varicose veins, the cost of laser treatment will be different. The average price of such a correction is in the range of $1,000 to $5,000. I must say that laser treatment of individual small vessels and asterisks will cost you much less than correction of deep saphenous veins.
Preparing for the procedure and choosing a clinic
Before you undergo laser vein treatment, you need to consider all the pros and cons of this manipulation. First, compare the prices offered by different clinics. If you live in Belarus, then it makes sense to consider private medical institutions that are located in Minsk, for example, "Santa", "Confidence" and others.
After you have chosen a suitable place, talk to the doctor and ask him all the exciting questions. Before the procedure youneed to do some research. An ultrasound will also be done, which will help to identify not only varicose veins protruding through the skin, but also to assess the condition of deep subcutaneous vessels.
Some institutions guarantee you the effect within a certain period of time. That is, if varicose veins appear again, re-treatment will be carried out for you completely free of charge.
Conclusion
Everyone should know what varicose veins are. Laser treatment is ideal if you value your time and do not want to spend several days in a medical facility. In order to avoid surgical intervention, carry out treatment already in the early stages of the onset of the disease. Monitor the condition of your legs and blood vessels. Visit a phlebologist regularly. Stay he althy!
