Varicose veins are a term commonly used to describe visible feet veins. But the true veins of varicose veins are dilated and very protruding. Small veins of varicose veins may not be a problem, but as veins of the veins worsen, they become dimensional and distorted (full of spins and turns) and can cause the legs to feel heavy and pain.
Swelling of legs and ankles is a early sign of reduced operation of the valves in our veins that hold the blood flows and severe varicose veins can be very painful.
There is good evidence that the veins that veins have genetic link and are also associated with a history of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots that prevent veins).

The purpose of compression socks is to prevent blood from concentrating on the veins and reduce swelling on ankles and legs. Graduated of compression socks Place more pressure around the ankle than high to the leg, which helps the blood flow up to the heart.
Synthesis alumni are rated with force and vary in the amount of pressure applicable to the legs. Proper evaluation by a health professional and proper socks will reduce the risk of complications such as skin irritation and reduced blood flow to the legs.

Surgery
Surgery is only necessary for a small percentage of people with varicose veins. The choice of surgery depends on the symptoms, age and general health of the individual. Treatments The offer can also vary between locations, depending on the know -how of doctors in the area.
Intradine therapy (in the vein) includes a series of treatments that damage the wall of the vein, close by the boat and prevent blood flow through the vein so that it does not concentrate there. Laser or radio frequency techniques use heat to achieve this effect.
Alternatively, injection of medical foam into a vein is used to collapse the blood vessel (injection sclerotherapy) and prevents blood from concentrating on the vein.

While there is no significant difference in the short -term effects between the various treatments, laser surgery is associated with more post -operative pain and slower recovery and the use of medical foam is likely to cause more inflammation.
Endymic treatments are highly specialized surgical techniques that may cause complications If not performed correctly. And if the problems in the deep veins are not identical before treatment, the varicose veins will reappear very soon after treatment.

International Guidelines For the management of vein varicose veins it recommends a gradual approach: radio frequency and endogenous laser treatment is the preferred option. Foam sclerotherapy with ultrasound is a subsequent choice. And open surgery is examined when endogenous treatments are not appropriate.
Conventional surgery, which involves removing (stripping) of large surface veins (clear veins), is associated with a 25-50% relapse within five years. Current surgical practice is much more sophisticated than stripping an entire vein.
A process called ”walking venous“It can be performed under local anesthetic. A small skin incision is done just above the protruding vein and a crochet surgical hook is used to extract the vein portion through the incision.
Which one should i choose?
The decision on which treatment option for varicose veins is preferable depends on various factors. These include the age, symptoms and general health of the individual.
THE repetition of Chinese veins Is not different after endogenous treatment or surgery. However, lasers and radio frequency techniques have been reported to have a lower risk of post -operative complications than open surgery, including less pain and faster return to normal activities.
Venous vein surgery is no longer the choice of first -line therapy and early intervention with endogenous treatments can help prevent serious vein complications, such as feet ulcers, thrombosis and extensive damage to the veins. An initial consultation with a GP is important for discussing treatment options and appropriate reference to a specialist.
