Varicose veins are a pathological process in which the veins are damaged by a further increase in lumen diameter and thinning of the venous wall. The process is accompanied by the formation of local aneurysm-like extensions, called "nodes". The most common variant of the disease is varicose veins of the lower extremities, which today affect every third woman and every tenth man. Veins with such varicose veins have two types - internal and reticular (venous mesh). The disease begins, as a rule, at working age - up to forty years. Moreover, the longer a person leads a sedentary lifestyle, the more likely there is a risk of developing varicose veins.
In addition to the pathology of the lower extremities, there is an enlargement of the veins of the esophagus and stomach, small pelvis, spermatic cord and testicles (varicocele). Sometimes varicose veins are found on the face, in the form of spider veins. Enlargement of the uterine veins is a rather rare phenomenon, but it does happen anyway. The disease is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of specific symptoms.
Treating the disease in any of its manifestations is not only important but also vital. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious complications, including thrombophlebitis. Formal medicine offers many methods of treating the problem: sclerotherapy, medication, special physical education, and wearing a medical jersey. In advanced cases, surgical intervention is possible. Proponents of unconventional medicine argue that treating varicose veins with folk remedies yields an equally successful result.
