It is possible to resist the varicose veins and what to do if they start to appear, the Sputnik learned of a specialist.
The venous pattern on the legs many of us perceive as a norm.
Varicose veins is a disease or a consequence of the charges? How dangerous is it? We consider that from the point of view of the physiology of the body.
More common in Europeans
Varicose veins or disease known since the time of Egypt. She was trying to treat Hippocrates and Avicenna.
However, this disease affects both the active population. And often are not physiological conditions.
The exit of the blood from the lower extremities occurs in the veins: deep, located deep in the muscles, subcutaneous and extending in the subcutaneous fat. Deep and superficial venous system of the legs are connected to the connection of the veins. A fundamental characteristic of the structure of the lower limb veins are valves that direct the flow of blood is severely heart, let the blood flow down. Valves in the connecting veins to allow the blood flow of the saphenous veins in the deep and prevent its return. Venous valves in the legs are unequally distributed. The majority of them in the leg, the less in the femur.
Interestingly, the varicose veins often affects people with white skin color. The reason lies in the number of valves. The representatives of the Negroid and Mongoloid races, number of valves several times more than caucasians.
If the dam spills
What makes the blood flow through the veins to the heart? First of all, the active participation of the contraction of the muscles of the foot, shank and thigh, as well as the contraction of the diaphragm and, in part, the heartbeat of the heart. In any movement-contraction of muscles squeeze the blood from the veins and push it toward the heart. It is believed that the calf muscles are the second heart of the body, because when you walk they play an important role.
The laws of the movement of fluids in the body do not differ from the laws of fluid movement in nature.
If the path of the river appears the obstacle (dam), the less obstacles, the river begins to widen (spread). The same happens in the body. If the veins towards the centre where it is compressed, it is not pumped to the excess volume of blood distending the lower parts of the veins, thus disturbing the operation of the valves (are not closed) and only the blood flow in General. The veins start to expand.
Varicose veins (varicose veins) is considered as an extension of the saphenous veins. If we talk about the legs when a person lies, the veins do not protrude above the skin level.
There are two ways to solve the problem:
- to treat the failure of the venous valves, weld or remove the superficial veins;
- remove the cause of the constriction or clamping of the line towards the inside.
The blood from the lower extremities up to the vein femoral, which is collected in the Vena cava inferior, which then enters into the right atrium.
This long journey there are a series of obstacles, where is Vienna (venous pole) can be limited, due to the increase of the pressure in the lower parts.
If problems arise in the colon (section of the cecum), by virtue of the anatomy of the veins begin to swell on the left leg (the bell), so you need to carefully monitor bowel movements and avoid constipation.
Normal stool a person should be daily, in the morning. It is important to adhere to correct eating behavior.
What you should know about varicose veins in women
The birth rate in women weakened pelvic floor muscles, which in turn can put pressure on the vein femoral.
The first bell of the weakness of the pelvic floor is the appearance of spider veins in the ankle bone area. Very effective any exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, for example, Kegel exercises.
Inflammation of the ovaries or adhesive disease are both cause and consequence of the appearance of varicose veins. Venous blood is saturated with toxins and carbon dioxide, and the stagnation is always an increase in the concentration of the toxins that cause inflammation and tissue change, therefore, all the organs located in the pelvis, are at risk. The stagnation of the venous blood in the pelvis including a cause of infertility, impotence and hemorrhoids.
Cause of blood stasis in the pelvis may be a sedentary lifestyle and sedentary work. Therefore, the motion during the day or banal load during operation is a vital necessity.
Hormonal women acceptance of contraceptives leads to chronic venous insufficiency.
As that won't be damaged?
State and position of anatomical liver plays a large role in the prevention (if healthy), or in the case of (if there are deviations) of the varicose veins.
As a vein that goes from the lower extremities to the right atrium, passes to and under the liver, any liver enlargement or pivot about its own axis, can cause compression of the veins and increase the venous pressure in the lower divisions, thereby causing the appearance of varicose veins.
Grado-abdominal diaphragm sensitive to the psycho-emotional state of man. Any negative emotion (fear, anger, irritation) causes the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which cause, in turn, muscle spasm, clamp the lumen of the venous pole.
Given that we are irritated during the day, not just once or twice, the health of the nervous system is of great importance in the treatment and prevention of varicose veins.
Injuries to the lumbar spine, the weakness of the square lumbar muscles form the incorrect function of the venous pump (pumping blood through the inhalation and exhalation). This will generate a certain increase of the pressure of the veins and as a consequence the expansion of the veins.
Wear tight clothing and footwear also promotes the compression of the veins, superficial and obstruction of the circulation of the blood flow.
Very dangerous sitting posture with upturned foot to foot. If this position is not only fixed the vein in the knee hole, but it alters the position of the pelvic organs.
Keep the process under control
Define and solve a problem will help tests – ultrasound, x-ray contrast agent, and others.
The condition of the blood directly affects the varicose veins. Thick and sticky blood is always very difficult to push upwards, overcoming the gravitational force of the Earth. This leads to a deterioration of the venous vessels, valves and the formation of blood clots. This is a very dangerous condition because the clot break, hitting a lung or the heart, can lead to quick death, and sometimes the doctors just don't have time to provide emergency assistance.
Uncontrolled long-varicose veins can lead to thrombophlebitis, because of the stagnant venous blood is rich in toxins and can cause inflammation of the inner surface (epithelial lining) of the vein.
It is important to keep varicose veins under control – once a line is of maximum length, and to return it to its former condition would be impossible. Except that you want to remove. But you need to understand that the body is nothing extra volume of blood is removed, the vein is redistributed to close, the increase of the load on them.
If any symptoms consult the doctor?
The first signs of problems become the swelling of the legs and feet, feeling of heaviness in the legs that appear to the long stay in a sitting position or standing. These symptoms disappear or are reduced significantly when walking and after a night of rest.
If you ignore these symptoms, then, finally, there will be excruciating pain in calves, burning sensation in the legs and night cramps in the calf muscles. Occur and external changes. In the thighs and legs appear small blue-red vascular "stars", through the skin begins to show through the veins with a diameter of 2 mm, and finally, the most characteristic manifestation of the disease – varicose veins.
Today, there are two methods of treatment of varicose veins: surgical and conservative.
In the conservative treatment of maximally eliminate the factors that led to the appearance of varicose veins. However, the situation is strongly influenced by genetic predisposition – and then, as they say, only you can deal with the consequences.
How to keep the body?
You must comply with the drinking water control. The water is taken at meals: often and in small portions. Excluding food, which can cause thirst, constipation and atherosclerosis. Completely eliminated sweets because the sugar leads to glycation of red blood cells and thrombosis, flour of flour as it leads to flatulence.
Must be a physical activity (swimming, Nordic walking) and a special daily exercises for the legs. But the asset of the sport with lifting weights is not suitable.
The manifestation of varicose veins should wear compression underwear or impose bandage elastic. It is very important that the bandage when the stretching does not change its form, and the imposition of bandages, begins always with the foot, taking the heel.
The doctor has to take drugs venotonic.
Today also very popular sclerotherapy and laser correction. Highly effective pneumatic massage, in case carried out on the subjects.
Dedicated to the prevention or treatment of varicose veins, pay attention to yourself and symptoms that can bother you for the first time. Remember that the line is part of the body, which are the vessels of life in our amazing body. Be healthy!
