Varicose veins are most often transmitted by inheritance, and can also occur as a result of herbs and diseases of veins and arteries.
If you have the following symptoms, like muscle fatigue, heaviness in the legs, cramps and burning feet, then you urgently need to consult a doctor. Varicose veins can not be ignored. If you do not start treatment, then varicose disease will develop into eczema, and the consequences of eczema are very, very unpleasant and even lamentable.
Today there are quite a few methods of treating varicose veins. That method, which is right for you, will be picked up by your attending physician. In doing so, he will be guided by the state of your veins and your overall health. Varicose veins are treated by phlebology doctors or vascular surgeons.
If the disease is in its initial stage, then special compression stockings can handle it perfectly. If the disease is started, then other methods of fighting it are used: the sclerosants, laser therapy, and laser lesions are applied to the affected areas of the veins with the help of radio frequencies (this procedure does not leave ugly scars on the skin). Only in particularly difficult cases is an operation necessary. But if several years ago such operations on veins were considered extremely complex and dangerous, now one can not worry about one's health, since with the use of the latest equipment the patient can get up on his feet within a few hours after the operation.
People say that varicosity is very effectively treated with leeches. This is not a true statement. Yes, undoubtedly, leeches can help a person with a diagnosis of thrombophlebitis, but they are powerless before varicose veins. The action of the leech is reduced only to the fact that it introduces into the blood a special substance - hirudin, which dilutes the blood, but this substance can not cure the vein itself. The minus of treatment with leeches is that on the site of the bite of a leech there is a long healing scar.
The best way to avoid illness is prevention. The main ways to prevent varicose veins: a uniform load on the legs throughout the year. If you have a sedentary job, in your spare time, run, do dances, walk, swim. If you stand most of the working day, then every half hour, do exercises for the legs - sit down, stand on your toes, shake your legs, sit for a while. To ensure that your veins are always healthy, take a contrast shower or just do a contrasting douche, ending this procedure with cold douche.
