What Can I Do About Painful Varicose Veins?

Symptoms of varicose veins are the most common diseases of the venous system. The main reason for the formation of varicose veins is that the congenital vascular wall is relatively weak or the same posture has been changed for a long time. Too high is a symptom of blood vessels protruding from the skin surface. Varicose veins occur in the lower limbs.

Varicose veins symptoms

Varicose veins symptoms are

Varicose veins symptoms can be detected in the following ways:

1. The clinical manifestations of varicose veins of the lower extremities are progressively exacerbated by dilated, raised and tortuous superficial veins of the lower extremities, especially on the inner side of the lower leg. Small saphenous varicose lesions are mainly located on the outside of the calf. Early onset, patients often feel discomfort in the lower limbs. At the same time with limb weakness and mild edema. Feeling aggravated for a long period of time or in the afternoon, and obviously reduced after lying or limb treatment, sometimes accompanied by calf muscle spasm. Some patients had no significant discomfort. In the longer course, skin nutritional changes can occur in the calf, especially in Shao Shao, including skin atrophy, desquamation, pigmentation, induration of skin and subcutaneous tissue, eczema and refractory ulcers, sometimes with thrombophlebitis and acute Lymphangiitis.

2. The superficial venous valve function test was taken in the supine position, and the lower limbs were raised to empty the veins. A tourniquet is placed under the groin to compress the great saphenous vein. Patients were instructed to stand, and if there were top-to-bottom varicose veins within 10 seconds after releasing the tourniquet, the saphenous vein valve dysfunction was indicated. By the same principle, a tourniquet is attached to the pharyngeal fossa to detect the function of small intestinal valve.

3 The deep vein patency test takes a standing position, and a tourniquet is placed under the groin to compress the large saphenous vein. After the vein is filled, the patient kicks or kicks for more than 10 times. If the varicose veins are significantly reduced or disappeared, the deep vein Unobstructed; otherwise, there may be deep vein occlusion.

4 Patients with perforated valvular function test lie on their backs, pick up their lower limbs, and bind a tourniquet below the abdominal sulcus. First, wrap the first elastic bandage from the toe up to the cell socket, and then wrap the second elastic bandage from the tourniquet down. Ask the patient to stand and unwrap the first bandage while continuing to wrap the second bandage downward. If a varicose vein appears in the gap between the two bandages, it indicates that a perforating vein is inadequate.

5. Color Doppler ultrasound and venography can more accurately determine the nature, location, extent and extent of the lesion.

Clinically, varicocele can be divided into three degrees:

1 degree (mild): The varicose veins in the scrotum skin cannot be seen when standing, but the varicose veins in the scrotum can be felt. The varicose veins disappear quickly when lying down.

2 degrees (moderate): When standing, you can see the dilated veins protruding on the scrotum, you can feel the obvious varicose veins in the scrotum, and the mass gradually disappears when lying down.

3 degrees (severe): There are obvious large blood vessels on the surface of the scrotum, and there are obvious earthworm-like dilated veins in the scrotum. The vein wall becomes thick and hard; it disappears slowly when lying down.

Phase 1: Dilation of capillaries and reticular veins, affecting aesthetics.

Phase 2: In the standing position, the legs can be seen with thickened and superficial venous blood vessels, which are higher than the skin, and can disappear after the legs are elevated or lying flat. They often have discomfort such as calf swelling and fatigue, and this period is treatment Best time.

Stage 3: Varicose blood vessels increase, edema begins to appear in the calf, which is more obvious after standing for a long time or after exertion, and the edema can resolve in the morning. The affected limb is often thicker than the contralateral leg. Some patients also have itchy skin, and severe cases show skin lesions such as eczema and septic dermatitis.

Stage 4: Excessive blood stasis in the blood vessels and venous pressure significantly increase, causing some blood components to penetrate the skin and subcutaneous tissue outside the blood vessels, causing local skin to become red and purple until it becomes black (the iron in the blood is deposited) and lost Elastic and hard.

Stage 5: It is an acute ulcer stage. Blackened and hardened skin ruptures under the influence of external forces, which is difficult to heal, which seriously affects work and life.

Phase 6: Repeated episodes of venous ulcers without proper treatment, which are common near the ankle and lower leg, commonly known as "old rotten legs".

Edema: It is a specific manifestation of the hazards of varicose veins. Because the veins do not flow well, blood accumulates, which makes the surface of the skin edema.

Bleeding on the leg: It is a serious consequence of varicose veins. Due to the accumulation of blood in the veins, the veins cannot flow smoothly. Over time, the edema blood clots are clearly displayed. However, the venous valve is damaged and the venous blood pressure is too high. If the valve ruptures, it will bleed.

Varicose veins:

If you have an ulcer: This will obviously cause varicose veins for a long time. If you do not treat it, the skin surface will be dull, heavy, stiff, not paying attention to hygiene, and infectious diseases such as eczema will cause ulcers. The phenomenon should be treated in time.

Remedies for mild varicose veins:

1. Frequent leg massage, with both hands placed on both sides of the calf, from the ankle to the knee, rubbing the calf muscles to help venous blood return.

2. Simple squat exercise can not only exercise muscles, but also be good for joints. Not only can effectively prevent symptoms such as varicose veins and calf cramps, but also can promote blood circulation and enhance physical fitness. Do not look at the squat movement is very simple, but it has a certain degree of attention to do it, otherwise the object will be reversed.

3. When lying down and resting, raise your legs higher than the level of the heart, and keep your knees bent, and persist for about 15 minutes. To promote blood circulation in the legs and relieve symptoms of varicose veins in the lower limbs.

4. Before going to bed, you can do special venous exercises, lift your lower limbs, keep your feet parallel to your body, and then let your legs and feet shake gently. When sleeping, it is best to use the left side lying position, because lying on the left side can avoid pressing the abdominal inferior vena cava and reduce the pressure on the legs veins. It is recommended that you can use a pillow to lean and raise the varicose lower limbs by 30-40 degrees.

5. For workers who are weight-bearing or standing for a long time, they can use elastic bandages to leggings. When leggings, first raise the feet and feet, and use elastic bandages to tie the lower legs, which can prevent the venous congestion of the lower limbs. When tying up, lash up from the ankle, and try to make it as tight as possible. Conditional can wear varicose veins special health stretch socks.

6. Adhere to fast walking 4 times a day for 15 minutes each time, you can effectively relieve symptoms. Because during the fast walking, the gastrocnemius muscle increases and moves continuously, the venous blood vessels, like a pump, provide blood accumulated in the varicose veins to the heart. At the same time, due to the acceleration of local microcirculation, the metabolism of varicose veins is also accelerated, and the veins can return to normal quickly.

7. When standing for a long time, don't always use two legs to support the weight of the whole body. You can focus on it, let the two legs take turns to rest, often raise your feet, let the heels fall together, or do squats frequently. The above actions can cause strong contraction of the calf muscles and reduce venous blood accumulation.
