Medical treatment of varicose veins

Offered for sale can be found the mass of bioactive creams, which is attributed curative effect on varicose veins.

So, really affect the "problem feet":

The first medication for the treatment of venous thrombosis and primarily has been applied Heparin. This happened at the beginning of the XX century. Virtually 1928 g. It has been described in detail and chemical properties of the drug, without which it is now impossible all modern vascular surgery.

Recently, a great interest is the study of low molecular weight heparins, and, although the names of drugs vary, direct appointment of anticoagulants has been and remains the leading element in the treatment of venous diseases. This is, Heparin reduces the clotting blood and prevents thrombosis, so, reduces the risk of complications. They contain heparin such ointment, how geparoid and heparin ointment.

Just to conservative treatment may include drugs, affecting the outflow of fluid from the tissues, and preparations, directly affecting the vein wall. But, because we started with the most active funds, then say a few words about skleroziruyushtey therapies.

The method is based on the introduction of sclerosing agents into the lumen of the vein and is used in the treatment of varicose veins and minor telangiectasia. Initially introduced into the lumen of the vein, various chemical compounds: perchloride and metal chlorides, jodonat, carbolic acid, and even a 5% phenol solution. All researchers sought to introduce the substance, which is virtually "burn" the venous endothelium, that the simultaneous compression using bandaging resulted in "adhesion" varicose veins modified.

The latest achievements of chemistry can achieve a similar effect in 97% Patients are much less "barbaric" way. However, the risk of complications is, and they range in importance from pain at the injection of sclerosing agent to the development of ulcers. More serious complications are reactive deep vein thrombosis and allergic reactions up to anaphylactic shock. Therefore, some experts sclerotherapy uses virtually all forms of varicose veins, others reject the method. For Example, according to some researchers, young women with the initial stages of the disease should be applied injection treatment.

Among other methods can distinguish methods electrocautery and laser application. The possibility of disease recurrence when using techniques, forcing the affected vein to stick together, higher, than in step. To prevent complications must constantly for a long time (3-6 weeks) wear a compression bandage fixing, perhaps, sessions and require the introduction of sclerosing agents.
