Varicose vessels are called vascular disease, characterized by a violation of venous blood flow, thinning of the veins, an increase in their light and pathological expansion.The legs of the legs are affected more frequently.Most women get sick.The development of complications of the varicose veins of the veins of the lower extremities is due to inappropriate or inappropriate treatment.
Description of complications
With varicose veins, complications are local and common.The consequences of the disease can be:
- Homework syndrome.
- Phlebitis.
- Most of the time, hyperhidrosis of the affected limb is observed (increase in sweating).
- Obstructing the veins in a thrombus.
- The formation of trophic ulcers.
- Chronic venous deficiency.It is characterized by a violation of the venous blood process.
- Varicose eczema.It develops as a result of microbes under the skin and is characterized by the inflammation of the surrounding tissues.The cause can be itching in severe skin.Eccema signs are skin redness, an increase in local temperature, burning, itching, peeling, soft tissue swelling and the presence of a bubble eruption.
- Bleeding.
- The formation of non -pigmented atophilical plaques.
- Container occlusion.
- Erysipelas.
- Change the skin color.
- Tissue seal (subcutaneous fat).
- Thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery.
Swelling
Edema is the most frequent complication of the disease.They can appear between 1 and 2 stages.Edema has the following distinctive characteristics:
- In the early stages, they occur with a long stay in standing or sitting position.This is due to the fact that the exit of venous blood is difficult, which leads to an increase in vascular permeability.The plasma permeates the wall of the container and enters the surrounding fabrics, causing swelling.
- They are reduced in the position of the person who is lying.
- They arise mainly in the afternoon.
- The most severely expressed in the leg area.The ankles office can occur.
- They are combined with heaviness on the legs, pain, itching, rapid fatigue and nocturnal seizures.
- In the decompensation stage, they become constant and do not disappear in a liar position.
- They are white and blue.Very often, with this disease, milk swelling is observed.Blue edema indicates thrombosis and tissue ischemia.Subsequently, with varicose veins, the skin of the patients acquires a black tone due to tissue necrosis.
Phlebitis
Complications of varicose veins of the lower extremities include phlebitis.This is acute or chronic inflammation of the vein wall.The outer cover of the container is affected more frequently.Flebitis signs include skin pain at the vessel location site, limb tension, redness and skin compaction, the presence of red stripes, general discomfort and an increase in body temperature.Chronic phlebitis proceeds with erased symptoms.
Thrombophlebitis
The terrible complication is thrombophlebitis.It is characterized by the presence of a thrombus (a blood clot) and the simultaneous inflammation of the glass.Most of the time, only 1 limb is affected.Most of the time, this complication develops at 40-50 years.The manifestations of thrombophlebitis after the varicose veins are chilling, fever, outbreak in the leg, swelling (after tightening the tissues, the remains of deepening), the skin cyanosis, the palpation pain, the local hyperthermia and swelling of the surface veins.
Thrombosis
With varicose veins, thrombosis includes complications.With this pathology, a blood clot in the vessel light is formed, which is attached to the venous wall.A blood clot can block the vessel light, making blood exit.The formation of a blood clot contributes to the slowdown in the blood flow, the deficiency of the venous valves and the thickening of the blood.
Trophilic ulcers
In the context of the violations of venous blood flow, tissue nutrition worsens.The skin becomes thinner and dense, which increases the risk of damage.Under ischemia conditions, even the slightest damage (scratches) can cause the formation of a trophic ulcer.These defects are also formed with tissue necrosis.Very often, ulcers appear with the expansion of the veins complicated by the chronic venous failure.
In most cases, the legs are affected.The appearance of an ulcer is preceded by tissue atrophy, against which a deep defect is formed.At first it is superficial, but then spreads to the subcutaneous tissue.Multiple defects can fuse, forming large spotlights.Ulcers can be complicated by purulent damage of the skin, the inflammation of the periosteum, arthritis and osteomyelitis.
Thromboembolism of the artery
Thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery is the most dangerous complication for the varicose veins of the lower extremities.It occurs as a result of the separation of a fragment of a thrombus and blocking of the main vessels.This condition is characterized by:
- Difficulty breathing;
- skin paleness;
- cough;
- inhibition of consciousness;
- perspiration;
- increase body temperature;
- falling blood pressure.
With pulmonary embolism, there is a high probability of death.
Venous bleeding
The cause of bleeding is the thinning of the vessel wall.With damage to the surface veins, it is often short.The blood is dark red and flows slowly.Additional symptoms are the paleness of the skin, a rapid heartbeat and adjnamia.The most dangerous internal bleeding of deep veins.
How to avoid negative consequences
To avoid complications of the varicose veins of the lower extremities, it is necessary to start treatment in a timely manner and meet the recipe of a doctor.The car -medical is unacceptable.Varicose veins therapy includes:
- Elimination of risk factors (rejection of smoking and alcohol, the increase in motor activity, the reduction of static load, the rejection of sedentary work, the correction of body weight, the normalization of the hormonal background, the refusal to the elevation of the weights, the use of high height shoes and the narrow linen, the normalization of blood clotting).
- Physiotherapy Physical Education (set of exercises).
- Normalization of food.In patient diet, there should be rich products in vitamin C.
- Using compression linen.
- The use of popular remedies (compressed with bitter worm, infusions and decoctions based on herbs).For varicose veins, the calendula, the chamomile, the series, the lemon, the lemon balm and the thorn are used.
