Varicose vessels are called vascular diseases, characterized by a violation of the venous blood flow, thinning of the veins, an increase in their lumen and pathological enlargement.Foot vessels are most often affected.Mostly women get sick.The development of varicose veins complications of the lower extremities veins is due to premature or improper treatment.
Description of complications
With varicose veins, complications are local and common.The consequences of the disease can be:
- Pharyngeal syndrome.
- Phlebitis.
- Most often, hyperhidrosis of the affected limbs (increased sweating) is observed.
- Turning the veins into a thrombus.
- 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 under the skin germs and is characterized by inflammation of the surrounding tissue.The cause can be severe itching of the skin.Signs of eczema are skin rash, an increase in local temperature, burning, itching, peel, soft tissue swelling and the presence of a bubble rash.
- Bleeding.
- Formation of non -pigmented atrophic plaques.
- The occlusion of the ship.
- Erysipelas.
- Changing skin color.
- Tissue seal (subcutaneous fat).
- Pulmonary artery thromboembolism.
Swelling
Edema is the most common complication of the disease.They can occur between 1 and 2 stages.Edema have the following distinctive features:
- In the early stages, they occur with a long stay in the stable or sitting position.This is due to the fact that venous blood flow is difficult, which leads to an increase in vascular permeability.The plasma evokes the wall of the boat and goes to the surrounding fabrics, causing swelling.
- They are reduced to the position of the lying person.
- They arise mostly in the afternoon.
- The most pronounced in the leg area.The ankle office may occur.
- They are combined with importance in the legs, pain, itching, rapid fatigue and night convulsions.
- In the decompensation phase, they become constant and do not disappear in a liar position.
- Are white and blue.Most often, with this disease, milk edema is observed.Blue edema indicates thrombosis and tissue ischemia.Then, with varicose veins, patients' skin acquires a black color due to tissue necrosis.
pancake
The varicose vein complications of the lower extremities include phlebitis.This is acute or chronic inflammation of the vein wall.The outer shell of the ship is most often affected.Signs of phlebitis include skin pain at the site of localization of the vessel, limb tension, redness and compression of the skin, presence of red lines, general disease and an increase in body temperature.Chronic phlebitis persists with deleted 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 vessel.Most often, only 1 limbs are affected.Most often, this complication takes place in 40-50 years.The manifestations of thrombophlebitis behind the varicose veins are trembling, fever, eruption in the foot, swelling (after squeezing the tissues, deepening residues), skin cyanosis, palpation pain, local hyperthermia and swelling of the superficial veins.
Thrombosis
With varicose veins, thrombosis includes complications.With this pathology, a blood clot forms into the lumen of the vessel, which is attached to the venous wall.A blood clot can block the lumen of the vessel, making blood flow.The formation of a blood clot contributes to the slowdown of the blood flow, the lack of venous valves and the thickening of the blood.
Trophilic type ulcers
Against the backdrop of venous blood flow violations, tissue nutrition worsens.The skin becomes thinner and denser, which increases the risk of damage.In ischemia, even the slightest damage (scratches) can cause the formation of a trophic ulcer.These defects are also formed with tissue necrosis.Most often, ulcers appear with the expansion of veins complicated by chronic venous failure.
In most cases, the feet 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.Numerous defects can join, forming large focus.The ulcer can be complicated by purulent skin damage, inflammation of the periosteum, arthritis and osteomyelitis.
Artery thromboembolism
Pulmonary artery thromboembolism is the most dangerous complication for varicose veins of the lower extremities.Occurs as a result of the separation of a fragment of a thrombus and blocking of the main vessels.This condition is characterized by:
- shortness of breath;
- dimming of the skin;
- cough;
- curbing consciousness;
- sweating;
- increased body temperature;
- The decrease in blood pressure.
With pulmonary embolism, there is a high probability of death.
Venous bleeding
The cause of the bleeding is the thinning of the vessel wall.With damage to surface veins, it is most often short.Blood is dark red and flows slowly.Additional symptoms are skin pallor, a rapid heartbeat and adynamia.The most dangerous internal bleeding from deep veins.
How to avoid negative consequences
In order to avoid varicose veins complications of the lower extremities, it is necessary to start treatment in a timely manner and adhere to a doctor's recipe.Self -medication is unacceptable.Varicose veins therapy includes:
- Elimination of risk factors (rejection of smoking and alcohol, increasing engine activity, reducing static load, refusing to work, body weight correction, normalization of hormonal background, refusal to lift weights, wearing high lifting shoes and compressed linen).
- Physiotherapy Physical Education (Exercise Group).
- Normalization of food.In the diet of patients there should be products rich in vitamin C.
- Wearing compression linen.
- The use of folk remedies (compresses bitter wood, infusions and decoction based on herb).For varicose veins, calendula, chamomile, a series, lemonic, lemon balm and hawthorn.
