Varicose veins – a serious chronic disease of the peripheral vessels. The appearance and development of many factors: permanent work, intense physical exercise, smoking, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, liver diseases, genetic predisposition. The pathology is the reduction of the tone of the walls of veins and capillaries, which leads to stagnation of venous blood flow, local swelling, inflammation, and trophic skin lesions of the skin, but, more importantly, to trombozam – formation of solid blood clots. The clots may cause blockage of blood vessels in the extremities, with a further necrosis of tissues, and may enter the general circulation and to penetrate everywhere – the pulmonary artery, the brain or the heart. In the latter cases, it appears a real threat to life.
Varicose disease in men and women
According to the statistics of varicose veins of the lower limbs slightly more common in ladies beautiful half of humanity. The cause of this eternal female destination – pregnancy and motherhood. During the reproductive age, the body is experiencing a serious effort, which also affects the situation of the organs of the circulatory. However, women are extremely sensitive to the condition of the feet and with the first appearance of veins, spider veins, and so most strongly expressed veins, they are trying to take action and run to the doctor-phlebologist. As a result, this disease can be treated in its initial stages.
Another thing men. In most cases varicose veins in the legs men to the point of contact with your doctor is in a very advanced stage. Yes, pregnancy men, while not threatening, but have a list of specific "male" factors can determine the appearance and development of this unpleasant disease:
- the stationary and sedentary work, especially when the slight mobility of the lower limbs;
- the service in the army and in the organs of internal affairs?
- intense physical exercise and fitness?
- hunting, fishing, tourism and other leisure time activities, accompanied by frequent hypothermia.
Clean men's risk factors – smoking, good tobacco, and the consumption of beverages with high ethanol content. The nicotine contributes to the violation of the functions of the peripheral vessels. Alcohol also affects the cells of the liver, which is responsible for the production of enzymes, which prevent the formation of clots, and broke up already formed clots. The stronger the man addicted to drink and smoke, the greater the risk of developing varicose veins, and the most dangerous complications.
But the main negative factor that complicates the treatment of varicose veins in the legs the men's persistent disregard of patients the need for treatment. Men firmly believe that varicose veins is one of the many female quirks that a real man can't ignore. It all ends only when your skin form scars, ulcers, and may help at least surgical excision of the affected of vienna. When this is absolutely clear, that the doctors will only open the tip of the iceberg and that the pathology was very most great phase. You will be amazed with the one degree or another, all the vessels of the foot and after the operation the man must be very hard to recover and be treated, in order not to leave new manifestations of the disease, often much more terrible and lead to amputation, disability, and death as a result of obstruction great check for blood clots in vital vessels.
The symptoms of varicose veins in the legs
