Genital varicose veins are a common problem for women of any age and social function. She is hidden from other people's attention, so she rarely receives timely treatment. Some patients endure discomfort and pain until the end, ashamed to see a doctor with this disease.
The disease does not have a clear gender division. And in men it occurs, but very rarely. For his appearance as a representative of a strong half of humanity, really important reasons are needed. But in women, varicose veins in the genitals are almost as common as varicose veins in the lower extremities or hemorrhoids.
Types of varicose veins during pregnancy
It is possible to classify the varicose veins of the npo (lower genitals) by their location.
Vaginal varices
The location of the disease occurs on a hidden surface within the genitals. This makes you invisible in everyday life. Recognizing the presence of varicose veins in such cases is extremely difficult until
until it develops enough to "go out" to more visible parts of the body.
Varicose veins on the lips
Edema of the veins in the small and large lips. The appearance of nodules and constant pain prevent a normal sex life. Sitting with this disorder is very painful, accompanied by numbness and itching.
Perineal varices
Most common. The defeat extends not only to the area of the uterus and lips, but also to organs and tissues adjacent to the genitals. This disfigures the appearance, brings a lot of suffering to the woman and can lead to serious problems in the future.
Symptoms of genital varicose veins
The disease begins imperceptibly. Gradually, it gains strength and causes the appearance of serious circulatory disorders in Organs genitals. The symptoms of varicose veins in Organs genitals are very specific and recognizable. If you don't get treatment in time, initial health can be very difficult to restore, even impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of the appearance of the first signs.
Numbness in the groin
Numbness occurs almost constantly. They are especially strong when sitting.
Decreased libido
The affected vessels are unable to perform their function of supplying blood to Organs genitals. The varicose veins of Organs genitals lead to tissue atrophy, reducing their sensitivity.
Itching, pain and discomfort
Inflammation affects nearby nerve endings.
This causes sudden pain in the lower abdomen, in the perineum.
Swelling and swelling
The inner surface of the vagina, the lips, increases in size. This makes sex life difficult, painful and unpleasant.
The appearance of spider veins on the external genitals
External signs of incipient disease of the varicose veins are manifested precisely by microlesions of the skin. These signs are clearly visible on examination by a gynecologist.
Swollen veins, lumps and nodes appear
Varicose veins of female genital organs in an advanced stage disfigure the appearance of the entire groin area. The sensations with this disease during the appearance and development of the cones are very unpleasant, painful. The dilated veins are not limited to the intimate area. They spread to nearby areas - the inner thighs, lower abdomen.
Causes of the disease
Pregnancy is the most common cause of the disease. The fetus compresses all internal organs and blood vessels. Can it cause varicose veins of Organs genitals? This is impossible to predict. Resistance to constant negative physical influences is different for each woman. While waiting for a child, some women are given rest, which does not mean a complete lack of movement. Due to the constant compression of blood vessels, this dangerous condition develops at high speed. By the time of delivery, varicose veins can already become a threat to a woman's health and life.
Women without children also have varicose veins on Organs genitals. The following reasons can be distinguished:
- Being overweight.
- The use of excessive physical effort in labor.
- Sedentary and sedentary lifestyle.
- Digestive problems, of which there is frequent pressure in the perineum (constipation and frequent diarrhea).
- Stay in warm rooms, sit on warm surfaces.
- Hereditary predisposition to varicose blood vessels.
- Inflammatory diseases of Organs pelvic organs.
- Weak work on the valve system of veins throughout the body.
- Hormone therapy, carried out for a long time, can cause varicose veins and other disorders of the circulatory system.
Diagnosis
Self-diagnosis can only be done with a sufficiently developed course of the disease. So, when your signals are already so neglected that they are visible and strongly felt.
The diagnosis of the disease is made through special studies.
- Visual observation during the examination by a gynecologist provides the initial results. An experienced doctor can immediately recognize a suspected genital varicose vein. The doctor, if there is any doubt about the health of the woman's veins, gives a referral for the passage of narrow specialists in this area.
- Ultrasound of the genital area using sensors for external and internal examination (inside the vagina).
- Phlebography is performed to study the state of blood vessels, to verify their functionality.
- Doppler ultrasonography effectively shows the functioning condition of the veins in Organs genitals and adjacent tissues.
Classic treatment of varicose veins
Medicines
Complex drug therapy is used to treat female genital varices.
Pain symptoms are relieved with pain relievers, inflammation is relieved with anti-inflammatories (including ointments and gels). And to prevent blood clots and improve the functioning of blood vessels, phlebologists prescribe special antiplatelet agents.
Surgery
The most common treatments for venous diseases are laser and radio frequency coagulation. It is with their help that it is possible to achieve a significant improvement in the conditions of the veins in the affected area.
In addition, phlebectomy - an operation to form the normal lumen of the veins and their location - must be mentioned.
Folk remedies
Traditional medicine has a good additional and preventive effect. In conditions where the intervention of official medicine is impossible, alternative methods of treating varicose veins show good results.
Badan
A rare wild plant obtained by herbalists in the forests. Its extract has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. An infusion of badan water is used for a medical shower and tampon (insert a cotton swab moistened with a solution into the vagina at night).
Milk and honey
The hygienic shower method with milk and honey is good for relieving inflammation, but it can cause a violation of the microflora. 0. 5 liter of milk is boiled with 1 tablespoon of honey. After cooling to body temperature, the solution is poured into the vagina using a syringe.
Sea buckthorn oil
Sea buckthorn oil is a well-known topical anti-inflammatory agent. Tampons with this oil can be placed in the vagina and applied to the affected area for a long time.
Marigold infusions, oak bark, shepherd's bag
Used to gently eliminate inflammation, relieve swelling.
Self-medication with traditional medicine should not be a substitute for a complete medical intervention. In the modern world, there are many tools to eliminate diseases in advanced stages. Amateur remedies are effective only in the early stages of the disease and do not guarantee the cessation of their development.
Dangers and complications
The varicose veins of neglected female genitals can cause many dire consequences.
Infertility
The violation of blood circulation in the genital area causes interruption of work. Swollen tissues prevent the passage of germ cells, rendering the developing pelvic organs, uterus and fetus unsuitable. Due to varicose veins, pregnancy can end spontaneously.
Vascular rupture during childbirth
Vases with damaged walls break easily. It is very dangerous during childbirth. The internal bleeding that occurs is not always noticeable. In ancient times, this was the most common cause of high mortality in women after childbirth. To prevent vein rupture, doctors decide how to give birth with varicose veins. Most likely, a cesarean section will be performed to prevent injury to the sore spot.
Reduced sexuality
The physiological reason for the increased attraction and pleasure of sex is the ability of Organs pelvic organs to fill with blood. With vein injuries, this is simply impossible to achieve. You can remain cold due to the lack of attention to the condition of the veins.
Modern medicine has learned to prevent these consequences, but they are too serious to be ignored. It is necessary, even before the serious development of the disease, to apply prevention methods that will save you from problems in the future.
Preventive measures
Preventing disease in the case of varicose veins is the best choice. Having appeared once, this disease will begin to haunt the person for the rest of his life. Preventing the appearance of varicose veins of Organs genitals implies, first of all, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and adequate nutrition, which does not allow the development of varicose veins.
Sport helps to "disperse" the blood, to increase the overall tone of the muscles and blood vessels. People who lead an active life are always healthier and fit. But you don't have to torture yourself with unnecessary stress. Everything should be in moderation.
And, of course, we cannot forget the doctor's observation. The periodic medical examination by restricted specialists around the world is considered a good form.
A person who is concerned about health, treats with attention, receives the best prize in the world. This award is excellent health and a full life!
