Reticular varicose veins

Varica Reticular Veins - A plexus of small vessels of red, blue, purple, translucent through the skin. They can occur on the face, stomach, chest, but the most common location - the lower limbs.

What are vein varicose veins

In the human body, blood circulates according to arteries, veins, capillaries, veins. The arteries are the largest ships of the circulatory system. They are connected to the veins. The smallest ships are veins. At the lower ends under the skin, the surface intermediate venous vessels are visible. Its diameter is larger than the diameter of the capillaries, but less the diameter of the veins of the trunk. This venous mesh is called reticular. In other words, reticular veins are small millimeter vessels that are visible under the skin on the legs.

There are valves in each vein. They filter the direction of blood movement and its volume. There is only one valve in the reticular vein. If deformed, the vein will be expanded, twisted and conducts a larger volume of blood. The venous pressure on the skin knit layer increases due to blood accumulation in a given area. Cream deficiency develops and reticular varicose veins form - a plexus of small vessels of red, blue, purple, translucent through the skin.  

Where the reticular places are usually appear

The vascular plexus of small vessels can occur on the face, abdomen, chest, but the most common location - the lower limbs.

Reticular in the legs are found:  

  • On the rear surface of the knee joints. Spider webs are observed in young women;
  • at the top of the legs;
  • on the inner surface of the hips;
  • Above the ankles.

Causes and risk factors for the development of reticular varicose veins

Most of the time, the disease is observed in women. The trigger is a violation of hemodynamics. Due to the fact that the valve is deformed, the blood begins to circulate in the opposite direction. The plexus of blood vessels is overloaded and the stagnant blood. For this reason, the vessel walls expand, become brighter and more visible through the skin.  

It can be preceded by this state:

  • Hormonal heel. An estrogens and progesterone growth leads to a loss of vein and expanding the lumen of blood vessels, rapid blood coagulation and a decrease in plasma antitrombin. Flobopathy is developing. This process is often observed in pregnant women, as well as women who take oral contraceptives.
  • Heredity. The change in connective tissue is transmitted along the female line, so with varicose veins in a mother or grandmother, the risk of expanding reticular vessels is already at an early age.
  • Load load. In people who work sitting or standing, the diagnosis is made more often. Reticular varicose veins of both members are observed among office workers, accountants, engines, hairdressers, teachers.
  • Frequent flights on the plane. With air trips due to jumps in atmospheric pressure, the tone of the blood vessels and the blood flow in the changes.

The development of the disease is aggravated by smoking, obesity, hypertension, second and subsequent pregnancy, corticosteroid intake, liver cirrhosis, systemic scleroderma.

Signs

The early stage disease continues latent. You can suspect the reticular form of the varicious disease of the lower ends in cyanotic skin color. Thin veins in the form appear on the legs:

  • a tree similar to a tree (of a base, many vessels branches left and right);
  • web or stars (vessels depart from the center in different directions);
  • Lines (even strips of blood vessels).

The Branian veins are especially noticeable at the end of the day after playing sports, lifting weights, a long static position, running or long distance. In the morning, the leg defect is invisible.  

As blood flow gets worse, concomitant symptoms are aggravated:

  • discomfort in the calf muscles. Involuntary cramps suddenly occurs and pass after the massage of the limbs;
  • gravity and fatigue in the legs;
  • Burning and itching on the legs and feet.

The clinic manifests itself stronger during menstruation due to an increase in blood flow.

Symptoms are missing after resting with raised legs. Unlike varicose veins, pain, edema and trophic disorders.

Signs of reticular varicose veins

The danger of reticular varicose veins

In many cases, patients do not pay attention to vascular stars and are in no hurry for the doctor. There are virtually no symptoms, so women write down the visibility of the veins in a cosmetic defect.

If you do not start treatment at the early stage, the deep vein valve deficiency of the trunk will develop. Reticular varicose veins of BPV tributaries are especially dangerous. A large subcutaneous vein runs along the medial side of the legs and connects to the femoral vein. As BPV valves deform, the varicose disease develops.

With the extended ignoring of the problem, the vascular mesh deepens and the risk of trophic ulcers intensifies.

Disease diagnosis methods

The diagnosis is established by a phlebologist. He examines the patient lying down and standing. The doctor needs to distinguish reticular varicose veins from tenngiectasia, the early stage of lvedo mesh syndrome, clippel-teenone, Maffuchchi syndrome, bloom syndrome, doors.

An ultrasound in duplex mode is prescribed. With the help of ultrasound, the condition of the vein valves is evaluated. The diagnosis is established if a violation of reticular blood flow is confirmed, ie there is obstruction and reflux of the surface vessels.

Conducted UZDG. Dopplerography shows the direction of blood movement. During digitization, the doctor asks to arrest the strange breathing, simulate the walk lying down. On the screen, the image of the green and red vessels is displayed. The red color shows the length of the pathological area and green - the functionality of the venous valve. The direction and speed of blood movement are indicated.

Treatment of reticular varicose veins

In the treatment of a reticular form of varicose veins at an early stage, the result is favorable.

First, a phlebologist prescribes drug therapy to improve blood flow along with compression therapy.

Drug therapyIncludes the intake of venotonia based on Rutoside, Heparin, Troxerutin, Diosmin. They adjust the output of the lymph, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, normalize vascular permeability, increase the tone of the vein, avoid seizures and development of trophic disorders.

Depending on the number of lattice, the doctor selectsCompression socks. With subcutaneous veins in the legs, midfields of therapeutic action is recommended. If the cobwebs on the back of the knees appeared, bandining with an elastic bandage or using fair class A compression pants.

If the number of reticular increases and the vascular mesh is noticeable even after rest, they begin to treat the lower ends with the hardware method.

Laser therapyIt consists of the influence of a beam of light on a vascular plexus. The laser warms the vein, because the inner surface of the vase is destroyed. The blood ceases to flow through this vein. To achieve the result, you need to pass 2-3 procedures with a 2-3 week interval. After processing 12 hours, you cannot carry the member, sunbathe, take a shower and go to the bathroom. Laser coagulation has a disadvantage. If the doctor affects the same place for a long time, you can burn. The method is effective for blood vessels less than 1 mm.

With the expansion of the veins by more than 3 mm, it is prescribedsclerotherapy. It consists of introducing a special sclerosis in the vein lumen under the control of ultrasound. The substance glues the walls, due to which the blood supply to the pathological area ceases. For the treatment of intradermal varicose veins, a foam -shaped substance is used. The procedure is painless because the injections are made by the best needles. Maybe burning at the time of drug administration. After injection, a tight bandage is pulled. Taking a fresh shower and removing the compression linen is allowed on the same day.  

Microflebectomy is not performed with a reticular type of disease.

Treatment will not be effective if you do not eliminate the root cause. Oboor people need to adjust the weight to reduce the load in the legs. Office workers need to take a break, get up and take a walk every hour. High shoe fans should wear comfortable shoes with a wide and heel height of no more than 5 cm.

Treatment of reticular varicose veins at the doctor's clinic:

ENDOVASAL LASER COAGULATION (EVVK)

If you have varying veins, it does not mean that you will have to do the operation! New medical technologies allow you to get rid of this disease without surgical intervention.

Sclerotherapy

Sclerotherapy is a methodology for the treatment of varicose veins, introducing scleroster (special medicine) into the affected veins.

Eco-Eschlerotherapy

The technique is used in cases where it is necessary to "stock up" large veins.

Foam sclerotherapy

Foam -shaped technology (foam sclerotherapy) is used for "bonds" varicose veins with a diameter of up to 6 mm.

Movie sclerotherapy

The most recent and exclusive method for combating varicose vessels of any size.

Venoseal adhesive prison

Non -surgical treatment of chronic venous insufficiency and varicose veins using biocles venaaseal.

Prevention

If there is a hereditary predisposition to the development of the disease, it is recommended to do simple exercises daily to maintain peripheral blood circulation:

  • in a position lying on the legs on the wall and hold vertically for 5 to 10 minutes;
  • In the morning after waking up, "roll the bicycle" and do the right and right oscillations on each other;  
  • Walk yet, while you cannot tear the heels from the floor;
  • In the lying position, lift the legs and rotate with your feet;
  • After leaving the bed, make ten loopholes from the foot to the heel and heel to the foot.

Each exercise should be done 10 to 15 times a day.

To maintain a normal blood flow, do not stay in the leg. If the work is sedentary, you should put a roll under your feet and keep them over.

A contrast shower tones ships in the morning, but you need to start gradually. Every day you need to adjust the temperature by 1-2 degrees.  

If there are unique extensions, to avoid the massive appearance of varicose veins will help reject salty products. It is worth limiting the consumption of smoked meat, marinades, pickles.
