Most often, the problems of the lower extremities are addressed to the doctor when the veins are clearly shining through and sticking out through the skin, and the legs are swollen or so worse.Such symptoms of varicose veins of the lower extremities clearly indicate the neglect of the disease when treatment is problematic.Many problems can be avoided if you know how various types of disease are manifested in the early stages that can be treated.
Almost everyone has heard about the terrible consequences of varicose veins.But when the legs are absolutely healthy, the disease does not seem so terrible.And many patients are simply sure that such a fate is their blowjob.Therefore, the initial symptoms of varicose veins are ignored.Time is missed, and pathology begins to progress.
The first organism signals about the development of varicose disease
Almost every person is prone to the development of varicose pathologies on the legs, which is, primarily with directness.A significant role in the mechanism of the occurrence of such problems is played by the length of the veins that feed the lower limbs.But no matter how much doctors say about the importance of the prevention of the disease, most people simply ignore it.
Elementary heels in women, designed to become a way of improving their image, cause severity and pain in the legs.But you can sacrifice such trifles, which in fact are already the first signs of varicose veins on the feet of women, if beauty is at stake.And few people think that these first weak calls promise large cosmetic and physical problems.
People who are constantly on their feet suffer no less.By evening, the legs just buzz, they want to put them higher or, in general, pour cold water, as the feet are itchy, the legs are swelling.But is it worth it to worry if all the problems after rest go by themselves.You can run around your business again and do not think that, perhaps, these are symptoms of varicose veins.
The excessive strength training, which men often resort to, are called to make the muscles embossed, and the skin is toned.But logically provoke pain in the lower extremities.Of course, amateur athletes write off such signs on muscle pain associated with load.Rarely, one of the men guesses that muscle pain and burning in the legs are symptoms for varicose veins in men.
What can we say about people overweight, which, according to statistics, are more than 60%.For them, fatigue of the legs, swelling became simply familiar, not causing special worries.Indeed, every extra 10 kg of weight give an additional 30-kilogram load on the lower limbs.
Pregnant women should include a special category that any changes in the body are written off to their position and hormonal restructuring.Since with primary varicose veins on the legs, symptoms are visually problematic, women are in no hurry to a phlebologist with questions about excessive fatigue, swelling of the legs.
If you bring together all the prerequisites for varicose veins, then with a competent attitude to your health, anxiety must be beaten in case of::
- swelling arising by the end of the day;
- quick overwork while walking, sports, and even just standing;
- severity against the background of wearing uncomfortable shoes;
- pain and burning in legs and sole in the evening;
- decreased performance, which is associated with fatigue.
These are the first symptoms of varicose veins on the legs, which are usually ignored by patients.
How to distinguish the primary signs of varicose veins from other diseases?
For many, it remains the question of how to distinguish varicose veins on the legs by symptoms from other diseases that give similar signs.
Without conducting a differentiated examination and specific functional tests, answer such a question cannot be possible even experienced doctors.The primary diagnosis and the possibility of conducting instrumental methods of examining the ultrasound, dopplerography and angiography are far facilitated by the primary diagnosis.
Therefore, the only right decision when any negative changes related to the lower limbs appear will be a visit to the doctor.
But knowing how various diseases appear, it is possible even at the initial stages of varicose veins on the legs to identify the symptoms that are characteristic of this pathology.
Pain in the legs
The causes of sparks of the legs can be a variety of diseases.As a rule, pain is evidence of joint diseases, problems with muscle or vascular systems, conditions after traumatic conditions and a sign of neurological deviations.
In case of violation of the work of the venous system, the pain decreases significantly if the limb is held in high condition.While, against the background of diseases of the arteries, the pain subsides with the legs lowered down, and in the presence of problems with the spine, numbness, tingling are joined by pain.
Swelling
The reasons for the appearance of swelling are even more, but most often such changes are associated with varicose veins.It should be borne in mind that the legs can also swell with heart problems, kidneys, bone-fast and lymphatic system, injuries, and local infectious diseases.
For varicose veins, one -sided swelling is considered characteristic.Even with edema of both legs, the defeat of one of them prevails.Swelling differs in density and resistance.In a vertical position, swelling increases sharply, especially with motionless standing in place.The severity of such symptoms is more observed in the area of the ankles.Edema becomes less when the legs are in a horizontal position.
With heart pathologies, swelling is of different density and prevalence.Almost completely disappears after a night's sleep.The renal swelling manifests itself to a greater extent of the sutra, and it can cover not only the legs, but also the face.Problems with the lymphatic system give chronic swelling, which does not depend on the time of day, rest.
Heaviness in the legs
The appearance of severity in the legs may indicate, in addition to natural fatigue, about the presence:
- lesions of arterial vessels;
- spine problems;
- lesions of the joints and bones;
- violations of the outflow of lymph;
- kidney and heart diseases.
Meanwhile, the most common cause of severity is the varicose disease.Moreover, other characteristic features may be absent.
Important!It is impossible to ignore the listed symptoms and treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities, since only timely measures will be able to prevent the further development of the disease.
Bright symptoms of damage to surface vessels
If the primary changes in the state of the legs can still be confused with the signs of other pathologies, then when identifying a characteristic symptoms of doubts in their origin, there is no doubt.
With damage to vessels located close to the surface of the skin, you can observe:
- The formation of vascular stars, which is associated with an increase in subcutaneous capillaries who have lost their tone, amid increased pressure in subcutaneous veins.
- Building veins through the skin.Expansion can have a cylindrical or mixed character.The veins are lengthening, they begin to wriggle.Such changes are found visually and on palpation of large vessels.Often in a patient with rough skin, veins can appear locally in a popliteal fossa or in the ankle joint.
- Problems with skin cover.The skin begins to dry out, possibly the appearance of age spots, causeless bruises.Related dermatitis, eczema indicates a significant oxygen hunger of tissues against the background of venous deviations.
In addition to such characteristic manifestations of varicose veins, the patient can be disturbed:
- burning and bursting pain along the affected vein;
- convulsions, especially at night and evening time;
- pulsating pain;
- Strengthening pain during motor activity.
But even with such vivid signs of the disease, patients are in no hurry to a doctor, but try to alleviate the condition with the help of folk treatment methods.Whereas the disease requires an integrated approach to treatment and a radical change in lifestyle.
How does the defeat of deep veins manifest?
The picture is much more complicated in the further progress of pathology, as well as with the defeat of deep veins.
If the disease has affected deeper veins, a person may not at all guess about the presence of pathology for a long time.This is due to the hidden current until the appearance of characteristic features.Therefore, in most cases, varicose veins on the legs, internal symptoms gives unexpectedly and rapidly.
With almost normal well -being, the patient begins to note the sharp changes that may appear:
- pain during any movement of the legs;
- pain of a shooting and burning nature directly at the place of defeat;
- general malaise;
- high body temperature;
- an increase in swelling of the local nature, and the edema will be large when the bloodboard is located closer to the groin;
- soreness when pressed on a vein;
- increased vessel density;
- local hyperemia, expressed redness, an increase in the temperature of the skin;
- Skin is possible.
With such symptoms of varicose veins, treatment must begin immediately, since pathology can quickly spread and significantly worsen the state of a person.In addition, there is always a risk that the thrombus will come off and along the vascular chant will move to the heart, which is fraught with death.
Violation of blood circulation in the presence of clots and blood clots in deep veins provokes tissue necrosis and the formation of trophic ulcers.
The most terrible are the “dumb” forms of deep varicose veins, which, until a certain point, do not give any signs at all.The deterioration of a person’s state begins to develop only in case of a full overlap of a vein with a thrombus.
Signs of other types of varicose veins
Problems with blood vessels can manifest itself not only on the legs, but also affect the internal organs.Definitely, such pathologies are much less common.In addition, they are much more difficult to recognize.
Varicosis can be diagnosed on the pelvic organs, in the groin, on the organs of the digestive system, on the rectum (hemorrhoids) and the genitals.
The initial manifestation of most of these forms, with the exception of hemorrhoids, is almost impossible to distinguish from signs of specific diseases of affected organs.A person can complain about abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, urination problems, intimate problems, swallow painkillers, which do not allow relief, try to be treated with folk methods, and the whole reason is the presence of veins pathology.
Such changes can only be detected by instrumental examination.Therefore, do not ignore any pain and incomprehensible symptoms.Perhaps these are signs of internal varicose veins.
