Varicose veins of the small pelvis in men

Against the background of various factors, venous vessels in the pelvic region can be deformed, which leads to disruption of blood flow with appropriate consequences. With age, the risk of developing pathological changes increases. Varicose veins of the small pelvis in men can be hidden under the name of some diseases, such as varicocele or hemorrhoids. Conservative treatment is possible with minimal symptoms; In advanced cases, surgery is required.

Features of the disease

In the case of varicose veins of the small pelvis (VVVMT), changes in the architectural part of the vessels and the presence of venous occlusion are considered. In medicine, the pathology is also called chronic pelvic pain syndrome, venous obstruction syndrome.

The peculiarity of BPHMT is that it is very difficult to diagnose in the early stages. Varicose veins occur due to the development of venous valve insufficiency and occlusion (partial or complete) of the venous bed, resulting in constriction of the veins and disruption of their tone.

According to statistics, deformities in the veins of the male genitals are slightly less common in women than small pelvic varicose veins.

The

violation can manifest itself as follows:

• chronic prostatitis;
• varicocele (recurrent, bilateral);
• veno-occlusive erectile dysfunction;
• hemorrhoids (internal / external);
• varicose veins of the lower extremities;
• combinations of listed pathologies.

An inaccurate diagnosis of a patient's condition can lead to treatment difficulties, while the risk of relapse is significantly increased.

Factors causing the disease

Many patients have inherited vascular problems. Weak vessels require more attention to their health. Otherwise, varicose veins of the pelvic vessels are not excluded. It can also be obtained of a pathological nature.

Generally, the cause of the disease:

1. Vascular disorders (portal hypertension, May-Turner syndrome, arteriovenous conflicts).
2. Connective tissue dysplasia.
3. Formation of neoplasms.
4. Behavioral habits (low physical activity, abuse of toxic foods, lack of regular sexual intercourse, excessive physical force).

Genetic predisposition to varicose veins does not mean its development. If a man prefers a healthy lifestyle, the likelihood of venous damage is significantly reduced.

Classification

There are 3 degrees of varicose veins in men in the small pelvis.

The determination of the stage depends on the diameter of the affected vessels:

• For grade 1 BPHMT, this value is a maximum of 0. 5 cm;
• 2 degrees pathological, accompanied by an increase in vascular diameter up to 1 cm;
• When moving to the 3rd stage, the indicator is more than 1 cm.

According to its origin, the disease is classified as primary (congenital) and secondary.

symptoms

There are no early clinical manifestations of VVMT in men.

If there is no treatment for a long time, the symptoms develop as follows:

• painful sensations in the lower abdomen and perineum;
• increased pain after exercise, sexual intercourse and bowel movements (if the patient has constipation);
• swelling of the scrotum and perineum;
• dysuric diseases (urinary disorders).

Anxiety often increases when a person changes position. With VVMT, the pain spreads to the lower back or thigh. The more the veins are affected, the more likely it is that dysuria will develop.

Diagnostics

Several diagnostic methods are presented:

• TRUSI;
• Ultrasound examination of pelvic vessels;
• dopplerography;
• pharmacocovernosography (PCG).

In addition, the patient must undergo a coagulogram and spermogram. If you suspect a sexually transmitted disease, PCR is performed.

For an accurate definition of the disease, the patient should be examined by an andrologist and phlebologist.

ERCT treatment in men

If there are no symptoms in the affected vessels, the doctor may prescribe a course of prophylactic therapy with mandatory monitoring of the patient's condition.

How to use:

• phlebotonics (synthetic, plant-based);
• anticoagulants;
• vitamins;
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for painful discomfort).

Conservative methods are recommended for elderly patients, especially in the absence of severe symptoms.

Medications selected by a doctor help to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and improve hemodynamic parameters.

Surgical Treatment Methods

When the disease lasts a long time and is accompanied by various unpleasant symptoms, it is decided to carry out surgical treatment. When choosing a method of surgical intervention, the specialist takes into account the patient's age category, health and the presence of concomitant pathologies.

Surgery, especially endovascular surgery, is indicated for the following patients:

• intensive clinical manifestations;
• bilateral varicocele (recurrent nature);
• varicose veins of the prostate;
• Compression of the iliac vessels.

In addition, the disorder can be treated with angioplasty, stenting, and vascular embolization.

Folk remedies

Traditional medicine can be used to relieve symptoms and speed up the recovery of affected blood vessels. However, you should not use natural remedies without first consulting your doctor.

List of potential definitions:

1. Chopped ginger (4 tablespoons) and lemon peel pour boiling water (1 liter). After cooling, honey is added to the infusion (2-3 tablespoons L. ). The drink is used instead of tea.
2. Horse chestnut (200 g) is crushed and filled with vodka (1 l). The product is brewed in a dark place for 7 days. Recommended dose: 10 drops 3-4 times a day for a month.
3. Crushed oak, willow and chestnut twigs (1 tablespoon each) are poured into a pot, poured with boiling water (1 l) and put on low heat. Half an hour after boiling, the broth is removed from the oven and cooled. In addition, chamomile, rope, dried cress and St. John's wort (1 tbsp each) are added. The infusion time is 12 hours. A little honey should be added to the filtered medicine.

Dosage regimen of decoction: the first 2 days - 50 ml 3 times each, the next 2 days - 100 ml each, then the dose is increased to 150 ml. The duration of therapy is 20 days, after which there is a break of 10 days.

In addition to pollen, it is useful to use blueberries every day to improve the condition of blood vessels.

When using folk remedies, it is important to understand that you have only completed the basic course, so it is undesirable to refuse medication prescribed by a doctor.

Prognosis and probable complications

The best prognosis for treatment will be in the early stages of VVMT. If the disease develops over a long period of time, accompanied by characteristic symptoms, it will often be possible to cope only with the help of surgery.

Medications can reduce the risk of unwanted side effects as well as reduce the discomfort caused by vascular deformities.

Patients should know that surgery does not guarantee the absence of such relapses. If the man continues to lead the old way of life, the disease is likely to return.

In other words, good results from treatment:

can be expected with

• timely completion of therapy;
• strictly follow medical recommendations;
• behavior correction.

If the venous vessels of the small pelvis are affected by varicose veins, the patient is at risk of seizures:

• infinity;
• deterioration of spermatogenesis indices;
• diffuse changes in the prostate parenchyma;
• erectile dysfunction.

Thromboembolism increases with vascular deformity, the possibility of thrombus formation and their migration, massive bleeding and vascular rupture. Such complications are fatal for the patient (occurring in 5% of cases).

Preventive measures

You should have regular prophylaxis to protect the stronger sex from venous damage and the above consequences.

Follow these simple rules to protect yourself from an unpleasant disease:

1. Nicotine causes serious damage to blood vessels and the body as a whole, so you should quit smoking forever. Alcohol consumption should be minimized or eliminated.
2. One of the common causes of VVMT is a sedentary lifestyle. It is necessary not to stay in a static position for a long time, to go for a walk more. Office workers, who are constantly forced to sit at the computer, it is useful to warm up from time to time.
3. An important item on the list of recommendations is a nutritional adjustment. Doctors always advise to avoid harmful foods and eliminate them from the menu. The food consumed is rich in vitamins, minerals and many other valuable substances, which keeps the dishes firm and elastic.
4. Excessive physical exertion is worth avoiding.
5. Regular sex without interruption has a positive effect on blood vessels.
6. If a man has surgery, he must wear compression stockings. Medical underwear is selected taking into account certain parameters. In addition, you should take venotonics prescribed by your doctor. If necessary, the specialist will adjust the dose or prescribe a more appropriate tool.
7. To maintain the health of venous vessels, you should take time every day to do therapeutic exercises.

Regular medical checkups are of no importance that will allow you to detect any deviations in time and start therapy. The sooner the disease is detected, the easier it is to fight. In severe cases, long-term treatment is required.

Varicose veins without obvious symptoms of the small pelvis can be removed conservatively. Neglected disease is fought with the help of an operation, and even after surgical manipulations, the pathology may reappear.

It will be possible to minimize the risk of ERCT through prevention, which involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
