Modern medicine and vascular surgery to date, is the only panacea and effective cosmetic and surgical treatments. But about all under the order.
Intake of internal medicines you can get rid of varicose veins forever
Fact. Modern pharmaceutical market offers a wide range of drugs. They all have similar substance (plant flavonoids), and low efficiency and side effects. Tonic veins will not save you from varicose veins, but pregnancy, swelling and night cramps is quite possible.

Fact. The saliva of leeches rich hirudin that thins the blood. This fact is the main reason why ignorant people resort to using leeches for varicose veins, mixing it with thrombophlebitis.
Blood thinners will not affect varicose veins, which is caused by increase of the venous lumen and the valve insufficiency. About the hazard of such treatment, a quiet.
The results of the treatment can be skin pigmentation on the scene bites, prolonged bleeding of wounds. This is the best. The worst develop skin rash, limfostazom, PHLEBOTHROMBOSIS, and even gangrene of the limb.
The composition of the saliva of leeches a lot of allergens that can, with chronic venous stasis can cause inflammatory and allergic reactions that destroy the skin and worsen the varicose veins.
Phlebology recognize such treatment to outright quackery, dangerous to the health of the patient. Leech therapy is particularly contraindicated in ulcers.
Compression hosiery to eliminate the causes of varicose veins, and the disease itself

When the elastic compression is not removed the cause of the disease, and only simulates the situation when the veins are "closed" or deleted. Properly size and recommend wearing just Phlebology.
Treatments for varicose veins
Nowadays, methods for the treatment of varicose veins has been simplified and almost all are performed on an outpatient basis, and if you need hospital care, only one or two days. The main types of treatment: sclerotherapy, laser coagulation, radio frequency ablation, surgery.
Experienced professionals often use several methods at once. Consider the most common, their pros and cons.
Sclerotherapy
This non-surgical method to remove the patients veins. The ship is marked sklerozant, particularly liquid products, which glue the vein, which eventually disappears. Blood stops flowing to the affected area and again through healthy veins.
Sclerotherapy was applied at the beginning of the last century, now the procedure has become less dangerous and traumatic. Sklerozant be brought to the patient's vein using a thin needle or a micro catheter. One session can take up to 4 injections, and the number of sessions is determined by the severity of the disease.
After the injection of the patient to use support stockings, it is recommended to walk (up to 5 hours) to avoid deep vein thrombosis. Flexible packaging must be used during treatment and at the end (4 weeks).
Sclerotherapy improves blood circulation, dilated vessels disappear, are swelling, pain, cramps and fatigue. Places that occur on remove veins finally over.
Sclerotherapy includes:
- Itself sclerotherapy
- ECHO-sclerotherapy (injected sklerozant right on schedule, thanks to the ultrasound to see the venous cavity),
- Foam-form sclerotherapy. Sklerozant turns into a foam, brought on board a vessel, which allows you to "seal" tightly even large veins.
Sclerotherapy ensure the long-term medical and cosmetic result, and in some cases throughout a lifetime. Only 25% of patients with varicose veins running can count on a full recovery. The manifestation of the disease is considerably reduced.
Contra-indications:
- Individual intolerance to the sklerozant.
- Taking an anti-inflammatory and hormonal drugs.

Laser-treatment — "office surgery"
Photocoagulation — laser treatment of varicose veins by closing their lumen. Is the latest development of the German experts called endovenous (intravenous) or endovasal coagulation (evlt there or evlt there). Currently widely used in leading clinics in Russia and abroad.
With evlt there is a "soldering" (ablation) of the damaged veins through a high-energy laser without incisions. Thermal laser treatment inside the vein injected a special fiber through the puncture, there is a spasm of the vein, the cavity is sealed from the inside. Vienna is eliminated in the bloodstream, and later replaced by connective tissue.
The degree of the effect of evl on jun patients veins higher than sclerotherapy and achieves a similar effect in the classic vein removal.
Intravascular coagulation has a recognized minus the traumatic and fast modern way to remove varicose veins.
A little time spent on activities (about 40 minutes) and recovery (up to 4 hours), local anesthesia — all of these factors lead to treatment of "office surgery". The patient after the procedure can leave the clinic on their own, and to return to the workplace.
Pros.
Intravascular laser ablation is a worthy alternative to surgical intervention:
- Excellent cosmetic effect — during surgery there are no incisions.
- Short of evlt there procedure takes less than an hour.
- Fast recovery, which gives you the opportunity to no longer work.
- The coagulation laser is controlled the signs of ultrasound, which improves the quality of care, minimize postoperative complications.
- Without hematomas and bruises.
Cons:
- The operation cost is very high
- The large diameter of veins do not eliminate incisions.
- The vienna large diameter can fall apart later and be back.
VNUS. Radio frequency ablation
The new method, developed by the international scientific community, in order to find the most perfect remedy for varicose veins in the legs. In north America and Europe, the method is practiced already for more than 10 years, Russia has in practice large clinics recently.
VNUS — endovasal method is used for the treatment of people suffering from varicose veins large veins of the body. In a puncture of the injected radio-frequency catheter, "medicandi" Vienna microwave exposure. The catheter has sensors, which measure the usefulness and effectiveness of the thermal effect on the vein wall.
Pros:
- Outpatient conditions.
- Under local anesthesia.
- Preservation injury.
- Without incisions.
- The rapid recovery of the patient (30 minutes after surgery). A week you can use.
- The lack of pain and bruising in most cases.
- High security.
Cons:
- The high cost of.
- Can occur in burns that are quickly.
- Concentration on the day of surgery (you cannot drive a car and engage in other activities that require concentration).
In the united states radio frequency ablation is used much less frequently than laser photocoagulation. This is due to the high cost of almost equal results. Coagulation to give a higher percentage of the complete disappearance of the veins thanks to the new generation of lasers, which offer higher efficiency and without hematomas.
Radical methods
The start of thrombophlebitis, eczema, trophic ulcers sclerotherapy and other procedures bezoperatsionnye to do later. In this case, doctors were more likely to resort to surgical methods, combining them with sclerotherapy.
Many clinics offer high-tech micro-surgical methods of removal of sick veins, that minus the traumatic (allow one small incision to remove the entire diseased vein), do not leave scars and scarring, short-term (40 minutes after the patient can go home).
In the opinion of phlebology, fear the removal of varicose veins does not affect. Blood-swollen veins are a serious threat to health and life. After their removal, blood flow normal, healthy veins removed redundant load.
