Varicose veins are damaged in which the blood circulates poorly. They are bluish, dilated and twisted, and may be more or less prominent. In most cases, varicose veins are formed on the legs. They can also appear in the region of the vulva (vulvar varicose veins) or scrotum (varicoceles). Varicose veins are permanent. You can not "cure", but most can be eliminated through various interventions. In addition, it is possible to relieve symptoms associated with it and prevent the formation of other varicose veins, and the problems that may arise. In 95% of cases, varicose veins affect saphenous veins, that is to say, superficial veins that go back along the leg, and collateral veins. These varices are the result of a set of risk factors (heredity, overweight, pregnancy, etc. ). . In a minority of people, varicose veins are caused by inflammation of a deep vein (deep phlebitis) that eventually reach the network of superficial veins. People with varicose veins suffer from chronic venous insufficiency. This means that their venous system has difficulty in securing the return of blood to the heart. First signs: pain, tingling and heaviness in the legs, calf cramps, swollen ankles and feet. You can also feel itching. These symptoms are amplified when prolonged standing or sitting still. Appearance of spider veins and varicose veins: varicosities affect the very small veins. They are not prominent and look like a spider's web. They are usually not painful. As for varicose veins are larger and more dilated. They are often accompanied by symptoms related to early signs of venous insufficiency: tingling, heaviness, swelling, pain, etc. . A brownish skin. Rupture of small blood vessels ensures that blood escapes and invades surrounding tissue. The blood thus liberated gives areas of the skin varying in color from yellow to brown, hence its name: stasis dermatitis and stasis dermatitis. Of ulcers. Painful ulcers may form on the skin, usually near the ankle. The skin used to be a brownish color. Consult a physician. A blood clot. A blood clot in a vein (or phlebitis) can cause local pain if the vein is a superficial vein damage. It is an alarm signal important as more advanced venous insufficiency can lead to deep phlebitis and pulmonary embolism. For more information, see our fact sheet Phlebitis. Attention! A sensation of heat accompanied by a sudden swelling and a dull pain in the calf or thigh requires urgent medical attention. Veins carry blood to the heart from the body. Varicose veins occur when certain mechanisms or parts of the venous system deteriorate. The veins are provided with numerous valves that act as valves. When the veins contract and are subject to the action of surrounding muscles, the valves open in one direction, forcing the blood to flow towards the heart. In closing, they prevent blood from flowing backwards. If the valves become weak, blood flows so well. It tends to stagnate or even fall in the legs, for example. The pooling of blood resulting dilate the vein and it becomes varicose. During the march, the return of blood to the heart is stimulated by the leg muscles, which act as a pump to the deep veins. Low muscle tone in the legs is therefore a factor contributing to the formation of varicose veins. At rest, the walls of the veins also play an important role in the return of blood to the heart. Their effectiveness depends on their ability to contract (tone) of their elasticity and tightness. Over time, they can lose their elasticity and their tone. The walls can deteriorate to the point of becoming semi-permeable. They leave then escape from the liquid blood into surrounding tissues, causing swelling of the legs and ankles, for example. Pain, tingling and heaviness in the legs, calf cramps and swollen ankles and feet. You can also feel itching. Individuals predisposed by their heredity. Hereditary factors are predominant. Having a mother, father, brother or sister having or having had an increased risk of varicose veins. People over 50 years. The process of degeneration of veins and their valves, however, can start their thirties. Pregnant women. At the time of pregnancy, the expansion of the uterus compresses the large abdominal veins, which impedes venous return. In addition, the hormones secreted during pregnancy cause a relaxation of the musculature of the veins. Fortunately, varicose veins that are only related to pregnancy often subside on their own within 3 months after delivery. The people who work standing up. Cashiers, nurses, waiters, teachers, etc. . are particularly affected, but only if they have a hereditary predisposition to varicose veins. The repetitive lifting of heavy objects, as in the case of people who work in the handling or practicing weightlifting. When heredity predisposes a person to varicose veins, it is not easy to escape. However, maintaining good muscle tone and physical fitness can reduce the risk of varicose veins appear or delay the onset. The risk of complications is reduced. Move. The exercises seeking the legs, such as walking, swimming and cycling are particularly suitable for preventing varicose veins. The compression of the muscles adjacent to veins facilitates venous return. Keep a healthy weight. Excess weight puts excessive pressure on the leg veins, which impedes the return of venous blood to the heart. Watching your diet. By eating little salt, it helps prevent swelling caused by fluid retention. By eating foods high in fiber can prevent constipation. You should know that to force a bowel movement can increase the pressure in the venous system. Elevate his legs. It is recommended to do 3 or 4 times daily, 15 to 30 minutes each time. The legs should be placed above the heart. One can, for example, lie on a bed or a couch by placing pillows under her legs. Vary its posture. Avoid standing or sitting too long. When working up, it's good to stretch to think, move and sit on the occasion to stimulate circulation in the legs. When working sitting, avoid crossing your legs and torso look forward for long periods. Move your feet and ankles. When you need to sit or stand for long periods, it is good to think of pointing the toes down and up to promote venous return. Repeat several times a day. Move during a trip. During a long flight, it is recommended to get up and stretch regularly for a few minutes. It can also, for example, raise your heels slowly to contract the calf muscles. Avoid sources of heat. The heat expands the veins. Avoid: showers and hot baths, saunas, sunbathing, tanning salons, and hair removal with hot wax. Avoid tight clothing. These can interfere with blood circulation. Watch out for girdles, tight jeans, socks to tighten elastic ankles or knees, as well as tight shoes. Wear flat shoes. High heels are contributing to the collapse of the arch and are therefore detrimental to traffic. Shoes with small heels make more work the calf muscles, which helps the veins to do their job. Care vary depending on the severity of varicose veins. The basic treatment consists of the following: elastic compression, sclerotherapy (see below), elevation of the legs and preventive measures to avoid worsening the problem. In terms of spider veins, sclerotherapy may be sufficient. Treatment of varicose veins usually must be repeated, usually every year or every 2 years because of new varicose veins are formed. Socks, stockings or tights elastic compression is used to both relieve existing varicose veins and prevent the appearance of new varicose veins. They act as a "second layer" of muscles that put pressure on the active surface veins. .
