Treatment of varicose veins by laser

Varicose veins are a progressive disease of the leg veins that can be treated, in which the veins of the lower extremities widen, blood flow is disturbed and pathological nodes in the venous wall appear. The disease is dangerous because of the gradual development of thrombophlebitis against its background. As a result, thrombi form which threaten death if separated from the vessel walls. In our time, getting rid of varicose is very real, even in the last stages.

Stages of development of varicose veins

There are 4 degrees of varicose following one after another. Unfortunately, patients very often do not pay attention to the first two, considerably complicating the fight against the disease. Consider all 4 stages of varicose veins:

1. Initial varicose veins . Already at the age of 25 years, the first signs of varicose veins may appear-pain, swelling, heaviness and raspiraniya in the legs, especially after a long working day in a sitting position, on heels or standing. Usually these symptoms pass after a short rest, especially with the legs raised up. No changes on the skin can be seen.
2. The first stage . Symptoms of the initial stage include periodic sensations of burning, numbness, tingling and cramps in the legs, as well as visible vascular asterisks and venous nodules. Already at this stage it is worthwhile to see a doctor to learn how to remove varicose veins and prevent the progression of the disease.
3. The second stage occurs a few years after the first. With this degree of varicose, edema and pain in the lower extremities are greatly increased. The number of vascular asterisks and nodules increases.
4. The third stage . It occurs in the absence of adequate treatment and is characterized by severe pain in the legs with varicose veins, permanent edema , strongly protruding venous nodules that periodically burst, forming ulcers. Such ulcers hard heal, after them visible scars are formed. Also, with internal varicose dryness and itching of the skin are constantly observed, cracks appear easily. In addition, the color of the skin of the legs changes, it becomes dark brown in color.

Treatment of varicose veins

Methods of treating varicose veins are divided into conservative and surgical.

Conservative methods include medications and compression therapy. Medication removes inflammation, increases the tone of the veins and stimulates blood circulation in the vessels. Compression treatment is performed with the help of elastic bandage or special knitwear - socks, knee socks and stockings in 4 compression classes. Thanks to this therapy, the development of the disease is suspended, edema decreases, and the lymph drainage improves.

Surgical methods of treatment are used in cases of severe varicose veins, when conservative treatment does not help. The most modern and gentle method is the treatment of varicose veins with a laser. The method of laser coagulation of varicose veins is performed on an outpatient basis, which is one of the undeniable advantages.

Laser varicose removal

The removal of varicose veins by the laser is carried out endovenously, that is, through a vein. A small puncture of the vein is made at the level of the inner ankle, where a laser light guide is inserted. Then the inner wall of the vessel is irradiated with a laser and the vein "seals" as it were. The procedure is quick, safe and painless, after which the patient can immediately get up and walk.

The absence of seams and a short recovery period make the laser the method of choice in the treatment of varicose veins in the absence of contraindications. After the operation, it is necessary to wear compression linen for a week round the clock, and then in the daytime for two months.
