The female organism is very inclined to various violations of blood flow in the vessels. One of the most urgent problems of this nature is varicose veins of the lower extremities, treatment of this pathology is very in demand, both among young and mature phlebologist patients. Fortunately, modern medicine can offer effective treatment of the disease, allowing you to forget about it forever.
Standards of treatment of varicose veins of the lower extremities
Getting rid of dilated blood vessels and puffiness, as well as pain syndrome, return to normal appearance of the legs is achieved by combining 3 basic methods of therapy:
- Drug treatment. Prescribed drugs improve lymphatic drainage, microcirculation and tone of the venous walls, reduce capillary permeability. They also stop pain and inflammation, eliminate various rheological disorders. With varicose veins of the lower extremities, the medicamental effect serves not only therapeutic purposes, but also acts as a preparatory stage before the operation.
- Compression treatment. The use of special elastic bandages and knitwear provides a steady decrease in the diameter of veins, capillary filtration, the volume of "ballast" blood, contribute to the disappearance of reflux in the blood vessels. In addition, the speed of blood flow, the rates of resorption and lymphatic drainage increases. Thanks to bandaging and wearing compression underwear for varicose veins of the lower extremities, surgery can be postponed or avoided altogether.
- Surgery. Modern operative methods are minimally invasive and practically painless. Therefore, phlebologist patients can immediately return to their normal life after surgical manipulation. In addition, there is no need for a long period of rehabilitation. With strict adherence to medical recommendations, the risk of recurrence is reduced to almost zero.

Operations for varicose veins of the lower extremities
Among surgical methods of treatment of the described pathology today are used such:
- Sclerotherapy - directly injected into the affected vein drug that "glues" its walls.
- Laser coagulation or obliteration - under the influence of directed radiation, the blood in the damaged vessel is sintered, and the venous walls are "welded" to each other.
- Phlebectomy is a surgical operation (minimally invasive), which allows to completely remove varicose veins through small incisions.
- Radiofrequency coagulation - the method produces an effect identical to laser obliteration, only the adhesion of the walls of blood vessels occurs under the influence of radio waves of a certain frequency.
