Know about stages of the varicose veins is very important, at the time of start prevention and treatment. After all, this may be the first step to maintaining the health of the veins. Such sensations of fatigue and heaviness in the legs at the end of the day, familiar to almost everyone, but little person communicates with varicose veins. And, however, these symptoms can be signs of diseases of the veins.
Once again note that there are several options for the classification of stages of varicose veins feet. We went back to a point that divides the development of the disease in three phases: the phase of compensation, the stage subcompensation and the phase of decompensation. Consider them more.
Varicose veins: the initial phase of
The initial stage of varicose veins also called the payment stage.
This period can last from a few months to a few years. The fact is that on the body mechanisms that are activated when the violation of work of the veins and compensates for them. This is why the initial stage of varicose veins, received the name of "phase compensation". But therein lies the danger: a person may, for a long period of ignoring the signs of the disease, and a waste of time, when the fight with him would be more efficient.
In this phase, the external signs of varicose veins may be absent, and can manifest in the form of vases - with a forecast of varicose veins. Patients concerned with weight on the legs, sensation of flatulence, swelling of the feet at the end of the afternoon, but they bring a little discomfort. Usually, these symptoms are debited fatigue at the end of the work day, especially if the profession is related to the duration of your stay on their feet.
If varicose veins are diagnosed in the early stage, it is assigned a conservative non-surgical treatment. In particular, apply different types of sclerotherapy.
Varicose veins progresses
As it seems varicose veins in an early stage of, approximately, means: the external signs are not pronounced, the patient is the focus of your well-being. And behold, in the second stage, called the stage of subcompensation, patients usually seek a doctor.
The Sub-compensation - the stage of the disease, when the body cannot fully cope with all their negative consequences. The patient begins to not only complain of pain or swelling at the end of the complex days, but to experience the discomfort that is persistent, that prevent you from bringing the normal life. And in the time of their conversion, the phlebologist.
Vienna at this stage become more pronounced and clearly visible. The skin may acquire more dark, cianótica, darkness. At this stage the unpleasant feeling that the patient is observed in the initial stage of varicose veins amplified. Swelling, pain, burning sensation, small cramps in the legs celebrated not only the night, but also during the night.
This phase is shown to be more than a serious treatment: coagulation, laser, minimally, is not necessarily recommended wearing compression mesh fabrics.
If the varicose veins are not treated...
If patients are not carefully their condition and does not turn to phlebologist, varicose veins enters the third compensation stage.
Decompensation - the stage of the disease, when the organism ceases to cope with its function as a result of a prolonged illness. At this point, the mechanisms of adaptation and a device to stop working.
In the compensation phase of the varicose veins the blood outflow to deformed veins seriously disturbed. Suffers thus the nutrition of tissues, they accumulate the liquid, can occur trophic ulcer. Vienna strongly deformed, there can be serious complications in the form of thrombophlebitis.
At this stage the treatment varicose veins you need to exercise as a matter of urgency, methods, conservative turn out to be ineffective, therefore, the patients shows the operation. Otherwise, the disease begins to pose a threat to life.
There is the international classification of stages of varicose veins, which is different from the table above. The experts highlight the seven stages of the disease, which are indicated by a letter (in Latin class):
- C0 xor - phase, when the visible signs of lack varicose veins
