Caution, varicose veins and( s) with it!
The occurrence of pain in the veins is often not only a sign of fatigue, but also the first sign of the appearance of varicose veins, as well as thrombosis, phlebitis. Usually this is due to circulatory disorders, which requires immediate treatment.
Often, the pain in the veins that are observed on the legs, especially on the legs, under the knees and in the calf muscles, is associated with a phenomenon such as venous insufficiency. As a result, this leads to the appearance of various phlebological pathologies.
Do not panic ahead of time
Reasons for the appearance of pain in the veins, which are not associated with phlebological diseases:
- constant load, for example, long time on the legs;
- fatigue;
- physical overvoltage;
- long time sitting in a sitting position;
- various changes in the hormonal system;
- reception of hormonal contraceptives;
- smoking and alcoholism;
- heredity;
- improper power supply;
- injury.
But nevertheless more often the painful discomfort in the venous system causes phlebological diseases.
How it all begins - varicose
With varicose veins, the veins become wide, inflamed and protruding. In appearance they look like twisted cords with a bluish color. In addition, through the skin you can see inflamed vessels, and they look like blue or purple ropes.
During this disease, the elasticity and functionality of the vessels decreases, they become rigid and their structure thickens.
The main symptoms of varicose veins:
- strong swelling of the shins and feet towards the evening;
- observation of constant, aching and severe pain in the veins on the legs or hands, depending on the location;
- the skin in the affected areas acquires a compacted structure, becomes dark and pigmented;
- occurrence of persistent changes in width and length of veins, which causes circulatory disturbance and problems in the functioning of venous valves;
- over time, if left untreated, hard-to-treat ulcers form on the surface;
- further the walls of the affected veins become thin, burst, and bleeding occurs, which can even lead to death;
- can cause convulsions when running forms.
Thrombophlebitis - Severity, Pain and Fear
Thrombophlebitis is the inflammation of the veins, during which a thrombus arises in the place of the lumen of the vessel. This pathology usually appears in patients who already have varicose veins.
The main symptom that accompanies this disease is strong pain in the veins and their subsequent inflammation, they acquire a dense structure and protrude through the skin.
Touching inflamed veins gives rise to severe pain, which is most often seen in the upper part of the shin and under the knee.
Thrombosis of the lower extremities veins

- often appears blue to the surface of the skin of the legs.
Postphlebitic syndrome
Postphlebitic syndrome is a condition that occurs after a variety of venous pathologies, which is accompanied by a process of restoring veins.
During this condition, resorption or substitution by connective tissue fibers of blood clots is observed. However, the valve flaps are in the affected state and they can no longer function normally.
This condition is accompanied by a strong pain syndrome of veins, as a result of which patients often even limp. In addition, the legs are constantly swelling.
Typically female problems

Sometimes, varicose veins are treated with a veinectomy. During this operation, the vein is completely removed. This method is considered obsolete, and it is used only in municipal and state medical institutions.
In thrombosis, thromboembolism can be prescribed. This method of treatment is prescribed if there is a risk of pulmonary embolism, gangrene and other serious consequences.
Also, thrombosis can be treated with balloon angioplasty. During this procedure, the lumen of the vessel is restored, which increases the movement of blood inside it.
Physiotherapy
Varicose expansion and other phlebological diseases are prescribed different physiotherapeutic procedures:
- Local darsonvalization .This procedure increases blood circulation and improves lymph flow.
- Impulsive magnetotherapy .During this treatment, edema is swelling, blood flow through the veins is increased, and the muscle fibers of the vein walls are stimulated.
- Application of magnetic field and laser .This complex treatment allows you to quickly remove pain, strengthen the veins, get rid of thrombosis.
