According to the latest medical observations, the main outbreaks of varicose veins occur in the summer months. Previously, it was believed that varicose veins were a disease of the spring months. In any case, it is warming that influences the appearance of this insidious disease. What should you do to avoid spider veins and bulging veins (where to treat varicose veins)?
So, the summer heat quite often affects the entire body, including the legs. Blood begins to circulate more slowly, and the constant high temperature and sun take moisture from the body. The most interesting thing is that even in cloudy weather, and when you are in a coastal area with a light blowing summer breeze, this disease can still manifest itself in all its glory.
And all this happens due to temperature: 23 degrees Celsius and, regardless of weather conditions and climate, the walls of blood vessels expand. The blood flow slows down. Swelling and discomfort begin to appear in the lower extremities, which are the first signs of varicose veins.
Those who already have varicose veins notice an increase in the area of distribution in the summer months.
In order to spend the summer without any special health problems, in particular, without varicose veins, you need to follow a number of not very difficult rules.
Under no circumstances should you be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, especially from 11:00 to 16:00. It is at this time that all the most harmful radiations are activated. Relaxing on the beach is very useful, but not for a long time, and must be accompanied by vigorous activity: walking, swimming, splashing.
Before going out into the sun, you also need to protect your skin with special lotions, creams and masks against tanning.
At the same time, pay close attention to the protection components, because many of them can cause allergies when exposed to sunlight. Test the product you are purchasing in advance by applying it to the most sensitive skin. If itching and redness appear after two to three hours, you should discard the purchased assistant in the fight against ultraviolet radiation.
Before the holiday season, most women begin to get rid of unwanted body hair using various techniques. We warn those who have manifestations of varicose veins: be careful when choosing a hair removal method! Many of the hair removal methods can cause great harm by introducing infection into open hair follicles. Contact trusted specialists.
When choosing clothes, be sure to be guided by ease of wearing. Only light clothing that does not restrict movement can be suitable for people with varicose veins. Tight, tight clothes in the summer will further aggravate the situation.
Choose comfortable shoes with low heels. The maximum permissible heel height in case of varicose veins is 5 cm. Moreover, shoes with flat soles are also not recommended, since high heels and the absence of them bring additional inconvenience to the veins.
In severe cases with very prominent veins, it is recommended to wear compression stockings on public transport and in case of heaviness and fatigue in the legs.
The rest of the time, you don’t have to think about it.
It's no secret that excess weight is one of the main causes of varicose veins. And naturally, during the summer months, most of us try to lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible. Not only physical activity, but also a specially selected summer diet will help us with this.
Eat foods that contain the maximum amount of vitamins (E, C, P) and minerals. Don't get carried away with fats, even vegetable ones. If possible, your summer diet should include grapes, carrots, blueberries, oranges and spinach.
In order to lose weight in a short period of time without much loss to the body, a colorful diet is ideal. Naturally, before you start the process of losing weight, you should definitely consult with a specialist.
So, choose a fasting day that should be repeated periodically (at least once every two months).
And on all other days, stick to choosing foods of all colors of the rainbow. One day - one color.
If you don’t remember the color spectrum of the rainbow, then be sure to remember this phrase from childhood: Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits.
Each first letter of the words means a different color:
Naturally, in the summer you need to drink as much fluid as possible to avoid severe moisture loss. After all, with a lack of water, the blood thickens and blood clots can form. At the same time, offices, public transport, and air-conditioned rooms have an active influence on moisture loss.
The norm of liquid is a glass per hour. In this case, it is advisable to drink pure still water or juices.
Give up alcohol, coffee and soda, as well as bad habits such as smoking.
Nothing helps get rid of varicose veins or prevent their occurrence like active physical activity. It is inactivity along with excess weight that become the main causes of the disease.
Therefore, in order to maintain a healthy body, be sure to perform various sets of exercises that strengthen the tone of the veins of the legs. This could be walking, swimming, cycling, or a little leg stretching.
Aerobics, jogging, and tennis are contraindicated for people suffering from varicose veins.
The most important way to prevent varicose veins is walking. Namely, 4,000 steps daily, and your legs should be wearing compression stockings.
An additional means of combating is a contrast shower for the feet.
Naturally, nothing helps tired legs more than periodic rest: whenever possible, try to sit on a sofa or chair so that your legs are slightly higher than the rest of your body. For example, when lying on the sofa, first place pillows or bolsters under them, and when sitting on a chair or armchair, simply place your feet on the table.
If swelling is severe, try to pamper your feet every evening with herbal baths with chamomile flowers, horsetail, sage and calendula.
Restless legs syndrome can be relieved using herbs. 4 teaspoons of flaxseed are poured into 1 liter of cold water and boiled for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards it is infused in a warm place for 1 hour. A little fruit juice is added and consumed orally every 2 hours, 0.5 cups daily 6-8 times. The result will appear in 2 weeks.
You can use Antistax medicine for 2-3 months.
And be sure to visit a phlebologist at least once a year (Phlebology treatment).

The summer season is the time for beach holidays, walks and work in the country, but the heat is not equally safe for everyone. Elevated air temperatures create additional stress on the cardiovascular system and provoke the progression of vascular diseases. The heat is most dangerous for patients with ischemic and hypertension, as well as with varicose veins. How to help weak blood vessels get through this difficult period.
When the air temperature in the environment increases, the human body activates additional reserves aimed at removing excess heat and maintaining a constant body temperature in conditions of overheating.
Changes that occur in the body when overheated:
How to help blood vessels in the heat? Actions will largely depend on the specific disease.
During the hot season, patients with coronary artery disease may notice an increase in symptoms of shortness of breath and increased frequency of attacks of heart pain. There may be increased swelling of the legs and persistent headaches. The heart of such patients experiences increased stress, which can lead to the development of heart attacks.
In order to ease the load on the heart, it is recommended:
Despite the ability of high temperatures to dilate blood vessels, the summer season is a time of increased frequency of hypertensive crises. This is due to the fact that at first the vessels dilate, but at some point they undergo a sharp spasm and the pressure jumps. Such a paradoxical jump in blood pressure is the most dangerous for a patient with hypertension, as it can lead to a stroke.
In order to protect yourself, patients with hypertension are recommended to:
Varicose veins in the legs also experience increased stress in the heat. Vasodilation and blood thickening increase venous stagnation, as a result of which varicose veins progress. To prevent the progression of varicose veins, it is recommended:
Varicose veins are traditionally a problem for the fairer sex, but every woman wants to show off her tanned legs. How dangerous is it to sunbathe with varicose veins, and how to do it correctly, read here.
Find out how blood vessels react to the autumn cooling after the heat from this article.
The consequences of varicose veins are a problem almost more serious than varicose veins itself, so the disease should not be taken lightly. Why are these consequences dangerous? First of all, impaired blood circulation in the large and small vessels of the legs and subsequent inflammatory processes in them.
In order to understand what happens to diseased veins without treatment, you need to understand the causes and mechanism of development of varicose veins.
Venous circulation in the human body occurs from bottom to top - that is, from the lower extremities to the heart. The main load in this case falls on the deep vessels, in which there are no muscles that would pump blood upward. This role is performed by the normal muscles of the legs: contracting when walking, squatting, bending and running, they push the blood upward so that it reaches the heart.
To prevent blood from flowing down under the influence of gravity, venous valves (a kind of pockets on the walls of blood vessels) close and create an obstacle to its outflow. This is how the circulatory system works normally.
When the leg muscles are at rest more often than in movement, the load on the veins of the legs increases, the blood moves more slowly and stretches the walls of the blood vessels, causing them to swell. Excessive stretching can cause loss of elasticity.
Over time, venous valves lose their closing ability and stop closing completely even with loads on the leg muscles.
A similar picture can be observed with excessive stress on the muscles during heavy physical work or sports: with strong static stress, pressure on the walls of blood vessels increases, so varicose veins are a frequent companion of physically hard working people.
Varicose veins can occur for quite a long time with a minimal set of symptoms due to the high compensatory capabilities of veins and valves : deep veins have great strength and ability to stretch, and valves can maintain their closing capabilities for a long period.
However, at some point they are exhausted, and the consequence is varicose veins, manifested in:
This is the first stage of chronic venous insufficiency, when the consequences of varicose veins, swollen, knotty veins, are not yet visible, but blood circulation is already impaired.
Spider veins - telangiectasia, which arise as a result of bulging and rupture of small subcutaneous vessels - may also indicate trouble. Sometimes there are so many of them that they form an entire vascular network on the legs.
Of course, spider veins in themselves do not pose a threat to health, and therefore are perceived by many people (especially women) solely as a kind of cosmetic defect, but they are a signal that a problem with blood circulation already exists.
Swollen legs in the evening are a phenomenon familiar to most people whose work involves spending a long time in some static position - standing or sitting. Fans of high-heeled shoes also complain of swelling and pain in the evening.
Why do my legs swell? Swelling of the ankles and feet is a sign of stagnation of blood in the veins, when the walls of the vessels cannot withstand the pressure and begin to leak fluid, which then accumulates in the tissues. The result is asymmetrical swelling (there is swelling on one leg, but not on the other), which disappears after resting with the legs elevated or raised up.
Pain with varicose veins is initially felt only at the end of the day and quickly passes, but as the disease progresses, it appears not only during the day, but also at night, often combined with cramps.
Sudden pain in the calf muscle, accompanied by redness and swelling, and a rise in temperature, is a symptom of acute thrombophlebitis. Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein affected by varicose veins and the formation of a thrombus in it - a blood clot that blocks the lumen of the vein. Redness and swelling appear precisely in the area of the thrombosed area. In the absence of treatment, acute thrombophlebitis acquires a chronic course, which is characterized by alternating exacerbations and remissions (disease subsidence).
Inflammation of thrombosed veins occurs due to the penetration of infection into the damaged walls of blood vessels, and thrombosis can be caused by blood thickening due to taking certain medications or poor drinking habits.
The most serious complication of thrombophlebitis is deep vein thrombosis, in which blood clots can break off and travel through the bloodstream to the heart and pulmonary artery, causing pulmonary thromboembolism, a life-threatening condition. The larger the detached blood clot, the higher the likelihood of a fatal outcome.
The reddened skin over the thrombosed area of the vein turns blue after a while and then acquires a brown tint. So the skin of sore legs gradually becomes covered with brown spots, while thinning and becoming extremely fragile.
This is accompanied by severe itching, forcing patients to scratch their skin until it bleeds. Scratching not only injures it, but also causes infection, resulting in inflammation - stagnant dermatitis (varicose eczema).
Stasis dermatitis is a sign of the second stage of chronic venous insufficiency.
Dermatitis in patients with advanced thrombophlebitis is aggravated by the appearance of trophic ulcers and sudden bleeding from them, and in advanced cases - the formation of venous ulcers. They indicate that the disease has entered the third and final stage.
When chronic venous insufficiency caused by varicose veins is in the first stage (heavy leg syndrome, periodically occurring and quickly passing swelling), patients are able to do without compression garments and bandages and perform normal work.
The second stage of CVI (formation of blood clots, thrombophlebitis, dermatitis) requires the use of supportive agents and limitation of exercise.
The third stage of chronic venous insufficiency (development of trophic and venous ulcers) means complete disability of patients and implies registration of disability.
Varicose veins are a reason to immediately contact a phlebologist at the first signs of circulatory problems. This is the only way to prevent its further development and the onset of disability, therefore, following the doctor’s recommendations, doing physical therapy, using venotonics and wearing compression garments are mandatory measures without which it is impossible to maintain health.
Reticular varicose veins of the legs are a mild form of varicose veins, dilation of thin venous vessels in the form of spots, “stars” or meshes of bluish-red color.
It is considered a cosmetic problem, the only inconvenience of which is its unaesthetic appearance.
The principle of operation of veins in our body differs from the operation of arteries: when muscles contract, the veins contract, blood is pushed upward, the valves close, blocking the outflow of blood in the opposite direction.
If you remain motionless for a long time, the muscles do not contract, the blood flow puts pressure on the walls of the blood vessels, the valves and blood vessels expand, giving rise to varicose veins.
More often, reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities occur due to genetic predisposition and structural features of veins and blood vessels, as well as:
Other causes of reticular varicose veins:
Of all the stages of varicose veins, reticular varicose veins are the most common. Without causing severe complications and occurring without pain, it nevertheless requires treatment, since in its neglected form it becomes chronic, developing into a serious disease.
Signs of reticular varicose veins:
At the initial stages of reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities, medicinal underwear, hirudotherapy (leech treatment), and traditional medicine recipes are used.
Home treatment is effective only at the initial stage, when there is an aesthetic defect, there is no swelling and pain in the legs by the end of the day. In other situations, you need to contact a phlebologist.
Medicinal treatment methods consist of taking medications. Many of them are prohibited for use by pregnant and lactating women.
Popular drugs for reticular varicose veins are Detralex, Phlebodia tablets, Antistax and Venoruton capsules, Troxevasin ointment. To completely eliminate symptoms, medications are combined with other procedures.
Before their appointment, an ultrasound examination and a set of tests are performed.
After any of the minimally invasive procedures, patients are prescribed to wear compression stockings, which reduce the strain and prevent stagnation of blood in the veins.
Treatment with folk remedies, thanks to natural ingredients, in the early stages of reticular varicose veins can bring a complete cure. At advanced stages it is used as auxiliary procedures.
Folk remedies vary in how they are used:
How to treat reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities with folk remedies:
Performing simple exercises daily has a therapeutic and preventive effect:
Walking, long walks, walking before bed, brisk walking are good for your legs:
Effective treatment of reticular varicose veins of the lower extremities includes eliminating both the symptoms and the causes of the disease.
Preventive measures include:
Diet is no less important than medications:
When using any one remedy for the treatment of reticular varicose veins, you should not expect a complete cure; the most effective are complex measures.
As a result of varicose veins, a person's veins become dilated, deformed and stretched due to prolonged physical activity or hereditary predisposition. By age 30, one in three women and one in ten men may be susceptible to the disease. Also, the risk of disease may increase with a sedentary lifestyle in the office or in the car. In Kazakhstan, approximately 30% of the population suffers from varicose veins. And in countries like the UK and the USA, one third of the population suffers from varicose veins in the legs.

Great service. Previously, there were complexes associated with varicose veins, especially in summer. I had to wear pants, jeans, etc. I decided to get rid of this problem. Thanks to Dr. Aidar Tolegenovich Parmanov for his professionalism! I only recommend him.
Good afternoon I wanted to send my mother for treatment abroad, i.e. to South Korea and Germany; BUT WE WERE DENIED THERE, they said that there was a trophic ulcer of a very large diameter and complicated varicose veins ((Then, purely by chance, through friends, I was advised to contact the surgeon Aidar Tulegenovich Parmanov (vascular surgeon), after which the doctor did not refuse and agreed to the operation))) I would like to thank the experienced doctors for the successful operation, my mother’s ulcer healed after 2 weeks, varicose veins disappeared. I recommend Aidar Tulegenovich Parmanov to everyone!
Mom suffered from varicose veins for a long time, until a friend recommended the surgeon Aidar Tolegenovich. And finally, at the age of 60, she decided to have surgery. Mom is happy with the result!

I’m only 30 years old, and the problem with my veins was as if I was 50. I was ashamed to bare my legs on the beach. The vessels on the legs were very clearly visible, there was a vascular network. After treatment with Parmanov Aidar Tolegenovich, I finally felt really young - in the summer it’s not a shame to wear short skirts, shorts and swimsuits. Thank you for the work done, for your good and warm attitude towards me! I recommend you to everyone!

This summer, upon returning from studying in China, I needed to undergo treatment with a vascular surgeon. I myself am from Stepnogorsk, and there are simply no such specialists in the city. I had to look for a doctor in Astana. I was very lucky that I got a consultation with Aidar Tolegenovich Parmanov, who prescribed a course of treatment for me and successfully performed surgery on my left leg. Now I have recovered and am ready to continue my studies in China again without worrying about varicose veins. All this was realized thanks to the professionalism of Dr. Parmanov. I recommend him to all those who have problems with varicose veins, because you need to trust your health to such a highly qualified specialist. With gratitude for his kind participation, I wish Aidar Tolegenovich all the best in his difficult but honorable work!
I suffered from varicose veins on my right leg for more than 15 years; on June 3, 2017, I had surgery with Aidar Tolegenovich, having previously consulted with him. Everything went great, the next day I was discharged from the clinic, where the responsive and pleasant medical staff works. She remained under observation for 2 months. It does not hurt anymore. Thank you very much. I wish you long life!
Hello! I suffered from varicose veins in my legs for about 11 years. I was at an appointment at the “Darus” clique, after an examination they told me that my treatment would glue the blood vessels together and would cost me 300 thousand. In “a state of shock, I left them.” My friends recommended Aidar Tulegenovich Parmanov to me. For comparison and to listen to another specialist, I came to see him. I liked him! He listened and looked at me very carefully. He suggested doing an ultrasound of the blood vessels. The next day I did sclerotherapy. After 3 months, my veins went away, my legs don’t hurt like before. A year has passed and I feel relief in my legs. Many thanks to Dr. Aidar Tolegenovich Parmanov for being a sincere and competent vascular surgeon and specialist.
Good afternoon Aidar Tulegenovich operated on me on May 13th. I am 38 years old and for the last 2 years I have been wearing either long dresses or trousers. The right leg was terrible, like that of an old woman of about 90 years old. I have lived with varicose veins since I was 13 years old (consequences of a sprained ligament when practicing ballet in childhood.) There were no special health problems, my legs did not hurt, did not swell, and did not cramp. The discomfort was rather aesthetic, but I was very afraid of the operation. Like many ordinary people, I didn’t know how the human circulatory system works, so I thought that removing an external vein would lead to consequences! It turns out that it's exactly the opposite! Failure to remove a diseased vein leads to consequences! But read about this yourself on the Internet or consult a doctor. So, the operation went great. I spent the day and night in the clinic, and the next day I was already at the party. With the doctor’s permission, of course, and naturally without fanaticism. After the operation, I didn’t lie down for a day! I wore stockings for a month. Not more. It's hot outside. Now I wear it when it’s more or less cool, and always when flying on a plane or traveling by train. It is important! Even if it’s hot on the train, I can endure it! I travel often and move a lot. In everything else - just wonderful. I'm 18 again! I wear short shorts and dresses! Enjoying the life. I move a lot and nothing bothers me anywhere! Hooray! Thanks to Aidar Tulegenovich!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the vascular surgeon Aidar Tulegenovich Parmanov. He actually thanked my legs. Thanks for the operation. God bless you.
In the list of female ailments, the leading position is occupied by varicose veins of the lower extremities. At the first manifestations of the disease, it is important to determine the phase of the disease in time and begin its treatment. It would be useful to pay special attention to traditional medicine, which bring an effective effect when used at home.
Varicose veins on the legs bother the fair sex more than men. The disease often manifests itself during pregnancy, when the enlarging uterus puts pressure on the pelvic veins, causing them to be compressed. The disease is accompanied by the appearance of:
It is necessary to treat varicose veins at any stage of the disease. This can and should be done at home, after first consulting a phlebologist. You should know that varicose veins can lead to serious complications - thrombophlebitis and trophic ulcers. Therefore, it is important to ask yourself how to successfully cure the disease, and what means to use for this. A good addition to official methods of therapy are folk remedies, which, although they require long-term use, have a significant positive effect. Traditional methods are especially effective in combination with physical education aimed at stimulating venous return and eliminating congestion. It is also worth reviewing your diet and lifestyle and reducing excess weight.
Compresses made from overripe tomatoes are popular in folk medicine. Juicy tomatoes are cut into slices, which should be applied to diseased areas. Cover the top of the tomatoes with gauze. The duration of the procedure is at least 4 hours. A compress of cabbage leaves gives an excellent effect - they are sprinkled with water and sent to the refrigerator for a day. Use the leaves before going to bed - they are placed on dry feet and secured with a bandage on top. It is important to perform the procedure every day for 1 month.
A green potato compress is great for vein health. Such potatoes contain a toxic substance that can perfectly cope with pain. Grate the potatoes and heat the mixture to 40 0 . After this, apply the mixture to the sore spot and wrap it with plastic wrap, and cover it with gauze on top. The procedure should last 2 hours.
To treat varicose veins of the lower extremities, you can make compresses from wormwood and sour milk at home. Mix curdled milk with wormwood, ground into powder. Apply the resulting mushy mixture onto gauze and wrap the affected limbs. Leave the compress on all night. The procedure should be performed for 5 days, after which take a break. Then you can repeat the treatment process.
You can prepare garlic ointment, which is also used for a compress. Chop the garlic and add butter to it (1:2). Mix the ingredients thoroughly and apply the mixture to the affected areas on the legs. The compress, which is covered with parchment paper and a warm scarf, must be kept until the morning.
A horse chestnut compress helps relieve pain from varicose veins. Take black bread, cut it into thin slices, grease the top with camphor oil and sprinkle with crushed dried horse chestnut. Apply to the sore leg and cover with a warm scarf. Carry out at least 10 such procedures.
For advanced forms of varicose veins of the lower extremities, burdock or horseradish leaves are an excellent remedy for treatment at home. Wipe the leaves with a napkin, place them against a hot kettle to warm up, and then apply them to the affected areas. To avoid skin irritation, place a cloth or bandage under the leaves. Keep the compress on all night. The duration of therapy should be at least 5 days, with a compress applied every other day.
Honey compresses have an excellent effect. Apply a small layer of honey to the cloth and apply to sore areas. Cover the top of the compress with film and bandage it with a wide strip of fabric. The procedure is designed for 4 days. The first time you need to keep the compress for 2 hours. On the second and third days, the bandage should be kept on for 4 hours. And on the fourth day, the compress is applied overnight. Relief and improvement of the condition will become noticeable after the third procedure.
Means of external influence on diseased veins are supplemented with medications for oral use. These herbal teas and tinctures will strengthen the walls of blood vessels and help thin the blood, which minimizes the risk of blood clots. To successfully treat the disease, the following traditional medicine recipes are used:
Varicose veins can be cured with vegetable juices, which are quickly absorbed and strengthen the walls of blood vessels, preventing the formation of blood clots. The most effective juices are:
You should drink 500 ml of freshly squeezed juices every day. They need to be prepared immediately before consumption, since already 30 minutes after their preparation many beneficial microelements begin to be destroyed. Fresh juices are not suitable for everyone: if you have gastritis, kidney dysfunction, gallstones, diabetes or any chronic disease, you should agree with your doctor on the permissible volume of juice and its composition.
With this disease, you should adhere to a balanced diet. It is imperative to remove fatty foods, sausages, cottage cheese, chocolate, and salt from your diet. You cannot drink alcoholic beverages. Even if you limit yourself to harmful foods for a month and follow your doctor’s recommendations, you can completely forget about previously disturbing symptoms. During the treatment period, it is important to eat more vegetables and fruits; you can make salads by adding dandelion leaves to them. You should more often include buckwheat porridge in your diet, which helps strengthen the vascular walls.
Don't ignore physical exercise. The best exercise for illness: standing on tiptoes and sharply lowering the heels (repeat 30 times in one approach). There should be 5-6 approaches per day. This exercise is especially useful for people who work in offices and are constantly in a sitting position. It is useful to walk and swim.
A blog for those who want to maintain health and appearance, for any age
Varicose veins, or varicose veins (from Latin varix - knot, bloating) -
Every third woman and every tenth man suffer from varicose veins. Most often the disease begins at the age of 30-40 years. The more time a modern person spends sitting at a computer or in a car, the higher the risk of developing varicose veins. The leading countries in terms of the prevalence of varicose veins are the USA, France, Great Britain, Russia, and Ukraine. At the same time, the incidence of varicose veins in African countries and Mongolia is less than 0.1%.
More often, the term “varicose veins” refers to varicose veins of the lower extremities, but in fact veins can expand in any part of the body. There are varicose veins of the stomach and esophagus, pelvic veins (leading to the development of hemorrhoids), testicular and spermatic cord veins (varicocele).
Today we will talk mostly about varicose veins of the lower extremities.
venous blood flow - part of the blood stagnates and stretches the veins, especially the subcutaneous ones. At the same time, the walls of the veins not only expand, but also become thinner.
The first symptoms of varicose veins:
These symptoms decrease or disappear completely with walking and after a night's rest.
The main causes of varicose veins:
Among modern theories of the development of varicose veins, there are also ideas about the phenomenon of leukocyte aggression. According to this theory, at the first stage, leukocytes are activated, after which they infiltrate the inner and middle walls of the vein. Lysosomal enzymes of leukocytes act on collagen fibers, which become thicker and separate into individual threads. As a result, the vein frame loses its integrity. Also, a histological examination of a varicose vein shows a significant increase in fibrous tissue, which not only destroys the elastic membranes of the vein, but also gradually replaces the muscle cells of the vessel.
Important! , autoallergic reactions also occur .
Involvement of the valve apparatus in the pathological process occurs at later stages. The vessels that are located at the base of the valves and feed them become empty, the nutrition of the valves is disrupted, which leads to a loss of their elasticity and, accordingly, to the inability to prevent the reverse flow of blood.
What is the main cause of varicose veins? — Weakness of connective tissue: incompetent valves, weak elastic and collagen fibers of the venous wall itself. This weakness of connective tissue can manifest itself not only in varicose veins (VVs), but also in the form of mitral valve prolapse, prolapse of internal organs, weakness of the intervertebral ligaments, ankle ligaments, prolapsed and herniated intervertebral discs... Analyze your overall health.
Conclusion-1 . It is necessary to strengthen the connective tissue. For this purpose, there are drugs such as glucosamine and chondroitin. We know them better as chondroprotectors, but what is cartilage? -This is also connective tissue. And glucosamine and chondroitin are essentially the “matrix” of any connective tissue. How often should I take these medications? Regularly, at least for 3 months twice a year. NSP Products – Glucosamine, Chondroitin and SC Formula . Chondroitin and SC formula are suitable for long-term use. In light of the theory of leukocyte aggression, it is better not to take Glucosamine from NSP for a long time, because In addition to glucosamine hydrochloride, it also contains cat's claw, which stimulates the immune system. Although in the case of trophic ulcers, the product Cat's Claw from NSP, containing echinacea and astragalus as additional components, shows good results. But, I repeat, not for long-term use.
In addition, connective tissue must be protected from destruction and aging . For this, it is useful to take vitamin C, Grepine with synergist protectors. To reduce the permeability of the venous wall, bioflavonoids, in particular rutin/quercetin, are also useful. Bioflavonoids strengthen the vascular walls and prevent the liquid part of the blood from leaking through the venous walls, causing swelling and a feeling of heaviness in the legs. And also bruises stop forming even from light blows. Bioflavonoids are contained in many NSP products, including the Vitamin C product. A lot - 90 mg of quercetin in 1 capsule - is contained in the Hista Block product.
But the most bioflavonoids are in the specialized product NSP Very-Gon . It includes:
Effect of the product Very-Gon:
Important! With long-term use of Very-Gon, it is necessary to periodically check the indicators of the blood coagulation system.
Olive Leaf Extract also contains a lot of rutin . Olive is a food plant, so you can take this product indefinitely.
I especially draw your attention to the MSM . MSM - methylsulfanylmethane, organic sulfur. MSM strengthens connective tissue, has anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and analgesic effects.
Conclusion-2 . It is necessary to restore the patency of the veins. To improve blood microcirculation, we use preparations based on horse chestnut, gotu kola and ginkgo biloba plants - Very-Gon, Ginkgo Long, Ginkgo/Gotu Kola, Gotu Kola, Mind-Max . Surgeons even have such a term - “vascular recanalization.”
Conclusion-3. It is necessary to relieve hypoxia syndrome. For this we use Chlorophyll Liquid . You can read more about this product here on the blog - http://nspblago.blogspot.com/2016/06/nsp-liquid-chlorophyll-1.html
Conclusion-4. It is necessary to prevent and relieve inflammation. Omega-3 PUFAs . Omega-3 inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators and reduces the risk of blood clots. Products based on butcher's broom, garlic, cayenne pepper, horse chestnut and other plants are also useful - Very Gon, Pepper-Garlic-Parsley, Coenzyme Q10, Hawthorn Plus, Boswellia Plus, Gista Block, Zambrosa ...
It is quite possible to relieve venous insufficiency syndrome and prevent the development of thrombophlebitis and trophic ulcers. And that's a lot actually! This is a completely different quality of life.
Classic vein surgery is contraindicated in late stages of varicose veins, hypertension and coronary heart disease, inflammatory processes in the legs (erysipelas, eczema), severe infectious diseases and in old age.
At the same time, the modern method of treatment using endovenous laser coagulation of veins removes some restrictions, but is not carried out for endarteritis, for example, or atherosclerosis, or chronic ischemic heart disease. In the presence of trophic ulcers it gives good results.
Important! Surgical treatment does not relieve a person of the causes that led to the disease. Therefore, after the operation, it is necessary to remember all the conclusions that we have made for the rest of our lives.
It is also useful to use Ever Flex cream with MSM (see above), which has anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and analgesic effects, and also promotes the synthesis and restoration of connective tissue.
You can either alternate these two creams throughout the day, or apply them as a mixture in equal proportions.
If the skin is extremely dry, which usually happens with varicose veins, you can add Almond-Apricot foot lotion ( Almond-Apricot ) from the Tropical Mists series or aloe vera gel ( Witch-Vera Gel ) from the same series to this mixture. Everything in equal quantities.
From ordinary pharmaceutical products, to enhance the effect, you can add troxevasin gel and hepatothrombin cream/gel (the higher the activity, the better, up to 50,000 IU). Mix in the palm of your hand in equal volumes and apply to varicose veins 2-3 times a day. This should be done especially at the slightest sign of phlebitis (inflammation of the veins) and thrombophlebitis. Phlebitis is usually manifested by tolerable pain along the vein, redness of the vein (if it is a superficial vein), a feeling of heat, and swelling of the surrounding tissues. With acute thrombophlebitis, severe pain is added, which intensifies even from light contact with clothing. This requires immediate consultation with a doctor, as rupture of a blood clot or part of it can be fatal.
In fact, you should consult a doctor in any case, and the sooner the better!
Treatment should be carried out continuously at least in courses of three months with breaks of 1-2-3 months, depending on the condition. At the same time, MSM, Chondroitin, Olive/Hista Block, Osteo Plus, Omega-3, SC-formula, Colostrum (in its pure form) can and should be used for life, especially with a hereditary form of the disease.
Important! With long-term use of Very-Gon, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginkgo/Gotu Kola products, products containing cayenne pepper and garlic, you need to monitor the condition of the blood coagulation system. Especially when combined with Omega-3 PUFAs and vitamins C and E.
Everything that applies to varicose veins of the lower extremities also applies to hemorrhoids, as a variant of varicose veins. AND + CHAIR! The stool should be soft every day, preferably 2-3 times a day. NSP products such as Nature Lax, Cascara Sagrada, Loklo, Digestive Enzymes, Olive, Lecithin/Omega-3 will help with this.

Also, one of the most dangerous complications of varicose veins is ascending thrombosis of the great saphenous vein, which can lead to pulmonary embolism. In 30% of cases this is fatal.
I think this is already clear. Refer to the April 2010 Metabolic Syndrome topic (3 parts) and the question about proper breakfast http://nspblago.blogspot.com/2013/11/blog-post_20.html
Attention! During pregnancy, especially in the second half, do not use Very-Gon. And I repeat - with long-term use of Very-Gon, as well as products containing ginkgo biloba, especially when combined with Omega-3, vitamins E and C, with products containing garlic and cayenne pepper, it is necessary to periodically check the blood coagulation system. A nosebleed that does not stop for a long time, or prolonged bleeding from a slight cut should already alert you.
