Varicose veins are a pathological process in which the veins are damaged with a further increase in the diameter of the lumen and thinning of the venous wall. The process is accompanied by the formation of local aneurysm-like extensions, called "nodes". The most common variant of the disease is varicose veins of the lower limbs, which today affects one in three women and every tenth men. Such varicose veins have two types: internal and reticular (venous network). The disease begins, as a rule, at the working age - up to forty. Also, the longer a person leads a sedentary lifestyle, the greater the risk of developing varicose veins.
In addition to the pathology of the lower extremities, there is an expansion of the veins of the esophagus and stomach, small pelvis, spermatic cord and testicles (varicocele). Sometimes varicose veins are found on the face, in the form of varicose veins. Enlargement of the veins of the uterus is a rather rare phenomenon, but still ongoing. The disease is difficult to diagnose due to the absence of specific symptoms.
Treating the disease in any of its manifestations is not only important, but also vital. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious complications, including thrombophlebitis. Official medicine offers many methods of dealing with the problem: sclerotherapy, drugs, special physical education and wearing the medical shirt. In advanced cases, surgery is possible. Supporters of unconventional medicine argue that the treatment of varicose veins with folk remedies gives an equally positive result.
