There is a belief that varicose veins are considered a female disease.
However, over the years, more than 55% of patients have visited our clinic.Men do not care about aesthetics: they are not afraid of spider veins or severely swollen veins, which is why many patients still put off going to the doctor until "later".
This can be explained by the fact that varicose veins appear weak in the beginning, and stronger sexual behavior often gives the disease a chance to take advantage.Over time, the disease causes more discomfort: heaviness and pain in the legs, swollen veins, blood clots, and ulcers.Concomitant venous disease also occurs, the treatment of which is surgery.
Treatment of varicose veins
How and how long each patient's varicose veins are treated depends on the level of neglect, examination, and health status.
initial stage
Lower limb hardware massage— Compression therapy (also called intermittent air pressure therapy or hardware lymphatic drainage for the treatment of varicose veins).Beauticians use the device to select the best individually recommended regimen for patients at specific stages and indications of the disease.The device applies waves of pressure (alternating high and low) to the patient's legs, forcing blood and lymph to actively circulate through the affected tissue.The session lasted approximately 40 minutes.This surgery can be performed at any age, whether male or female.You can return to your daily activities immediately after the course.
Sclerotherapy.Varicose veins can be treated without surgery.The injected medicine sticks the walls of the tube together.The procedure is painless.After the surgery, you must wear special textiles and walk for an hour.The surgery is performed without anesthesia.The injection leaves no scar.
Compression sweatshirts (socks, tights and stockings).Select individually.Anti-varicose vein bras are similar in appearance to classic bras, but without seams.The fabric is composed of nylon, microfiber and Lycra.The fabric is breathable and comfortable to the touch.For more information and advice on selection, see the article - Compression socks: how to choose, pressure levels, sizing.
at advanced stage
Laser coagulation.The light guide is inserted into the affected blood vessel using a single puncture, without the need for an incision.With welding, radiation occurs in the damaged area.The laser heats the affected vessel walls and varicose structures, closing the varicose vessels.The procedure does not require hospitalization.After surgery, patients can go home independently.
Venectomy.Varicose veins are removed by puncture.This technique is used to remove suprafascial tributaries of any diameter.Use local anesthesia.The essence of the method is to use special hooks to remove and remove varicose veins from individual 1-2 mm punctures in the skin.The vein is not ligated, no suturing is required for puncture, and hemostasis is achieved through elastic compression.After a few months, post-surgery skin scars are almost invisible.
Varicose vein compression garments
Men are advised to wear individually selected compression garments during the early stages of treatment and after treatment.Anti-varicose vein bras are similar in appearance to classic bras, but without seams.The fabric is composed of nylon, microfiber and Lycra.The fabric is breathable and comfortable to the touch.
Men's compression jerseys are divided into:
- stockings for varicose veins in the thighs;
- Wear tight clothing if legs are affected;
- If the condition occurs in the calves or above the knees, wear knee-high socks.
You need to buy underwear at the first sign of illness.
Tips for wearing compression stockings:
- Put on your underwear carefully to avoid tearing the product.
- File your fingernails and toenails to avoid tearing your underwear.
- Just apply it in the morning without waiting for swelling.
- Take off your compression garment before going to bed.
- If an overweight patient has difficulty donning a compression garment on his or her own, purchasing a wearing device is recommended.
- Wash clothes in warm water with baby soap.To prevent water from getting on the silicone, tighten the upper part with thread and clean the elastic with a cotton pad dipped in alcohol.
