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 aneurysm-like local extensions, called "nodes". The most common variant of the disease is varicose veins of the lower extremities, which today affects every third woman and every tenth man. Such varicose veins have two types - internal and reticular (venous mesh). The disease starts, as a rule, at the working age - up to forty years. Moreover, the more time a person leads a sedentary lifestyle, the more likely 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 spider veins. Enlargement of the veins of the uterus is a rather rare, but still occurring phenomenon. 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, taking medications, special physical education and wearing medical jersey. In advanced cases, surgical intervention is possible. Proponents of unconventional medicine argue that the treatment of varicose veins with folk remedies gives an equally successful result.
