  • A phlegoscintic study that allows high precision to analyze and even in the initial phase discovers the varicose expansion of the legs of the legs and adopt timely preventive measures.It is carried out by the introduction of a substance to be coloring for special subcutaneous, such a liquid in Vienna is released on the monitor with a contrasting color;
  • Occlusive platimography;
  • Using the tomographic diagnosis of diseases (magnetic resonance imaging, computerized tomography), it is possible to detect complications that accompany varicose veins;
  • The samples of Bint or harness for the diagnosis of diseases are used as a whole as further of various methods to determine the stadium of the varicose veins.

The decoding of the results of the diagnosis of varicose veins, as a rule, does not take much time.Most of the procedures take 10 to 40 minutes, after which the attending physician is expressed by the diagnosis based on the information received.The diagnosis should be reliable only by an expert doctor from the clinic who can make a clear and unmistakable diagnosis, since treatment in different phases involves methods, treatment principles, drugs, drugs.

The surgical methods for the treatment of varicose veins are ::

Sclerotherapy - Using the procedure, the small vascular stars can be treated, following gluing, the veins are administered integrity.During the procedure, a special sticker is introduced into the ship, which connects the walls with a small degree of damage.After a while, the stars are absorbed, small symptoms of the manifestation are removed, making the legs attractive.The advantage of this method of treatment is the lack of anesthesia and a short period (the procedure lasts 5-15 minutes);

  • Laser coagulation - helps to weld the largest ships subject to damage to the walls.The treatment of local anesthesia is preceded.Then the doctor introduces a lighter in a vein along which a laser beam passes.The radiation heat the venous walls, due to which the ship is welded, the tip point is subsequently completely absorbed;
  • Radiff ablation (coagulation) - The effectiveness of this new method in treatment has already managed to evaluate doctors.The essence of the procedure lies in the action of the high frequency current on the venous walls from the inside, which allows them to glue;
  • Flebectomy: it involves the removal of large vessels, whose walls will no longer return to the state of tone.It refers to the radical methods for the treatment of varicose veins on the legs, in which the veins are removed, along which no more than 10% of the circulatory occurs.The deep veins are reconstructed to an increase in blood volumes.The operation is used for a strong release of subcutaneous veins, nodes and pathologies.

  • Passivity and sedentary lifestyle.The purpose of the veins is to return the blood through the veins from the limbs to the heart and lungs, this is guaranteed by the stable functioning of the valves of the vessels.The varicose veins of the legs occur with stagnation of the blood in the body.Therefore, physical activity is necessary in the framework of the standard;
  • Improper nutrition, the use of harmful foods, since with obesity and overweight, blood pressure increases;
  • Pregnancy, because when the child is managed, the load on the limbs increases, the volume of blood in the circulatory system increases;
