In addition to aesthetic discomfort, the disease delivers other inconveniences: the limbs quickly swell, ache when walking and the skin on them becomes dry and inelastic. Varicose veins require early treatment; otherwise, the process will move to new veins and cause more and more discomfort to the patient.
Sclerotherapy – treatment of varicose veins
In our clinic, surgeons use sclerotherapy as a method of treatment. The task of sclerotherapy is the restoration or complete cessation of blood flow through the affected vein. All interventions are performed in the clinic.
- The doctor performs skin marking on the veins, takes photographs before the operation and treats the area with an antiseptic.
- A solution of sclerosant, a substance that turns off the vein from the bloodstream, is injected into a vein. It loses its rich blue color and is no longer visible under the skin.
As a result, saphenous veins are not visible; pain and swelling of the extremities are reduced. In some cases, you may need 2-3 sessions to complete treatment.
Indications and contraindications to the procedure
The main indication for the treatment of varicose veins is the presence of varicose veins, which cause aesthetic or physical (pain, swelling) discomfort.
In pathologically changed veins, form blood clots. They can break away from the vessel wall and spread with the blood flow to other organs. This is the main reason for the occurrence of conditions such as myocardial infarction, stroke or pulmonary thromboembolism. Timely referral to a specialist is the best prevention of these conditions.
Each method of treatment of varicose veins has its own contraindications. Medical tactics are selected only after consultation with the phlebologist.
Rehabilitation period and aftercare
During the recovery period, it is necessary to carry out the following recommendations:
- perform elastic compression of the legs with a bandage or special stockings;
- take drugs prescribed by a doctor (antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, phlebotonics);
- conduct physical therapy;
- avoid heavy physical exertion, taking baths and saunas for 3-4 weeks after the procedure
You can begin to walk actively from the second day after sclerotherapy.
