Self-medication for varicose veins is the most popular method of treatment. The internet is full of wonderful recipes on apple cider vinegar, leeches and other magical technologies, and our fellow citizens readily believe it. Varicose veins can now be cured inexpensively or even free of charge by certified specialists, but miracle shamans are still very successful. These are probably vestiges of the primitive community system of our ancestors. Only pain can make a person run after a doctor, we will diligently smear uncomplicated varicose veins with various unpleasant things in the hope that one day they will resolve themselves.
Cure for varicose veins
The vast majority of people, choosing between surgical treatment of any disease (in our case, with varicose veins) and possible non-invasive treatment, whether it is capsules, tablets for varicose veins, gels, ointments, herbs and infusions, will choose the latter, especially if all the screens will be broadcast to them on their effectiveness and the uselessness of any operation. The amount of information for narcotic patients can be judged by the number of advertisements for pills and creams for varicose veins on all federal channels, where happy girls easily run after coating their healthy legs with a miracle cream ortook miracle pills.
Are the representatives of pharmaceutical companies and various traditional healers so honest and how effective are all these wonder drugs?
The goal of drug therapy for venous disease is to reduce symptoms and prevent complications, but achieving these goals is not easy. Today, the abundance of applicable tools poses another problem: which one to choose? However, almost all remedies for varicose veins, even with a high rating, are not sufficiently effective, despite the theoretically justified expediency of its use. There are many reasons for this, the main one being the low absorption of medicinal substances from these drugs by the body. The ideal drugs for varicose veins should work on all pathogenic links of chronic venous insufficiency, have minimal side effects and have high absorption by the body. Quite a number of phlebotropic drugs are represented in the modern pharmaceutical market. However, the medicinal substances and the active substance they contain are similar (plant flavonoids - diosmin) and therefore the effectiveness of one or the other depends only on the concentration and assimilation of the active substance. The most popular are tablets against varicose veins and capsules: diosmin, rutoside, gels like troxevasin, etc.
As practice shows, if you drink these pills for varicose veins, neither varicose veins, trophic ulcers, nor spider veins will go away, especially so you should not expect the varicose lymph nodes themselves to go away. of these phlebotonics, however, the lightness in the legs, a decrease in edema and the disappearance of nocturnal cramps may be.
List of popular drugs for the treatment of varicose veins with low efficacy:
- Diosmin;
- Rutoside;
- Troxevasin.
Do gels, decoctions, tablets and ointments help against varicose veins?
It is much easier and cheaper to take a pill, take infusions or smear inflamed veins, but such effective miracle cures have not yet been invented, and the long-term results testify to it, but theself-hypnosis can work wonders. It is up to you to decide if you want to throw the money away. Selling drugs for varicose veins in the legs has become a profitable business for pharmaceutical companies, as varicose veins are a very common disease.
Remedies for varicose veins are always of interest to the suggested patients, and since the veins from the initial period of the disease do not bother, patients are afraid of any surgical treatment. Pharmaceutical companies spend huge sums of money convincing people and even doctors that without their pills is best for varicose veins. The Servier company has been particularly successful in organizing conferences and "research", buying renowned phlebologists in order to gain their authority to increase sales of their pills.
There are also folk remedies for "getting rid" of varicose veins:
Soda, mummy, iodine, peroxide, soap, clay, onions, cabbage, propolis and other remedies for varicose veins in the most miraculous way can get rid of varicose veins, fillets, as well as kidney and gallstones, tumors and gangrene. Ordinary people believe in this nonsense, not understanding the causes or consequences of the disease. Thousands of internet posts about magic pills and varicose veins remedies in the legs are confusing patients' heads.
So what to do and take with varicose veins?
Before usually suggesting that you contact our center, we will tell you about some really effective methods that may well facilitate the progression of the disease.
In this section, we suggest to forget about the terribly effective pills that "help" with varicose veins and remember the traditional and proven methods.
Massage and bath for varicose veins
Massage, unlike many cheap advertising phlebotonics, is a method of active treatment of varicose veins, helping to prevent edema, even eliminate puffiness, lower limb fatigue and reducegeneral fatigue of the body.
The Innovative Vascular Center uses all types of modern massages, especially for pathologies of the lymphatic and venous systems. Among the exclusive methods - the technology of lymphatic drainage massage with bandage, which very effectively relieves chronic venous insufficiency.
In chronic venous insufficiency, massage is used to eliminate venous hypertension in varicose veins and post-thrombotic syndrome. The combination of this technology with cerclage allows you to effectively eliminate all clinical manifestations of the disease.
Therapeutic massage is a very effective remedy for the symptomatic treatment of varicose veins in the legs, but it only provides temporary relief. We use manual lymphatic drainage in patients with severe edema in patients with lympho-venous insufficiency. There is no need to be afraid of "tearing blood clots" with such treatment, but in case of exacerbation, it should not be used.
But the bath is quite another matter: with varicose veins, thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities or post-thrombotic disease, it is very dangerous. Any heat stress can cause blood clots to form in the deep veins, carried away by the blood flow, with all the consequences that follow. Dehydration in the bath causes the blood to "thicken". Don't put yourself at unnecessary risk. Varicose veins in the bath will not go away and thrombophlebitis may well occur.
Creams and gels for varicose veins
Despite the high effectiveness promoted by sellers and manufacturers, creams and gels do not relieve varicose veins, and dilated veins do not go away from them. At the initial stage of venous insufficiency, the doctors making the appointment do not strongly object to the use of these so-called "phlebotropic" agents, because their friction acts like a light massage and promotes venous flow, andhas a sedative effect on the skin and vascular walls. With advanced forms of venous insufficiency, these creams and ointments can cause dermatitis and allergies, so they are very harmful. Heparin drugs are used in the development of acute thrombophlebitis and help calm the inflammatory process, but varicose veins do not go away. Shamanic products have received great popularity, thanks to the correct advertising with beautiful female legs, among people, however, they have nothing to do with drugs, women and even leeches, and there is noreason to expect from them. And also, regardless of the price, rating or name known, no drop will bring results, although absolutely all reviews speak of the drops as the best and cheapest drugs in the world, phlebotonics, of which 100% of patients are cured. The best solution would be to contact a good attending physician who will prescribe a complete minimally invasive or medicated treatment and correct your lifestyle.
Effective drugs for the prevention of thrombosis with varicose veins
A common complication of varicose veins of the lower extremities is thrombophlebitis, especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Low molecular weight heparin is a drug proven to prevent vascular thrombi. For the prevention of thrombophlebitis after the treatment of varicose veins, our clinic uses Xarelto or Prodax tablets. The duration of treatment with pills is 7 days after the laser or radiofrequency procedure.
Rather, this article is written as a warning to people who are fed up with reading personalized reviews: "I recently bought inexpensive pills like pentoxifylline, was treated for two days, 1 pill a day, andevery day it just gets better - the stars on my legs are gone, so is my fatigue, also noted anti-inflammatory effects and hair growth. I recommend to all women, remember the name - pentoxifylline - for such a price there is no better pill to be found "otherwise waste your energy, time and money using drug lists sociallyaccepted with low or unproven efficacy. The list of tablets against varicose veins of the legs increases every year, but their active ingredients remain the same. These are diosmin, rutoside, heparin and a few others. Only the names aremodified to increase sales Carefully read the composition of these drugs.
It is better to come to a phlebologist, then he, as a specialist with higher medical training, will conduct a comprehensive examination and prescribe adequate treatment, including drug treatment (the best tablets for disgusting varicose veins), but still thethe most effective remedy for varicose veins will be laser coagulation.
Remember that the best remedy for any disease and even for varicose veins is an active and healthy lifestyle. Therapeutic exercises, walks in the fresh air strengthen the venous wall better than any pill. The correct mode of work and rest, the use of an elevated position to relieve tension in the legs, swimming in the sea and in the pool - these measures are the best preventive and curative means. Do not assume that if the packaging of the tablets says "made from grape leaves" then they are no longer chemical preparations. Why poison yourself with ineffective drugs, if it is impossible to remove varicose veins with their help.
