Treatment methods conventional
In the treatment of varicose veins may apply to unconventional methods. Here are a few examples.
Potato juice

All these methods are excellent ways of prevention of this disease and have a good help in the treatment of varicose veins at the beginning of the disease. However, the practice shows that in 80% of cases, the person with those of the veins is aimed at doctors already running disease. In such a situation, or a compression garment, or the creams and ointments, or the remedies may not, however, affect the development of the disease. Drastic measures are needed. The benefit of modern medicine is ready to provide efficient methods for the resolution of this complex issue.
Sclerotherapy
It is a non-surgical method of struggle with varicose veins, during which the doctor, using a fine needle, inserted into the vein of the special substance. This type of compound glue comes from inside, after which it dissolves, and the blood circulation starts to move through the veins. The number of sessions introduction sclerosant may vary depending on the severity of the lesions. And throughout the treatment, the patient must wear a compression garment.
Following such a treatment, a person almost always forget about the varicose veins. Only 25% of cases are relapses, and connected, they are usually done by the disease. But it is interesting to understand that sclerotherapy is not performed to pregnant women and people suffering from obesity.
The laser treatment
This is one of the breakthroughs in medicine, which allows you to get rid of varicose veins without surgery. The radiation that generates the laser "welds" the vein from the inside, thereby closing off the light and cutting the way for the movement of the blood that starts to go to the deeper veins. With the time glued to a container formed of connective tissue, which is reabsorbed by the following.
This solution is more effective than sclerotherapy. It is less traumatic, the operation takes no more than 40 minutes, and the patient can leave the clinic literally at the end of 2 hours after the operation. It is not surprising that the same treatment of varicose veins laser called "office surgery". When this incisions on the skin it is necessary to make only when the resolution of the large veins, while small varicose veins are removed without damaging tissues. It is worth remembering that the cost of such an operation is quite high.
Radiofrequency ablation
More recently, in our country began to practise the most modern of the method of resolution affected by the veins, which has received the name of the radiofrequency ablation. It applies to the treatment of trunk veins affected by varicose veins. In this case, through a skin puncture in the vein to introduce the catheter radio frequency energy, which with the aid of micro-wave "breaststroke" comes from inside. And the catheter includes sensors which allow to monitor the effectiveness of the procedures.
This method cannot compete with the salaries lasers, in fact, it does not require any incisions on the skin, leaves no bruises and is literally in 30 minutes. The day of the operation the patient can return to his duties. However, the cost of such procedure is high, even in comparison with the laser coagulation.
The surgical removal of the
It is important to understand that, in the case of eczema, thrombophlebitis, and ulcers trophic, the above treatment methods is not carried out. Eliminate started of varicose veins, you can only surgical removal of the vein. However, everything here is not as critical. In the arsenal of the modern surgeons are the micro surgical techniques, to remove the sick in vienna by a small incision, and the scars after the procedure just not working. Similarly, the new technologies make it possible to remove painful vienna literally for 30-40 minutes.
Fear of varicose veins is not necessary. Quite to the contrary, the disease requires attention to the self, and the sooner the better. The rapid detection and correct treatment method not allow problems to eliminate the disease and live a full life.
