To understand the situation and understand whether it is possible to do without surgery, then we will give indications for surgery for varicose veins:
- The deformed subcutaneous veins due to the prolonged development of the pathology;
- Symptoms of venous circulatory disorders (persistent swelling of the distal parts of the lower extremities, increased fatigue and a feeling of gravity) in combination with dilated subcutaneous veins and without them;
- trophic changes in soft tissues of the lower leg (often its interior);
- Some forms of thrombophlebitis.

- Hypertension decompensation;
- ischemic disease in a exacerbation stage;
- skin lesions in the exacerbation stage: dermatitis, eczema, etc.;
- pregnancy in all its terms;

- Extremely neglected stage of vascular pathology.
All surgical treatment methods, including Small's invasive operation to eliminate varicose veins, have their own characteristics.In this sense, the list of testimonies and contraindications that the elimination of varicose veins in the legs with the selected surgical shape can be changed can be changed both towards the increase and in the direction of the decrease.Only a doctor can objectively determine which is better and if it is worth performing an operation for varicose veins to eliminate the veins in the leg, that the disease continues to affect more and more.
Varicose veins in the legs: types of operations
When the doctor is diagnosed with varicose veins and can no longer dispense with surgical intervention, the specialist considers several types of IT.The suitability of each possible operation is correlated for varicose veins in each patient individually, taking into account the characteristics of the course of the disease.
What operations do operations for varicose veins?The treatment of varicose veins is rapidly carried out through several main methods: stuck (sclerosis), dressing (crucetomy) and elimination (phlebectomy) affected by veins pathologies.
What is an operation to remove varicose veins on the legs?To carry out each of the previous treatment methods, different tools and technologies are used: sclerosantia, ozone, laser breeding, etc.At the same time, other questions arise, which is better?For example, an operation that implies the mechanical elimination of one vein in the leg or paste it with a laser?
Opinion of the expert
The procedure in which the laser is used is minimal.It does not require patient hospitalization.She is characterized by a low postoperative risk of complications, however, he still exists.In addition, the procedure is expensive and not all those with varicose veins can pay such treatment.In any case, the doctor will decide which operation will decide which operation will decide, determining which methods of their behavior are more appropriate for the situation and condition of the patient.

In cases where an operation in the veins is assigned, it is necessary to submit to the preliminary preparation process according to certain requirements.What does he include?To perform the operation, regardless of whether the method to remove the veins with a laser or a phlebectomy is chosen, a series of tests must pass:
- General clinical tests of urine and blood;
- coagulogram or hemostasiogram to evaluate the coagulation system;
- Blood analysis for AIDS, HIV, Hepatitis B and C;
- Analysis for a blood group and RH-Convcrete;
- Biochemical blood analysis.
In addition to approving tests, the preparation for the operation includes exams such as:
- fluorography;
- electrocardiogram.
After the patient approves the tests, and the necessary exams will be submitted, it will be necessary to reach a conclusion of the therapist.If, in accordance with the results of the tests, no deviations were revealed and the results of the exams will not be found in the exacerbation stage, the patient will receive a conclusion about the possibility of surgery for the varicose veins of the veins of the lower extremities.In the opposite case, surgery can be canceled or postponed, due to the fact that to obtain a conclusion of the therapist, a second approval of analysis will be required and/or additional exams and consultations of several specialists will be required.
How to prepare for surgical intervention on the day of surgery?
At least 7 hours before, it is necessary to refuse to eat.
Take a hygienic shower.If the varicose veins hit the veins of both lower extremities, then it will be necessary to eliminate the hair line from both legs, starting with the inguinal fold.The surgical treatment will be performed after examining the patient by an anesthetist.

Operation: Possible consequences
After the question of whether the operation is necessary for varicose veins, it is not worth it, because it is done, the recovery period occurs.The patient must be ready for the fact that this period can eclipse the possible consequences of surgical intervention.
What are they?These can be temporary and completely explained complications caused by violations of skin integrity and subcutaneous manipulations.These include seal, hematoma, pain, lymphorea, bruises, edema and others.After the operation, during which the veins were removed on the legs, mistakes could be made.And it is possible that they lead to adverse consequences, among which numbness due to the damage to the nerve endings, the infection, a skin burn, etc.In addition, the consequences can be caused by the individual characteristics of the patient and how the operation was underway.
Opinion of the expert
Before and after the operation to eliminate varicose veins, each patient will be informed about how to act in case of complications.So, for example, if a large bruise is formed, prone to suppuration, or when the leg is unbearably injured and there is hyperthermia, then you must immediately communicate with a specialist to avoid deterioration in the condition.It may be necessary to prescribe medications or physiotherapeutic treatment.

After surgery to eliminate varicose veins by phlebectomy, the patient is issued a disease license from 14 days.In case of complications, it can be extended.As statistics show, if the veins were eliminated with a laser or other minimally invasive methods, then the risk of complications is lower.The disease license is not issued with such surgical intervention, but if the limb hurts and the negative consequences still manifested, then the restoration can take some time, for whose period, at the discretion of the doctor, a disease license is issued.
Recovery after surgery to eliminate varicose veins in the leg
Any operation is stress for the body.The varicose veins exposed to surgical intervention is no exception.So that the legs of the legs of the legs are not repeated, as well as to avoid possible complications, it is necessary to restore the functions of the circulatory system and the entire organism.And will help the patient in this rehabilitation period.
Of course, how the rehabilitation period will occur not only on how diligent and executive it is the patient.Much depends on the original state of the operated.If the patient had varicose veins of the second stage and laser coagulation was performed, then the restrictions after the procedure performed will be less compared to the patient who performed a surgical operation with the physical extraction of the veins in the advanced stage of the disease, loaded by complications.
But in one way or another, for all those who have been made in varicose veins, there are general recommendations.
And since, after the operation of eliminating varicose veins in the legs, many questions about what and when it is possible and what is impossible, in our article we will talk about it.
Restoration or rehabilitation after the operation to eliminate the veins includes a set of measures that will be directed to the maximum confrontation between thrombosis and the normalization of blood circulation.When the veins affected by the pathology are already excluded from the blood flow, the condition of the operated will improve daily.After all, varicose veins no longer progress.To contribute to the rapid return to the usual lifestyle of the patient, a strict observance of all the doctor's recommendations in the postoperative period is required.What can and cannot be done after the operation to eliminate the varicose veins of the lower extremities are performed.
After the operation: What can be done and cannot be done?
To successfully restore surgery in the veins of the lower extremities, the majority of patients are recommended to use an elastic bandage or compression products: stockings, stockings, golfs.
At the end of the surgical procedure, you must literally begin to avoid venous stagnation and the formation of blood clots.
Therapeutic gymnastics is also extremely important.The morning load or other general physical stress during the day must necessarily contain exercises to restore blood circulation, eliminate the threat of stagnant processes, promote the regeneration of the tissue and so that the swelling does not occur.Is it possible to stretch in general, is not contraindicated in sports?Sport after surgery to eliminate varicose veins in the legs is necessary!There are certain "but" that should not be neglected due to the record of:
- You cannot perform exercises with the maximum load in the lower extremities;
- The intensity of the load must focus on a greater number of approaches than on its speed and complexity;
- exclude shock and feet power loads;
- Select sports shoes correctly;
- Sports are carried out under the control of the instructor.
Given the above, it is important to keep in mind that aerobic and intensive functioning is prohibited after surgery for varicose veins.Give preference to swimming, sports walking, aguamental, cycling, etc.
The proper behavior of food is extremely important for the normal functioning of any person's body, and mainly operated.Therefore, all adequate eating habits will make the restoration faster, maintain weight in the necessary values and strengthen the vessels.Perhaps specialists can be assigned a corresponding diet that will include products with a high content of nutrients and vitamins, and excludes salt, spices, gas drinks, sweets, strong tea, coffee and alcohol.Regardless of how surgical intervention was carried out, after a laser operation to eliminate varicose veins on the legs or after any other, smoking must be abandoned.It serves as one of the most common causes of the development of all vascular diseases, including varicose veins.
Opinion of the expert
Are a large number of patients interested in whether the sauna and the bathroom are harmful?Keep in mind that visiting a sauna is strictly prohibited.And the doctor individually determines the ability to visit the bathroom.Much depends on when to eliminate seams after the operation, if it was carried out using cuts.Until the healing of the skin, you cannot visit exactly the bathroom.Then, six months later, the doctor can allow visiting the bathroom.

Make an operation and have the fact that varicose veins will be removed forever without their participation recklessly.Only daily efforts, overcoming and taking prevention measures can create favorable conditions for this.Therefore, every day they take care of the health of their legs and blood vessels.Follow the doctor's recommendations, take hiking, actively pass your free time, make a contrast shower and a self -standing for your feet.
Varicose veins and operations: "pros and cons"
Of course, there are always doubts about whether it is necessary to perform surgery for varicose veins?But independently considering the surgical treatment of the varicose veins of the lower extremities in the context of "in favor or against" it is not worth it.Only a doctor, after having studied the history of the patient's disease, collecting an anamnesis of the disease, having become familiar with the results of the corresponding tests and studies, can definitely answer the question of whether the operation of the varicose veins and why.
The causes of doubts may be in the same prevalence of the disease.After all, a specialist will never give a 100% guarantee of the cure of the pathology.The risk of relapse of the disease will persist a lifetime.
Opinion of the expert
Some surgical manipulations give a more persistent and long effect, others less.Everything is individual.Do not forget that doing the operation is just one of the first steps on the road to healing.To prevent varicose veins from progressing, a person needs to make efforts daily for this.And far away, patients carry out all the recommendations received from the doctor after the operation and, therefore, varicose veins are recurring.

Many patients, having learned that they will have to do the operation, believe that the consequences, namely, the complications are inevitable.For this series of patients, this serves as an additional reason to doubt whether to do the operation or not.After the operation to remove the veins on the legs, the rehabilitation period can be associated with certain complications.But again, it depends a lot on the quality of surgical treatment, the individual characteristics of the patient's body and how specialists' instructions are observed.Therefore, it is not necessary to project a negative development of events in advance, as well as doubt whether it is necessary to perform an operation for varicose veins or not.
For a precise diagnosis, communicate with a specialist.
