Blood vessels are vital components of circulatory systems in all humans. Any malfunction may have a far reaching effect and must therefore be addressed in time and effectively. Some diseases affecting these vessels are acute while others are chronic. Whichever the case, all require adequate care as a way of preserving quality and healthy living. For this reason, let us consider varicose vein treatment as part of venous care for quality life.
There are two main conditions affecting veins. These include varicose veins and spider veins. Of these two, varicose veins are the most troubling one and often lead to health care attention. Some clients seek medical attention to correct what they perceive as loss of beauty while others are driven by health worries and concerns. Whichever the case, health professionals competently address these concerns using available options of care.
One form of treatment that is commonly adopted is endothermic ablation. It is intended to close affected vessels thereby occluding them. This prevents any further flow of blood through them and allows such vessels to disintegrate with time. This may take the form of radiofrequency ablation or endoveous laser treatment. The goal in each case is to seal off affected vessels and promote patient comfort.
Option two involves application of sclerotherapy. A chemical substance is directly injected into affected structures. This chemical is in the form of foam and causes scaring and eventual loss of function in target vessels. All persons who have a positive history of deep vein thrombosis must not undergo this procedure. It tends to cause recurrence of the same after procedure.
A third option involves surgery. A surgical procedure may always be necessary in cases where above options are not suitable. It is done under general anesthesia. This procedure entails ligation and stripping off parts of vein affected. Two minor incisions are carried out at the ends of identified venous structure; a thin flexible sterile piece of wire is then passed through the identified structure to aid in stripping it off. Minor complications as bruising are common but major complications like nerve injury are rare.
A more recent approach in treatment is phlebectomy. In this case, a source of illumination is needed so as to visualize underlying tissues for effective intervention. Once target tissues are identified, they are selectively digested and suctioned thereby eliminating them. This is followed by some prophylactic medication to prevent infection after the procedure. In a few days, one becomes fit and healthy without distressing signs and symptoms of venous disease.
Another recommended management for this condition is the use of compression stockings. These stockings are specially designed to compress or squeeze calf muscles and surrounding structures. This way, blood flow back to heart is promoted so as to avoid blood stasis and its related distress.
Early and timely care is essential. All persons should seek care before it is too late and too expensive to control an underlying health condition.
