Varicose veins on the legs: treatment with folk remedies

Reasons for

Varicose veins of the lower extremities often leadto thrombophlebitis( formation of thrombi on the walls of veins).The disease often develops in the mnogogorozhavshih and in pregnant( as the fruit presses on the vessels of the pelvis, making it difficult for the blood to circulate in the legs).

The development of varicose veins in the legs is greatly facilitated by the difficulty of the outflow of blood due to prolonged standing on the legs, wearing gums or garters that impair blood circulation, heavy physical work, etc.

Symptoms and signs

In the initial stages, the development of varicose veins does not cause severe anxiety to patients. Bilateral expansion of veins occurs in at least half the cases, with a one-sided process, the left limb is more often affected. Expanded veins are clearly detected during examination and palpation in the form of straight or twisted cords. A common symptom is the edema of the lower parts of the lower leg at the end of the day.

Subjective complaints are unstable and, as a rule, appear much later;they are reduced to fatigue of the feet and blunt lomising pains. These sensations are more pronounced during standing than during movement, and disappear in a prone position. Often, patients complain of cramps in the calf muscles. Often there are trophic disorders affecting the distal parts of the limb: pigmentation disorders, atrophy and dry skin, dermatitis, eczema, erosion, varicose ulcers, bleeding when the varicose veins rupture. When palpation is often found, densification and expansion of veins far beyond their apparent damage.

With varicose veins, patients usually complain of pain along the veins or in the entire limb when walking. The enlarged veins are visible through the skin in the form of sinuous cords or knots. In the process of developing the disease in these places, dark brown or brown spots appear on the skin.

And, as we have already said, the disease is often manifested by edema of the lower limbs, which appear at the end of the day.
