During his life, a person walks on average about 100 km! Therefore, it is not surprising that with age we increasingly feel discomfort and pulling pains in the legs, cramps and soreness when walking. But do not worry: modern medicine allows you to quickly and effectively cope with this ailment, says surgeon-phlebologist Denis Vladimirovich Yurechko.
Denis Vladimirovich Yurechko, surgeon-phlebologist of the clinic “No varicose veins” (Krasnodar)
– Denis Vladimirovich, according to statistics, almost 70% of people suffer from varicose veins …
– Yes, that’s absolutely true. Most often, women have problems with veins – almost 60%, and about 40% of men. Overweight people, pregnant women and those with a genetic predisposition are most susceptible to this disease. The health of the veins is also influenced by the lifestyle: uncomfortable shoes with heels, heavy loads on the legs, flat feet, etc.
– What symptoms should be alarming?
– I must say that the manifestations of varicose veins depend on the stage of the disease. At the initial stage, the patient may be disturbed by the heaviness and fatigue in the legs, the vascular mesh appears on the skin. The more neglected the disease, the more painful its manifestation: convulsions appear, when walking, severe pain is felt, venous nodes and ulcers appear. The sooner the patient turns to a specialist, the faster and easier the treatment will be. Otherwise, varicose veins can lead to serious complications.
– Tell us about modern methods of treating varicose veins.
– Our clinic specializes in the treatment of varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema by non-traumatic methods using an endovosal laser. This allows operations to be performed without general anesthesia, as safely and quickly as possible. The procedure takes 20 to 60 minutes. There is practically no rehabilitation period. If the patient follows simple recommendations (do not lift a weight for several days, wear compression stockings), then after the procedure he can go home or even go to work the next day.
But of course, the operation is preceded by a thorough examination and diagnosis. Consultation with a phlebologist, ultrasound of the vessels of both legs (if necessary, and additional examination methods), tests, diagnosis, laser procedure – all this can be done in one place.
– Do I need to undergo a preventive examination by a phlebologist if, for example, a vascular mesh appears on the legs?
– Spider veins do not always mean that surgery is required. They can remain a cosmetic defect, or they can be a sign of varicose veins.
Therefore, we always recommend that the patient undergo an ultrasound scan. The fact is that without this study, it is not always possible to identify varicose veins. External manifestations and symptoms may be absent. By the way, examination of a phlebologist together with an ultrasound scan takes no more than 30 minutes.
