Vascular disorders may involve arteries, veins, or both, and may only be functional or permanently damage these vessels.
Of the functional changes, it is the most common congestive capillaropathy of the hands, occurs in asthenic young women and manifests itself as a bluish backs of the hands. Reticular cyanosis is also common on the lower extremities.
Of the numerous arterial blood supply disorders, they are the most common changes in the background of arteriosclerosis or diabetes. As a result, blood flow to a restricted area of the skin may be blocked and necrosis and difficult-to-heal ulcers may develop. Drugs that improve blood circulation play a decisive role in treatment.
Most often, skin lesions are the result of varicose veins and related inflammation of the veins and blood clots. The susceptibility to varicose veins can be familial, standing work, numerous pregnancies, obesity and surgeries, especially in the abdominal cavity, are also favorable factors. The most important thing is to take preventive action. For this purpose, it is worth using appropriate cosmetics, eg Vegan chestnut emulsion with pennywort to strengthen blood vessels.
The first signs of venous insufficiency are the feeling of “heavy legs”, cramps and swelling, then the dilated veins are highlighted through the skin, gradually, with an increasingly tortuous course. Periodically, there may be a painful thickening and infiltration in the course of varicose veins, sometimes associated with an increase in temperature. Finally, trophic changes occur on the skin (discoloration, thinning of the skin, breakdown changes with the formation of hard-to-heal ulcers).
Complication may be ulcerative hemorrhage, erysipelas, or varicose eczema.
Prevention
You should take into account: fighting obesity, recommendation to walk, because the work of the limb muscles has a positive effect on the venous flow, fighting flat feet, or wearing elastic stockings selected after careful medical measurements. Resting with the legs in a horizontal position is also beneficial, and even placing small blocks at one end of the bed or couch, which will facilitate the outflow of venous blood from the limbs.
Prophylactically in cardiovascular diseases, use the hawthorn flower, from which you can make tea. We also recommend the natural supplement Bergamil Forte Xenico, produced on the basis of bergamot and garlic extract. If you want to improve the functioning of your cardiovascular system, you can also reach for the Lymph Formula – Panaseus dietary supplement available at a promotional price on Medonet Market.
Treatment
Treatment of inflammatory and thrombotic changes requires immobilization of the patient and constant medical care. Varicose ulcer requires in the first stage cleansing of necrosis (baths, compresses or powders), then the use of agents stimulating the production of new tissue (powders, special dressings, less often ointments) and epithelialization. The main therapeutic factor is the improvement of the venous circulation and general vascular medications.
It is worth using appropriate cosmetics that soothe inflammation, seal blood vessels and stimulate skin microcirculation. This type of cosmetics includes, among others B-RESPECT Sensilis soothing night cream, which you can buy on Medonet Market. We also recommend Arnica Gel for dilated capillaries, bruises, bruises, swellings FLOSLEK, which not only reduces the visibility of changes, but also supports skin regeneration. It is also worth trying the Serum for blood vessels Red Syndrome FEEDSKIN, which is currently available at a promotional price.
