HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE ONSET OF VARICOSE VEINS?

Varicose disease, which affects millions of people in Turkey, is one of the most critical consequences of sedentary life with a genetic predisposition. So how does the heir manifest himself at the very beginning? Turkey Medicals member and hospital Vascular and Endovascular head of the department, Turkish Professor Doctor answered the curious questions about this common disease and gave important information about vascular health.

.
WHAT ARE THE FIRST SIGNS OF VARICOSE VEINS?

The first signs of the onset of varicose veins are; pain when standing for a long time, swelling, the presence of small capillaries in the ankle and calf in the part visible from the outside. If these swellings and pains are relieved by keeping your foot up and extending it in a sitting position, you have varicose veins problem. Do not skip these symptoms and definitely see a cardiovascular surgeon. Especially if this disease has been observed in the family, you should be constantly on the alert for varicose veins.

.
DOES VARICOSE DISEASE PASS?

There are two systems of varicose veins – internal and external. 50 percent of them are treatable. But the struggle of mankind against gravity continues. Whether you are suffering from varicose veins or not, we definitely recommend varicose socks for this fight. You can take this precaution if you will be standing or standing still for a long time. In addition, our patients who have undergone surgery postpone wearing varicose stockings afterwards. However, we strongly recommend it. Because the process of varicose veins formation and expansion continues in the veins that you are not treating. Varicose socks prevent the increase of pressure on the legs that are in a stationary state, prevent the formation of varicose veins again.

.
IS LASER THERAPY DANGEROUS?

I mainly do cardiac surgery. If you have had laser surgery, it cannot be used for a possible by-pass surgery in the future because the veins are damaged due to laser treatment, and this is a big problem. But this is a misconception. Although these veins have not been treated with a laser, they cannot be used, they are now a diseased vein. If you use it, it will also clog very quickly. In addition, we have many more alternatives for by-pass than leg veins. Therefore, the motto ”do not make a laser, we need these veins” is wrong.

.
SHOULD EVERY VARICOSE PATIENT HAVE SURGERY?

No, it shouldn’t. A person aged 65-70 who can maintain his life with varicose stockings is not in the risk group. But if you are young, active and have aesthetic concerns, surgery makes your life quite easy.

.
IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARICOSE VEINS AND CELLULITE?

There is actually no relationship between these two tours.

.
IS THERE A SUITABLE HERBAL TREATMENT?

In addition to the precautions you take with varicose socks and a busy life, we know that horse chestnut extract also contributes to the treatment of venous insufficiency. Patients need to get information about this from Turkey hospital doctors.

.
IS THERE A SPECIAL RECOMMENDATION FOR A PREGNANT VARICOSE PATIENT?

Because the fetus is in the abdomen, the pressure in the abdomen increases and there is swelling in the foot. We recommend pregnant varicose socks to these people. Because a clot that can form during pregnancy can trigger many problems.

.
VASCULAR HEALTH AND DEMENTIA DISEASES

In addition to the problems caused by the heart and lungs, problems in the vascular system can cause blockage of capillaries in the brain due to stiffness, dementia diseases along with forgetfulness. At the same time, dementia diseases can also trigger the formation of clots due to inactivity. Vascular health is very important for the health of all organs. For this, I recommend controlled weight gain, movement and plenty of water consumption to everyone.
