Symptoms of varicose veins

summary

Varicose veins commonly known as "fried tendon legs" is the most common disease of the venous system. The main reason for the formation of varicose veins is that the congenital vascular wall membrane is relatively weak or the same posture is maintained for a long time with little change, blood accumulates in the lower limbs, and the venous valve is destroyed over time, resulting in high venous pressure, which is a symptom of vascular protruding from the skin surface. Varicose veins mostly occur in the lower limbs, other scrotum, spermatic cord, abdominal vein, gastric esophageal vein and so on will also occur varicose veins.

Symptoms of varicose veins

Venous thrombosis: some patients can form thrombosis in the superficial veins of varicose veins, manifested as local swelling and pain, hard mass formation, pain affecting walking. If not treated in time, thrombus may spread upward or through the communicating vein to the deep vein, causing deep vein thrombosis and life-threatening risk of pulmonary embolism. In patients with long-term varicose veins, the wall of varicose veins is weak, the venous pressure is high, and the local blood supply is insufficient, causing atrophy of muscle and adipose tissue. The varicose veins protrude in the subcutaneous. Slight injury will lead to ulceration, and easy to damage the wall of veins.

Bleeding, ulcer: leg varicose vein through the area of the skin due to inadequate nutrition, is very fragile, slight trauma, it is easy to lead to varicose vein rupture, resulting in massive bleeding. Because there is no pain and other symptoms when bleeding, patients often do not notice it. If it occurs at night, it will lead to very serious consequences.

Venous injury: in patients with long-term varicose veins, the wall of varicose veins is weak, the venous pressure is high, and the local blood supply is insufficient, which causes atrophy of muscle and adipose tissue. The varicose veins protrude in the subcutaneous. Slight injury will lead to ulceration, and it is easy to damage the wall of varicose veins.

matters needing attention

Edema, skin pigmentation: due to venous reflux, patients often present light in the morning and heavy in the evening limb edema. The long-term venous hypertension leads to the increase of capillary permeability in the leg, the rupture of red blood cells after exudation, and the deposition of heme in the subcutaneous, which makes the skin black and develop from dot to sheet.
