How many types of varicose veins are there?
It is the distinction made according to the diameters of thick varices (Large varicose veins), medium varices (Medium varicose veins) and thin varices (small varicose veins).
MINOR HEROES
These are '' capillary varicose veins' is also called. Their diameter can be up to 2-3 mm
This type of complaints are mostly noticed by patients at the onset of varicose veins. They draw attention visually. Capillary varicose veins are fed from nearby and larger diameter veins (feeding vein).
They are frequently seen on the legs and face. Small capillaries multiply over time, starting from neighboring regions. It spreads more quickly if you stand or sit a lot professionally (inactivity and crossing your legs). They are more common in the back of the legs above the knee and in the front below the knee.
Small varicose veins: capillaries '' blue '' or '' red '' they appear in color. The reason for this is the difference between veins and arteries, that is, the amount of oxygen they carry. Red ones are more stubborn. They do not cause pain. Pain is due to other vein problems in the legs. Therefore, ultrasound should be performed on people who are deemed necessary. Sun house are the factors that increase the standing. Let's talk about the sun. It's risky if you're out all day in shorts or lying in the beach or solarium for a long time to get a tan. But if you are a working person, the time you spend outside has a low chance of harming you in this regard.
The treatment is first sclerotherapy and/or thermocoagulation or laser therapy because of its small diameter. Sclerotherapy is not very effective as the diameter gets smaller. Nd Yag laser and thermocoagulation method, which has been more useful in recent years, are used.
MEDIUM DIAMETERAL VARICES
Reticular varicose veins are used for this type of varicose veins. It is called '' or '' venulectasis ''. They are 3-10 mm in diameter. Blue can also be seen, with the colors green being more common.
LARGE DIAMETER VARICES
They are varicose veins that start at 0.5 mm in diameter and sometimes enlarge up to 3 cm.
It is a serious condition that causes both appearance and significant complaints in patients. It takes years to develop. The onset of such heirs may exceed 20 years. It is common in standing people such as teachers.
This type of varicose causes swelling in the legs, as well as discoloration on the ankle (staining brown, black) and even varicose bleeding and varicose ulcers (ulcer). In this case, the patient should be checked with ultrasound whether there is a problem in the deep vein system.
If the deep system is normal, EVA (endovenous ablation) is the first method to be considered for the patient. Even this method may be insufficient if the diameter of the vein in the groin is too wide. In this case, it may be necessary to apply classical surgery. If appropriate, this is done. Simultaneously, in enlarged veins in other regions, we call them “packe” and should be removed. If not, things get messy. Treatment should be applied for insufficiency in the deep system. If you have such varicose veins, I suggest you see a doctor immediately.
