1, the surface blood vessels like earthworms varicose, obviously protrude from the skin varicose in the shape of a mass or nodule. This is the most common symptom of varicose veins.
2, the symptoms of varicose veins also have ascites, hepatosplenomegaly; varicose veins patients will have vomiting blood, black stool; extensive edema of both lower limbs pain in the affected limbs, intensified when moving, sometimes pain at rest, aggravated at night.
3, the limbs have a strange feeling, limb chill, limb hot flashes, varicose veins patients affected limbs become thinner, thicker skin has a series of symptoms of varicose veins such as pins and needles, strange itching, numbness, burning sensation.
4, legs have soreness and swelling, varicose veins patients have heavy skin pigmentation at night and light skin in the morning, dark skin flaking, itching, ankles have edema. These symptoms of varicose veins are also more common.
5.There may be slight swelling at the ankle or knee in the evening.
6.Cramps, leg cramps, such as calf cramps while sleeping.
7, varicose veins performance symptoms in the early stage without obvious changes, some varicose veins patients often feel the affected limbs heavy, swelling, easy fatigue, can be relieved after rest.
8.The superficial veins of the calves of varicose vein patients are gradually bulging and expanding, and sometimes the symptoms of varicose vein can be curled into clusters or capsules, especially obvious after standing, and disappear after lifting the legs, these symptoms of varicose vein can be felt by ourselves.
9, varicose veins of long duration, the performance symptoms of varicose veins have pigmentation, itching and eczema on the lower leg and ankle skin. Some patients with varicose veins can be complicated by thrombophlebitis, and the symptoms of local varicose veins are red, swollen, hard and painful.
Severity: varicose vein stages
Stage I: capillary dilation and reticular vein dilation, strictly speaking they are not real varicose veins, they only affect the aesthetics and can be left untreated.
Second stage: superficial veins with curved and thickened veins are visible in the legs in standing position and higher than the skin, which can disappear after the legs are elevated or lying down, often with discomfort such as soreness and swelling of the calves and easy fatigue, and this stage is the best period for treatment.
Stage 3: The varicose blood vessels increase and edema starts to appear in the lower leg, which is more obvious after standing for a long time or exertion, and the edema can subside in the morning. The affected leg is often thicker than the opposite leg, and some patients also have itchy skin, and in serious cases, skin lesions such as eczema and stasis dermatitis.
Stage IV: Excessive blood stasis in the blood vessels and a significant increase in venous pressure cause part of the blood components to infiltrate into the skin and subcutaneous tissues outside the blood vessels, resulting in local skin reddening, turning purple until black, and losing elasticity and becoming hard.
Stage V: Acute ulcer stage, the blackened and hardened skin breaks down under the action of external force, which is difficult to heal itself and seriously affects work and life.
Stage 6: the middle and late stage of ulcers, commonly found near the ankle joint and the lower part of the calf, commonly known as “old rotten leg”.
Symptoms of testicular varicose vein
Varicocele is a manifestation of varicocele, which is a soft, trailing or worm-like varicose vein above the testicle. How should varicose veins in the testicles be treated? Some patients may experience more pronounced symptoms such as a feeling of scrotal cramping or swelling, which may be accompanied by pain and swelling in the perineum, lower abdomen or lower back. The symptoms are more pronounced after standing for a long time or walking and straining, and are relieved after lying down and resting. So, how to cure varicose veins? Mild varicose veins of testicles are not obvious in appearance, and the varicose veins are found only when the breath is closed and the abdominal pressure is increased by holding the breath. In severe varicose veins, the varicose veins can be seen on the skin surface of the scrotum.
The severity of the varicose veins is often inconsistent with the severity of the symptoms, and mild varicose veins can cause more pronounced symptoms. A small number of patients may have symptoms of neurological deficit. On examination, one side of the scrotum is distended in the standing position and the testicles are drooping, mostly on the left side. The obvious testicular varicose veins are visible to the naked eye or can be felt as piles of worm-like varicose veins, which can disappear completely or shrink significantly when the scrotum is propped up in the horizontal position and fill up again when standing.
Symptoms of varicocele
Varicocele is a common disease in young adults, which refers to the dilatation, tortuosity and elongation of the vasculature of the seminiferous plexus (plexus of veins) due to the stagnation of blood flow in the spermatic cord. The incidence is 10-15% in the male population and 15-20% in male infertility. The disease occurs mostly on the left side, but bilateral onset is not uncommon and can be as high as about 20%. Varicocele, which can be accompanied by testicular atrophy and impaired sperm production, can cause male infertility. Varicocele can also be caused by kidney tumors or other retroperitoneal tumors. Varicocele due to compression is called symptomatic or secondary varicocele. Varicose veins do not require treatment until they cause clinical symptoms in the patient or cause male infertility.
Varicose veins symptoms can be detected by.
1.Clinical manifestations
Varicose veins of the lower extremities appear as progressively aggravated superficial venous dilatation, bulging and tortuosity in the lower extremities, especially in the inner calves. Small saphenous varicose veins lesions are mainly located in the lateral calf. In the early stage of the disease, the patient has a feeling of soreness and swelling in the lower limbs. At the same time, there is heaviness and weakness of the limbs and mild edema. The sensation is aggravated after standing for a long time or in the afternoon, while it is significantly reduced after lying down or limb treatment, and sometimes it can be accompanied by calf muscle spasm. In some patients, there is no obvious discomfort. If the disease is longer, skin trophic changes may appear in the calf, especially in the stomping shaw, including skin atrophy, desquamation, pigmentation, skin and subcutaneous tissue sclerosis, eczema and refractory ulcers, sometimes complicated by thrombophlebitis and acute lymphangitis.
2.Superficial venous valve function test
Supine position, pick up the lower limbs to make the veins empty. A tourniquet is placed under the groin to compress the saphenous vein. The patient is asked to stand and if varicose veins appear from top to bottom within 10 seconds after releasing the tourniquet, it indicates saphenous vein valve insufficiency. In the same principle, a tourniquet tied at the pharyngeal fossa can detect the function of the small saphenous valve.
3.Deep vein patency test
Take standing position, put a tourniquet under the groin to compress the saphenous vein, wait for the vein to fill, and then kick or stir more than 10 times, if the filled varicose vein is obviously reduced or disappeared, it indicates that the deep vein is open; otherwise, there may be deep vein obstruction.
4.Penetrating venous valve function test
The patient lies on his back, picks up the lower limb, ties the tourniquet under the groin, wraps the first elastic bandage from the toe up to the cell fossa first, then wraps the second elastic bandage from the tourniquet down. The patient is instructed to stand and unwind the first bandage while continuing to wrap the second bandage downward. If a varicose vein appears in the gap between the two bandages, it suggests a dysfunctional penetrating vein.
5.Color Doppler ultrasound and phlebography etc.
The nature, location, extent and degree of lesions can be more accurately determined.
Clinically, varicocele can be divided into three degrees.
Degree 1 (mild): varicose veins cannot be seen protruding from the scrotal skin when standing, but the varicose veins can be felt in the scrotum, and the varicose veins disappear quickly when lying down.
Degree 2 (moderate): dilated veins can be seen on the scrotum when standing, and more obvious varicose veins can be felt in the scrotum, and the mass gradually disappears when lying down.
Degree 3 (severe): There are obvious thick blood vessels on the surface of the scrotum, and there are obvious worm-like dilated veins in the scrotum, and the walls of the veins are thickened and hardened; they disappear slowly when lying down.
Varicocele can cause progressive impairment of testicular function and reduced fertility in some patients from puberty onwards, but this impairment only becomes apparent if their partner’s fertility is also reduced.
Varicocele can sometimes affect fertility. Nine percent of people with varicocele have infertility, and 39 percent of male infertility is caused by varicocele. In severe cases, it can cause testicular atrophy. The cause is an increase in temperature in the scrotum on the affected side that is reflected to the opposite side, causing degeneration and atrophy of the spermatogonia and a decrease in the number of spermatozoa. Although it has not been medically proven that body size is related to varicocele, it may be due to the right-angle shape of the spermatic vein returning to the left renal vein, which affects blood flow.
Although it has not been medically proven that body size is related to varicocele, it may be because the spermatic vein flows back to the left renal vein in a right-angle shape, which affects the blood flow.
Stages of development.
Stage 1: capillary dilatation and reticular vein dilatation, which affects the aesthetics.
Stage 2: superficial veins with curved and thickened veins are visible in the legs in the standing position, which are higher than the skin and can disappear after the legs are raised or lying down, often with discomfort such as sore and swollen calves and easy fatigue.
Stage 3: The varicose blood vessels increase and edema starts to appear in the lower leg, which is more obvious after standing for a long time or exertion, and the edema can subside in the morning. The affected limb is often thicker than the opposite leg, and some patients also have itchy skin, and serious cases present eczema, depressive dermatitis and other skin lesions.
Stage 4: Excessive blood stagnation in the blood vessels and a significant increase in venous pressure cause part of the blood components to penetrate into the skin and subcutaneous tissue outside the blood vessels, resulting in local skin reddening, turning purple until black (iron deposition in the blood), and losing elasticity and hardening.
Stage 5: The acute ulcer stage, the blackened and hardened skin breaks under the action of external force, which is difficult to heal itself and seriously affects work and life.
Stage 6: Recurrent venous ulcers without proper treatment, commonly found near the ankle joint and the lower part of the calf, commonly known as “old rotten leg”.
Hazards of varicose veins.
Edema: This is a specific manifestation of the danger of varicose veins, as the veins do not flow well and blood accumulates together, causing edema on the surface of the skin.
Bleeding on the legs: This is one of the more serious consequences of varicose veins, the veins cannot flow well due to the accumulation of blood, and over time, edema clots are evident, however, the venous valves are damaged, the venous blood pressure is too high, the valves rupture, and bleeding occurs, which is painful for the patient.
If it comes to ulcers: This obviously suffers from varicose veins for quite a long time, and after a long time, without treatment, the skin surface pigmentation is dark, heavy, stiff, without hygiene, eczema and other infectious diseases, there will be ulcers, which should be treated in time.
Venous thrombosis: It is predicted to be able to harm other parts of the body. Some people can’t treat well in the above three symptoms will lead to the formation of venous thrombosis, which is usually manifested as unbearable local pain, skin swelling, and normal walking are affected.
Due to the congenital weakness of blood vessel wall membrane or long time maintaining the same posture with little change, blood accumulates in the lower limbs and destroys the venous valves over time to produce high venous pressure, which is the symptom of blood vessels protruding from the skin surface, varicose veins mostly occur in the lower limbs.
Chinese medicine believes that the formation of varicose veins has the following five main reasons.
1, the liver and kidney deficiency deficiency of the liver and kidney or indiscriminate intercourse, depletion of kidney essence, essence does not produce blood, the liver and kidney deficiency of the tendons and veins are not nourished, and excessive work, injury to the tendons and veins, the development of the disease.
2, cold and damp stagnation, external cold and damp or addicted to cold and cold or after intercourse to endure cold and damp, stagnation of the liver and veins, and veins and veins loss of harmony, tendons and veins loss of nourishment and cause this disease.
3, dampness and heat blockage, dampness and heat in the body or eating fat and sweet, brewing dampness and heat, dampness and heat blockage in the liver and veins, and the veins and veins lost harmony for this disease.
4, blood stasis obstruction, emotional and emotional disorders, liver stagnation, stagnation and stagnation of blood, stagnation of blood blocking the meridians or strong weight lifting, long-distance travel or ** trauma resulting in damage to the meridians, liver stagnation for the disease.
5, Qi deficiency, weakness, deficiency of Qi or diet, damage to the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach Qi deficiency, no blood transport loss in the lifting and regulating the development of the disease.
Varicose veins can be cured with Miao medicine live vein san, which is quite good, no matter what, it is still recommended to pay some attention with people usually.
Mild varicose veins symptoms relief solutions.
1, often leg massage, two hands were placed on both sides of the calf, from the ankle to the knee, rubbing calf muscles to help venous blood flow back.
2, simple squatting exercise can not only exercise the muscles, but also very good for the joints. Both can effectively prevent varicose veins and calf cramps and other symptoms, but also to promote blood circulation and enhance physical fitness. Don’t look at the squatting action is very simple, do it but there are certain instructions, otherwise it will be the opposite.
3, lying down to rest, raise the legs, above the level of the heart, and maintain the knee bend, adhere to about 15 minutes. To promote blood circulation in the legs and relieve the symptoms of varicose veins in the lower limbs.
4.Before going to bed, you can do special vein exercises, lift your lower limbs, keep the palms of your feet parallel to your body, and then let your legs and feet shake gently. When sleeping, it is best to take the left side of the bed, because lying on the left side can avoid compression to the abdominal inferior vena cava and reduce the pressure on the veins of both legs, and it is recommended that a pillow can be used to lean against and raise the varicose lower limbs at an angle of 30-40 degrees.
5, weight or long-term standing workers, available elastic bandage leg binding, leg binding when the first leg and foot cushion, with elastic bandage will be tied to the lower leg, can prevent the lower limb veins stasis expansion. When tying, should be tied from the ankle upwards, and try to tie a little tighter. If you have conditions, you can wear varicose veins special health care elastic stockings.
6, adhere to fast walking four times a day, each time 15 minutes, can effectively relieve the symptoms. Because when walking fast, the movement of gastrocnemius muscle increases and the activity is constant, the veins are like pumping the blood accumulated in the veins in varicose state towards the heart. At the same time, because the local microcirculation speed up, make the varicose vein metabolism also speed up, the vein also can restore normal faster.
7, when standing for a long time do not always use two legs together to support the weight of the whole body, can be focused, so that the two legs rotate rest, often on tiptoe, so that the heel together with a drop activity, or often squatting exercises. The above actions can cause strong contraction of calf muscles to reduce venous blood accumulation.
