Do minor varicose veins need treatment? What happens without treatment? I believe that many patients will ask such questions, they think that varicose veins in the early stage is not a big disease, no pain, no itching, it is not on the heart, in fact, varicose veins in the early treatment effect is good. If delayed, the disease may worsen, leading to some serious complications.
What are the symptoms of mild varicose veins?
1. Dilation of leg blood vessels: the skin of the affected limb appears red or blue, distorted blood vessels like spider webs or earthworms, and abnormal expansion and swelling of veins occur.
2, surface varices: veins are obviously protruded from the skin, varices are clumpy or nodular, there are also patients who only have a few centimeters of varices, this is the better treatment period, you can not be hospitalized, in a short time can be easily cured.
3, the lower extremities appear abnormal feeling: if the varicose blood vessels are not treated, the varicose veins continue to develop, after a long time standing for a long time or walking a long way, there will be leg swelling, desquamation, pain, itching, easy cramps and other symptoms. Especially after working all day, the symptoms are more obvious at night.
4. Darkening of leg skin: increased skin temperature, pain and pressure, skin pigmentation, dark color, slight edema of ankle.
Varicose veins if not treated in time, the disease will develop to the later stage of the harm caused to patients is very great, the following specific to analyze.
1. Bleeding. The skin of the area through which varicose veins pass is very fragile due to insufficient nutrition. If you are not careful, it can easily lead to the rupture of varicose veins and cause massive bleeding. Because bleeding is often not accompanied by pain and other symptoms, patients are often unaware, if it occurs at night while sleeping, it will lead to very serious consequences.
2. Edema. Due to venous regurgitation, patients often present with edema of the affected limb in the morning and late.
3. Venous thrombosis. Some patients can form thrombus in the superficial veins of varicose, which is manifested as local red swelling pain, hard lump formation, and pain affecting walking. If left untreated, the clot has the potential to spread up or through the traffic vein to the deep vein, causing deep vein thrombosis and the risk of life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
4. Ulcers. The most common consequence of varicose veins is that varicose veins cause changes in skin nutrition leading to ulcers, which can be long-lasting, local odor and pus, which can have a serious impact on daily life.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have a certain understanding, hope that patients with varicose veins should be treated in time, many people think that mild varicose symptoms are not obvious, and do not cause other discomfort, so do not need treatment, this view is wrong, varicose veins the biggest harm is caused by the ulcer of the affected limb, plus, If not treated in time, varicose veins may aggravate the condition, leading to moderate and severe varicose veins, and may also cause other inflammation, resulting in prolonged inflammation, which affects the normal activities of patients.
