It happens that after childbirth, complications occur in the mother's body. During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes serious changes, the result of which is the creation of new life and, unfortunately, in some diseases. Small pelvic varicose veins are one of many possibilities.
The disease develops in 30% of pregnant women, often affecting the condition of internal organs after the birth of a child. It happens that symptoms appear at this time: in the same way, the body responds to prolonged stress, indicating that the condition of the body has deteriorated over the past nine months. The situation is noticeable if not the first child is born or the birth is complicated.
Some doctors, when asked "how to treat a disease", shrug their shoulders and ask not to worry. If the pain is constantly interrupted, there is a risk of further complications of the disease, the answer is one: to treat!
Symptoms of the disease
Small pelvic varicose veins are easily hidden from a person by various other diseases that cause constant pain in the abdomen. Periodically, the disease develops in parallel with other pathologies of pregnancy. If you start treatment on time, the results will definitely remain positive.
Patients with small pelvic varicose veins have symptoms:
- Persistent pain in the back and abdomen worsens if you stand for a long time without moving. If the focus of the painful sensation grows, it gives in the perineum or lower back;
- Pain during intercourse, lack of orgasm - symptoms and causes of disease development. Often, the symptoms develop in parallel, you need to remain attentive and carefully monitor the sensations so as not to miss the bothersome pain. If sexual intercourse is interrupted for contraceptive purposes, the risk of disease is very high;
- Vaginal sensitivity is increased;
- In adolescents, the disease rarely develops, persists without obvious manifestations. If there is an improper discharge from the genitals, this becomes an alarming signal to contact a doctor. Unexplained genital discharge also occurs in adult women;
- The body's strange reaction to temperature changes;
- Heavy menstruation, accompanied by persistent pain, premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea;
- Negative reactions to excessive physical exertion;
- Blood stasis in parametric veins;
- Sometimes - difficulty urinating.
Symptoms are less common in other diseases, often affecting the mass of the pelvic organs. Uterine varicose veins and testicular varicose veins are separate inflammations that have nothing to do with the above causes. Diagnosis is made by a doctor based on several indications: symptoms are a factor taken into account, the cause of the disease is explained later.
Remember, patients with varicose veins present themselves differently, sometimes not all symptoms are observed in the body. To prove the diagnosis is correct, doctors use stimulants to test the body’s response. The timely installation of a diagnosis guarantees quick and painless treatment. No need to leave the body, you can not allow varicose veins to grow arbitrarily.
Self -healing cannot be practiced. Most women can not diagnose the disease themselves, without special knowledge - you need to go to the doctor. Even after reading many articles about the disease, it is easy to ignore the simplest contraindications that exist on every treatment procedure.
Diagnosis: how the diagnosis is confirmed
It is permissible to seek advice on the disease from different doctors: venous phlebologists, surgeons who specialize in the treatment of blood vessels. The doctor will give efficient advice, explain the cause of the disease and recommend the necessary treatment.
Before treatment, it is indicated to contact the gynecology department with a complaint. In response to the appeal, the doctor has the right to prescribe a number of studies that will prove or deny the presence of pathology among the internal organs:
- Phlebography through the uterus;
- Ovaricography;
- Ultrasound;
- Laparoscopy;
- CT scan.
Each procedure was performed with the consent of the woman undergoing treatment. The reasons for the diversity lie in taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the desires of women and, perhaps, the small doubts of the physician present in the diagnosis.
Treatment
If small pelvic varicose veins are diagnosed in a pregnant girl, sparing treatment is often prescribed. Includes wearing special medical clothing. Women who give birth do not take the drug, the effect of the drug on the fetus has not been studied. It is better not to take risks and get rid of the disease only after pregnancy. Permanent healing tights must be worn until complete recovery.
The main rule of treatment is the normalization of the patient's lifestyle: it is impossible to remain in an upright position for a long time, work, especially involving physical effort, should be normalized. Exercise for pelvic varicose veins is not disputed, as it is preventative in nature. Appointed by a doctor. The main action is to unload the body: exercises such as "birch", "scissors", "bicycle" and others are used. Even useful breathing exercises, which normalize the work of the tired body, return the vessel to its previous state. Daily contrast baths in the perineum area are recommended.
The causes of the development of varicose veins affect the general condition of the internal organs, although the symptoms do not indicate a similar condition. During treatment, the diet should be normalized, abandon bad habits such as alcohol and smoking, no need to talk about drugs. It is recommended to increase the consumption of vegetable products, of course also fresh, vegetable oils. It is beneficial for blood vessels that need nutrients. It is useful to take more products that include or produce collagen, entering the body: the substance has a positive effect on the connective tissue of vessels, restores and gives the container flexibility.
If conservative treatment methods do not help, you will need to use surgical intervention. Surgery is performed in areas where there is strong blood stasis. The doctor will make sure that the venous parameters are in good condition and functioning normally.
What happens if varicose veins are not treated
Diseases that bring about the consequences of illness cannot be called deadly and devastating. However, it is unacceptable to sit with arms folded so that the disease progresses. We must not forget that when there is no treatment, the internal organs suffer. If varicose veins are diagnosed, the uterine myometrium is affected, creating many difficulties for the body with blood outflow.
Researchers distinguish three stages of varicose vein development:
- The veins increase to 5 millimeters, the type and travel of the vessel is corkscrew;
- Veins increase to 6-10 millimeters, the occurrence of loose ecstasy of the ovarian plexus, damage to the parametric veins and arcuate plexus veins of the uterus are possible;
- Veins increase by more than 10 millimeters, small pelvic varicose veins are finally fully visible, or venous parameters are affected.
Treatment varies depending on the stage of development. In severe cases, surgery can also be performed. In the first and second stages of the disease course, conservative methods of treating blood vessels are used, acting on the cause of organ damage, destroying the disease. Apply venotonic (improves vascular tone), exercise therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the first symptoms have already appeared, you need to see a doctor so that it does not get worse later. Most women try not to pay attention to small pelvic varicose veins, meanwhile, treatment does not require much effort.
It is forbidden to start treatment on your own. Small pelvic varicose veins are not a fatal disease, but a violation of the rules threatens with serious complications.
