What is Varicose Vein?

It is a disease characterized by the prominence of veins and swelling in the legs due to the slowing of blood flow due to the expansion of veins. Varicose veins seen on the skin do not cause any significant problems other than aesthetic problems. Varicose veins in larger veins located deeper down cause swelling in the limbs and the formation of blood clots in the vein. The ejection of these blood clots into the circulation can cause vital problems such as stroke and serious respiratory distress.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

It occurs as a result of deterioration in the elastic structure of the vein and the function of the valves that prevent blood from returning to the heart, such as being overweight and standing too much. In addition, toxic loads accumulated in the connective tissue and hormonal imbalances are also important predisposing factors. In addition, surgeries and diseases in the abdominal region that create imbalances in the autonomic nervous system that keep the veins at a certain diameter can also increase the formation of varicose veins.

How is it diagnosed?

A definitive diagnosis can be made with Doppler ultrasonography in people with typical symptoms.

How is it Treated?

In addition to conservative treatments such as varicose stockings, drugs that increase vascular tension, and weight loss, sclerosing treatments and surgical treatments are applied to the varicose veins in advanced cases.

From a regulatory medicine perspective, in addition to these treatments, neural therapy makes a significant contribution to the treatment of predisposing factors. It can provide clear contributions by regulating the nerve impulses going to the veins, especially in patients who have had diseases or surgical procedures in the abdominal region.

In addition, a good detox program, regulation of nutrition, adequate fluid intake and micronutrient supplements are important to eliminate connective tissue toxins and acid load.
