It happens that after childbirth complications arise in the mother's body. During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes serious changes, the consequences of which are the creation of new life and, unfortunately, a number of diseases. Varicose veins of the small pelvis are one of the many possible ones.
The disease develops in 30% of pregnant women, often affects the condition of internal organs after the birth of a child. It happens that the symptoms appear at this time: in the same way, the body reacts to prolonged stress, showing that the condition of the body has deteriorated in the past nine months. The situation is noticeable if the first child was not born or if the birth was complicated.
Some doctors, when asked "how to treat an illness, " shrug their shoulders and ask not to worry. If the pain is constantly disturbed, there is a risk of further complication of the disease, the answer is one: treat!
Symptoms of the disease
Varicose veins of the small pelvis are easily hidden from a person by a host of other diseases that cause constant pain in the abdomen. Periodically, the disease develops in parallel with other pathologies of pregnancy. If you start the treatment on time, the results will surely remain positive.
Patients with varicose veins of the small pelvis have symptoms:
- The constant pain in the back and abdomen intensifies if you stand for a long time without moving. If the focus of painful sensations develops, it gives way in the perineum or lower back;
- Pain in intercourse, lack of orgasm - symptoms and causes of the development of the disease. Often, signs develop in parallel, one must remain attentive and carefully monitor the sensations so as not to miss the disturbing pain. If intercourse is interrupted for contraceptive purposes, the risk of disease is extremely high;
- Vaginal sensitivity is increased;
- In adolescents, the disease rarely develops, proceeds without obvious manifestations. If there is unwarranted discharge from the genitals, it becomes an alarming signal to contact a doctor. Unexplained genital discharge also occurs in adult women;
- Strange reaction of the body to changes in temperature;
- Heavy periods, accompanied by constant pain, premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea;
- Negative response to excessive physical exertion;
- Stagnation of blood in parametric veins;
- Sometimes - difficulty urinating.
Symptoms are not so common in other diseases, often affecting the mass of the pelvic organs. Varicose veins of the uterus and varicose veins of the testis are separate inflammations that have nothing to do with the above reasons. The diagnosis is made by a doctor on the basis of several indicators: symptoms are a factor taken into account, the causes of the disease are specified later.
Remember that patients with varicose veins manifest themselves differently, sometimes not all symptoms are observed in the body. To prove that the diagnosis is correct, doctors use stimulants to test the body's response. A rapid diagnostic facility guarantees fast and painless treatment. It is not necessary to abandon the body, you cannot allow varicose veins to develop with impunity.
Self-healing should not be practiced. Most women are not able to diagnose the disease on their own, without specialized knowledge - you need to see a doctor. Even after reading a lot of articles about the disease, it is easy to ignore the simplest contraindications for each treatment procedure.
Diagnosis: how the diagnosis is confirmed
It is permissible to seek advice in the event of illness from various doctors: a venous phlebologist, a surgeon specializing in the treatment of blood vessels. The doctor will give competent advice, explain the causes of the disease and recommend the necessary treatment.
Before treatment, it is indicated to contact the gynecological department for complaints. In response to the call, the doctor has the right to prescribe a number of studies that will prove or disprove the presence of pathology among the internal organs:
- Phlebography through the uterus;
- Ovaricography;
- Ultrasound;
- Laparoscopy;
- computed tomography.
Each intervention is performed with the consent of the women undergoing treatment. The reasons for the diversity lie in taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the wishes of the woman and, possibly, minor doubts of the attending physician in the diagnosis.
Processing
If varicose veins of the small pelvis are diagnosed in a pregnant girl, sparing treatment is often prescribed. Includes wearing of special medical clothing. The woman in labor does not take drugs, the effect of drugs on the fetus has not been studied. It is better not to risk it and get rid of the disease only after pregnancy. Healing tights remain essential until complete healing.
The main rule of treatment is the normalization of the patient's lifestyle: it is impossible to stay in an upright position for a long time, work, including physical exertion, should be normalized. Exercises for pelvic varicose veins are not disputed, being preventative in nature. Appointed by a doctor. The main action is to unload the body: exercises like "birch", "scissors", "bicycle" and others are used. Even breathing exercises are useful, which normalizes the work of a tired body, returning the vessels to their previous state. A daily contrast shower in the perineal region is recommended.
The reasons for the development of varicose veins affect the general condition of internal organs, even if the symptoms do not demonstrate a similar condition. During treatment, the diet will need to be normalized, giving up such bad habits as alcohol and smoking, it is not necessary to talk about drugs. It is recommended to increase the consumption of vegetable products, certainly also of fresh vegetable oil. It is beneficial for the blood vessels which need nutrients. It is useful to consume more products containing or producing collagen, entering the body: the substance has a positive effect on the connective tissues of the vessels, restoring and giving the former its flexibility.
If conservative treatment methods do not help, you need to resort to surgical intervention. The operation is performed in an area where there is a strong stagnation of blood. The doctor will make sure that the venous parameters are in good condition and functioning normally.
What happens if varicose veins are left untreated
Diseases that lead to the consequences of the disease can not be called deadly and terrible. However, it is unacceptable to sit idly by for the disease to progress. It should be remembered that when there is no treatment, the internal organs suffer. If varicose veins are diagnosed, the myometrium of the uterus is affected, creating many difficulties for the body with the flow of blood.
Researchers distinguish three degrees of development of varicose veins:
- The vein increases to 5 millimeters, the type and course of the vessels are corkscrew;
- The vein increases to 6-10 millimeters, the appearance of loose ecstasy of the ovarian plexus, damage to the parametric veins and the veins of the arcuate plexus of the uterus is possible;
- The vein increases by more than 10 millimeters, the varicose veins of the small pelvis finally take on a total appearance, or the venous parameters are affected.
Treatment varies depending on the stage of development. In severe cases, even surgery is possible. In the first and second stages of the course of the disease, conservative methods of treating blood vessels are used, acting on the causes of organ damage and exterminating the disease. Apply venotonics (increase vascular tone), exercise therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the first symptoms already appear, you need to see a doctor so that it does not get worse later. Most women try not to pay attention to varicose veins in the small pelvis, while treatment does not require much effort.
It is forbidden to start the treatment on your own. Varicose veins of the small pelvis is not a fatal disease, but the violation of the rules threatens serious complications.
