It happens that after birth, complications occur in the mother's body. During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes serious changes, resulting in the creation of a new life and, unfortunately, a number of diseases. Varicose veins of the small pelvis are one of the most likely.
The disease develops in 30% of pregnant women, often affecting the condition of the internal organs after childbirth. It so happens that the symptoms appear at the moment: similarly, the body responds to prolonged stress, indicating that the body's condition has worsened over the past nine months. The situation is noticeable if the first child is not born or the birth is complicated.
Some doctors shrug their shoulders at the question of "how to treat the disease" and ask not to worry. If the pain is constant, there is a risk of further aggravation of the disease, the answer is one: to treat!
Symptoms of the disease
Varicose veins of the small pelvis are easily hidden from a person by many 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 varicose veins of the small pelvis have symptoms:
- Persistent pain in the lower back and abdomen increases when standing on one's feet without moving for a long time. If the focus of painful sensations increases, it gives in the perineum or lower back;
- Pain during sexual intercourse, lack of orgasm - symptoms and causes of the disease. Often the symptoms develop in parallel, you need to be careful not to miss the pain that is bothering you and watch your feelings carefully. If sexual intercourse is stopped for contraceptive purposes, the risk of disease is very high;
- Vaginal sensitivity increases;
- In adolescents, the disease rarely develops, and continues without obvious manifestations. If there is an unreasonable discharge from the genitals, it is an alarming signal to see a doctor. Unexplained genital discharge also occurs in adult women;
- Strange reaction of the body to changes in temperature;
- Severe menstruation accompanied by constant aching pain, premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea;
- Negative reaction to excessive physical force;
- Stagnation of blood in parametric vessels;
- Sometimes - difficulty urinating.
Symptoms are less common in other diseases and often affect the mass of the pelvic organs. Varicose veins of the uterus and varicose veins of the testicles are separate inflammations that have nothing to do with the above causes. The diagnosis is made by the doctor on the basis of several indicators: the symptoms are a factor to be taken into account, the causes of the disease are then clarified.
Keep in mind that patients with varicose veins behave differently, sometimes not all symptoms are observed in the body. To prove the diagnosis correct, doctors use stimulants to test the body's response. Timely diagnosis guarantees quick and painless treatment. There is no need to leave the body, you can not allow the development of varicose veins with impunity.
Self-medication should not be used. Most women, without special knowledge, can not diagnose the disease independently - you need to see a doctor. Even after reading many articles about the disease, it is easy to ignore the simplest contraindications to each treatment procedure.
Diagnosis: how to confirm the diagnosis
It is allowed to get advice on the disease from various doctors: venous phlebologist, 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.
It is recommended to apply to the gynecology department with complaints before treatment. In response to the request, the doctor has the right to prescribe a number of tests that will prove or disprove the existence of pathology among the internal organs:
- Phlebography through the uterus;
- Ovaricography;
- Ultrasound;
- laparoscopy;
- CT scan.
Each procedure is performed with the consent of the treated women. The reasons for the difference are to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the wishes of the woman and, perhaps, the slightest suspicion of the doctor involved in the diagnosis.
Treatment
If varicose veins of the small pelvis are found in a pregnant girl, careful treatment is often prescribed. Includes wearing special medical clothing. The woman does not take medication during childbirth, and the effects of the drugs on the fetus have not been studied. It is better not to take risks and get rid of the disease only after pregnancy. Healing tights are a must until fully healed.
The main rule of treatment is to normalize the patient's lifestyle: it is impossible to stay in an upright position for a long time, work should be normalized, especially covering physical effort. Exercise for pelvic varicose veins is not disputed for its prophylactic nature. Prescribed by a doctor. The main action is to relax the body: exercises such as "maple", "scissors", "bicycle" and others are used. Even breathing exercises are useful, it normalizes the work of the tired body, restores the arteries to their previous state. A daily contrast shower is recommended in the perineal area.
The causes of the development of varicose veins, even if the symptoms do not show a similar condition, affect the general condition of the internal organs. During treatment, it is necessary to normalize the diet, to give up bad habits such as alcohol and smoking, there is no need to talk about drugs. It is recommended to increase the consumption of vegetable products, of course, fresh, vegetable oil. Good for blood vessels that need nutrients. It is beneficial to consume more products that contain or produce collagen, which enters the body: the substance has a positive effect on the connective tissues of blood vessels, restores and gives the previous elasticity.
If conservative treatment does not help, you should seek surgery. The operation is performed in an area with severe blood stasis. The doctor will make sure that the venous parameters are in good condition and working properly.
What happens if varicose veins are not treated
Diseases that carry the consequences of the disease can not be called deadly and terrible. However, it is unacceptable to sit with arms folded to prevent the disease from progressing. We must not forget that in the absence of treatment, the internal organs suffer. When varicose veins are diagnosed, the myometrium of the uterus is affected, creating many difficulties for the body with blood flow.
Researchers distinguish three degrees of development of varicose veins:
- The vein grows up to 5 millimeters, the type and course of the veins are tuberculous;
- The vessel increases to 6-10 millimeters, empty ecstasy of the ovarian plexus occurs, parametric vessels and vessels of the uterine arc plexus are damaged;
- The vein grows by more than 10 millimeters, the varicose veins of the small pelvis finally take on a general appearance, or the venous parameter is affected.
Treatment varies depending on the stage of development of the process. In severe cases, even surgery is possible. In the first and second stages of the disease, conservative methods of treatment of blood vessels are used, acting on the causes of organ damage, destroying the disease. Apply venotonic (increase vascular tone), exercise therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the first symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor to avoid worsening later. Most women try not to pay attention to the varicose veins of the small pelvis, while the treatment does not require much effort.
It is forbidden to start treatment on your own. Varicose veins of the small pelvis are not a deadly disease, but violation of the rules threatens serious complications.
