Symptoms of disease - pain in the veins

Classical anatomy veins allocates superficial and deep venous system, which shall be communicated between a thin-walled vessels - perforating veins, lesion of which has an impact on the development of chronic venous insufficiency. Feature of the venous vessels is the presence in them of the valves, which are necessary for the support of monodirectional of the blood flow.

In its structure of vein differ from the arteries is much less developed muscle layer.

Chronic inflammation of the inner lining of the vein happens very rarely, the veins are distinguished by the high propensity to calcification, but it is not exposed to, as arteries, atheromatous rebirth. Due to the weak muscle layer and more unfavourable in comparison with the arteries, conditions of circulation of the blood in the veins occur more often expand them, and in the artery occurs mainly limited protrusion in one place, and vein often expands all evenly or unevenly.

Varicose veins occur because of the more or less strong stagnation of blood in the vein; in case of prolonged stagnation of blood vein wall lose their elasticity and contractile and, thanks to this, a temporary extension is more persistent. Slow blood circulation leads to the formation on the walls of the veins of blood clots, which can clog the lumen of vein; in case of prolonged existence of the parietal brain around it is delayed fibrin, and inside are covered with lime, and thus appears natural stone (phlebolith).

In practice have to do mainly with the expansion of veins on the legs, the rectum and the expansion of the veins of the testicle.

Which diseases there is pain in the veins

The main causes of pain in the veins:

1. Varicose expansion of veins in the legs is observed among people, who thanks to their profession have to stand or walk around a lot; in women, they usually develop during the frequent pregnancies result associated with the recent difficulties of the outflow of venous blood from the lower extremities. Varicose veins through the translucent skin of the lower legs in the form of a blue cord, part of the winding, part of the rolled up in a ball. Persons with advanced veins on the legs usually easy to get tired; when walking or prolonged standing they feel numbness and tension in the legs, pain in the veins; sometimes they have become swollen feet. Due to a disorder of blood circulation in the legs often appear also ulcers on the legs, it is very difficult to measurable treatment. With the continuous expansion of the vein wall of which any of them may to such an extent thinned that sometimes bursts, even without any external cause, and then the bleeding; from the disclosed veins can become a plague - varicose ulcer (varix - extended vein).

2. Throm superficial veins. Throm - inflammation of the walls of veins, accompanied by the formation of a blood clot in her slit. May be struck by any surface vein. The main complaint of pain in the veins; in the course of vein is tight painful heavy.


3. Deep vein thrombosis is often asymptomatic and remains unrecognized, so the total frequency of the disease is unknown. Deep vein thrombosis is diagnosed more than half the patients with paralysis of the lower extremities and more than a half of patients with long-chained to the bed.
The classic symptoms of deep vein thrombosis: swelling, pain in the veins, pain on palpation, raising the temperature of the limbs, the expansion of surface veins. Homans symptom (pain in the calf muscles at the rear bending foot) nonspecific, and be guided by him should not. Clinical signs of deep vein thrombosis are known for their unreliability: in half of the patients with classical picture of thrombosis objective studies do not confirm the diagnosis; and vice versa, in half of the cases of proven thrombosis asymptomatic.

4. Postflebistic syndrome develops after suffering a deep vein thrombosis and is characterized by a deficiency of the venous valves and occasionally - violation of venous outflow. Small clots can completely disappear under the influence of fibrinolytic system of blood. But more often there is a organization of a blood clot, that is, the replacement of the connective tissue, and sewage - the germination of brain capillaries. As a result of patency of vein restored. However, this process is accompanied by damage to the wings of venous valves, which leads to their inferiority.
Symptoms:
- Pain in the veins is the most frequent symptom. Patients usually complain of pain, distension and heaviness in the leg. Intermittent claudication is rare, accompanied by acute splitting pain in calf or thigh. Intermittent claudication is the consequence of a sharp increase of venous pressure and difficulties of outflow of blood during exercise.
Swelling of the limbs arises from the leakage of plasma in the tissue under the influence of high venous pressure.
- Hyperpigmentation - the result of the release of red blood cells in the intracellular space with the subsequent formation and deposition in the tissues of the hemosiderin.
- Sclerosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissue due to the growth of connective tissue.
- Varicose veins.
- Dermatitis - eczema and vesicular rash; because of perspire heavily plasma on the surface of the skin is possible weeping eczema.
- Trophic ulcers. Cause believe a violation of the diffusion of nutrients from the blood to the tissues of the fibrin deposits and oppression of tissue fibrinolysis. As a rule, ulcers are located in the lower third of the shin (between ankles and the lower edge of the calf muscle), most often on the inner surface of the legs, where most perforans veins.
