Complications occur in the mother's body after birth. During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes serious changes, the consequences of which are the creation of a new life and, unfortunately, in a variety of diseases. Varicose veins of the small pelvis are one of many possibilities.
The disease develops in 30% of pregnant women, often affecting the condition of the internal organs after the birth of a child. It happens that the symptoms appear at this moment: similarly, the body responds to prolonged stress, indicating that the body condition has deteriorated over the past nine months. The situation is obvious if the first child is not born or the birth has been complicated.
Some doctors, when asked "how to treat a disease", shrug their shoulders and ask not to worry. If the pain is constantly bothering, there is a risk of further complication of the disease, the answer is one: to be treated!
Symptoms of the disease
Varicose veins of the small pelvis are easily deleted by a person from 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 treatment on time, the results will surely remain positive.
Patients with varicose veins of the pelvis have symptoms:
- Persistent back and abdominal pain intensifies if you stay still for a long time. If the focus of painful sensations increases, it gives to the perineum or lower back;
- Sexual pain, lack of orgasm - symptoms and causes of the disease. Often, the signs develop in parallel, you need to be attentive and carefully monitor the sensations so as not to lose the disturbing pain. If intercourse is terminated for contraceptive purposes, the risk of disease is extremely high;
- Vaginal sensitivity is increased;
- In adolescents, the disease rarely develops, it continues without obvious manifestations. If there are unjustified leaks from the genitals, this becomes an alarm signal for contacting a doctor. Unexplained genital secretions also occur in adult women;
- Strange reaction of the body to temperature changes;
- Severe menstruation, accompanied by persistent pain, premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea;
- Negative response to excessive physical exertion;
- Blood stagnation in parametric veins;
- Sometimes - difficulty urinating.
Symptoms are not as 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 reasons. Diagnosis is made by the doctor based on several indicators: symptoms are a factor to be taken into account, the causes of the disease are clarified later.
Remember, patients with varicose veins manifest differently, sometimes not all the symptoms are noticed in the body. To prove the diagnosis is correct, doctors use stimulants to test the body's response. Installing timely diagnosis guarantees a quick and painless treatment. There is no need to abandon the body, you can not 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 go to the doctor. Even after reading many articles about the disease, it is easy to ignore the simple contraindications that any treatment procedure has.
Diagnosis: how the diagnosis is confirmed
It is permissible to seek advice for disease from different 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.
Prior to treatment, it is indicated to contact the gynecology department with complaints. In response to the complaint, the doctor has the right to prescribe a number of studies that will confirm or rule out the presence of pathology between the internal organs:
- Phlebography through the uterus;
- Ovarography;
- Ultrasound;
- Laparoscopy;
- CT scan.
Any procedure is performed with the consent of the women undergoing treatment. The reasons for diversity lie in taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient, the wishes of the woman and, perhaps, the slightest doubts of the doctor participating in the diagnosis.
Treatment
If varicose veins of the small pelvis are diagnosed in a pregnant girl, sparing treatment is often prescribed. Includes wearing special medical clothing. The woman at birth does not take medication, the effect of drugs on the fetus has not been studied. It is better not to risk and get rid of the disease only after pregnancy. Healing tights remain a necessity until complete recovery.
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, especially involving physical effort, should be normalized. Exercises for pelvic varicose veins are not contested, being of a preventive nature. Assigned by a doctor. The main action is the discharge of the body: exercises such as "birch", "scissors", "bicycle" and others are used. Breathing exercises are also beneficial, which normalize the work of a tired body, returning the vessels to their previous state. A daily shower with contrast in the perineal area is recommended.
The reasons for the development of varicose veins affect the general condition of the internal organs, even if the symptoms do not indicate a similar condition. During treatment, the diet will need to be normalized, giving up bad habits like alcohol and smoking, no need to talk about drugs. It is recommended to increase the consumption of plant products, of course also fresh, vegetable oil. It is useful for blood vessels that need nutrients. It is beneficial to consume more products that contain or produce collagen, entering the body: the substance has a positive effect on the connective tissues of vessels, restoring and giving it previous flexibility.
If conservative treatment methods do not help, you should resort to surgery. The operation is performed in an area where there is a strong blood stagnation. The doctor will make sure that the venous parameters are in order and functioning normally.
What happens if varicose veins are not treated
Diseases that carry the consequences of the disease can not be called fatal and terrible. However, it is unacceptable to sit with your 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 a lot of difficulty for the body with blood flow.
Researchers distinguish three stages in the development of varicose veins:
- The vein grows to 5 millimeters, the type and course of vessels is capillary;
- The vein grows to 6-10 millimeters, the appearance of loose ecstasy of the ovarian plexus, damage to the parametric veins and veins of the uterine arch plexus is possible;
- The vein grows by more than 10 millimeters, the small pelvic varicose veins finally take on a total appearance or the venous parameters are affected.
Treatment varies depending on the stage of progress. In severe cases, surgery is also possible. In the first and second stage of the course of the disease, conservative methods of treatment of blood vessels are used, acting on the causes of organ damage, exterminating the disease. Apply venotonics (increase vascular tone), exercise therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the first symptoms already appear, you should see a doctor so that it does not worsen later. Most women try not to pay attention to small pelvic varicose veins, while the treatment does not require much effort.
It is forbidden to start treatment yourself. Varicose veins of the pelvis is not a fatal disease, but breaking the rules threatens serious complications.
