Što su proširene vene:

Proširene vene su uobičajeno medicinsko stanje koje se javlja kada vene postanu proširene, uvijene ili isprepletene. Vene su krvne žile koje prenose krv iz različitih dijelova tijela natrag prema srcu. Do proširenja dolazi zbog nakupljanja krvi u venama usred nedostatnog djelovanja venskih zalistaka. Venski zalisci sprječavaju povrat i nakupljanje krvi u venama jer djeluju kao ventil koji dopušta kretanje krvi samo u jednom smjeru, u ovom slučaju prema gore odnosno iz nogu prema srcu nasuprot gravitaciji. Kada se ti zalisci prestanu kvalitetno zatvarati (kronična venska insuficijencija), krv se vraća unatrag i gomila se u venama nogu što dovodi do njihvog proširenja.

​​​​

Simptomi proširenih vena:

  1. Vidljive promjene na koži: Proširene vene su često vidljive ispod kože kao tamne, uvijene ili ispupčene vene. One se često pojavljuju u donjim udovima.

  2. Oticanje nogu: Oteklina, obično na gležnjevima i nogama, može biti posljedica problema s venama.

  3. Bol i osjećaj težine: Osjećaj boli, nelagode ili težine u nogama, osobito nakon dugotrajnog stajanja ili sjedenja, može biti simptom proširenih vena.

  4. Svrbež ili pečenje: Osjećaj svrbeža ili pečenja oko proširenih vena nije rijedak.

  5. Grčevi noću: Ponekad se javljaju grčevi u mišićima nogu tijekom noći, a povezani su s proširenim venama.

  6. Promjene u koži: Koža oko proširenih vena može postati tanja, suha ili sklonija pigmentaciji.

  7. Umor nogu: Osjećaj umora ili nemogućnost stajanja ili hodanja dulje vrijeme bez odmora.

​

​

Uzroci proširenih vena:

Proširene vene često su rezultat problema s venama i krvotokom. Glavni uzroci proširenih vena uključuju:

  1. Nasljedna Sklonost: Genetska predispozicija igra ključnu ulogu u razvoju proširenih vena. Ako imate članove obitelji s ovim problemom, povećava se vjerojatnost da ćete ih i sami razviti.

  2. Dob: Starenje može oslabiti vene i ventile koji reguliraju protok krvi. To može uzrokovati proširenje vena.

  3. Spol: Žene su sklonije razvoju proširenih vena nego muškarci. Hormonalne promjene tijekom trudnoće, menstruacije i menopauze mogu povećati rizik kod žena.

  4. Trudnoća: Tijekom trudnoće, povećan pritisak na donjim udovima i hormonalne promjene mogu uzrokovati proširene vene.

  5. Sjedenje i stajanje: Dugotrajno sjedenje ili stajanje može otežati protok krvi kroz vene, povećavajući rizik od proširenih vena.

  6. Pretilost: Višak tjelesne mase može staviti dodatan pritisak na vene, što ih čini osjetljivijim na proširenje.

  7. Povrede i operacije: Prethodne povrede ili kirurški zahvati u području donjih udova mogu oštetiti vene i povećati rizik od proširenih vena.

  8. Pušenje: Pušenje može utjecati na cirkulaciju i oštetiti stijenke krvnih žila, što može povećati rizik od proširenih vena.

  9. Visoki krvni tlak: Visoki krvni tlak može oštetiti vene i ventile te povećati rizik od proširenih vena.

​

Važnost pravovremenog liječenja proširenih vena:

Pravovremeno liječenje proširenih vena iznimno je važno iz više razloga:

  1. Prevencija komplikacija: Pravovremeno liječenje može spriječiti ili smanjiti rizik od komplikacija proširenih vena, kao što su venski čirevi, tromboflebitis (upaljene vene s krvnim ugrušcima) ili teža stanja poput duboke venske tromboze.

  2. Bolja kvaliteta života: Liječenje može ublažiti simptome proširenih vena, uključujući bol, oticanje, grčeve i osjećaj težine u nogama. To znači bolju kvalitetu života i veću udobnost.

  3. Sprečavanje napredovanja: Proširene vene imaju tendenciju napredovati ako se ne liječe. Pravovremena intervencija može usporiti ili zaustaviti taj proces.

  4. Estetski aspekt: Proširene vene često narušavaju izgled nogu. Liječenje može poboljšati estetski izgled, što je osobito važno za mnoge ljude.

  5. Poboljšanje cirkulacije: Liječenjem proširenih vena poboljšava se cirkulacija krvi u donjim udovima, smanjuje se rizik od otvorenih rana (venskih ulkusa) i sprečava se daljnje oštećenje vena.

  6. Smanjenje rizika od ponovnog pojavljivanja: Pravilno liječenje i promjene u načinu života mogu smanjiti rizik od ponovnog razvoja proširenih vena nakon liječenja.

ABOUT VARICOSE VEINS

Laser treatment of varicose veins, also known as endovenous laser ablation ( EVLA) , is a minimally invasive method used to treat varicose veins, especially larger superficial veins. This procedure typically involves the following steps:

  1. Examination and Diagnosis: Before the procedure begins, the vascular surgeon will perform a detailed examination of the legs to determine the presence of varicose veins and their severity. In addition to a physical examination, an ultrasound ( color Doppler ultrasound ) may be performed to precisely identify the veins that require treatment.

  2. Patient Preparation: The patient will be positioned on the treatment table, and the surgeon will apply local anesthesia to the area where the procedure will be performed to prevent pain during the procedure.

  3. Insertion of the Laser Probe: After anesthesia, the surgeon will make a small incision in the skin to insert the laser probe. A laser probe is a thin fiber that emits high-energy light. In our polyclinic, we perform laser treatment with ELVeS® Radial® 2ring Pro fiber laser fiber, one of the most advanced and highest quality fibers for performing this procedure.

  4. Laser ablation : When a probe is placed inside the varicose vein, laser light is directed at the vein walls and produces heat that causes the varicose vein to close, eventually resulting in its disappearance. The procedure is usually performed under ultrasound guidance to precisely target the light and ensure effective treatment.

  5. End of the procedure: Once the laser treatment is complete, the surgeon will remove the laser probe and close the incision. A compression bandage or stocking is usually applied to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling.

  6. Recovery: The patient can leave the clinic the same day. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities and prolonged standing in the following days to ensure successful healing and reduction of swelling.

  7. Results: Results from laser treatment for varicose veins can be seen within a few weeks to a few months. Patients typically notice a reduction in symptoms of varicose veins, including pain, swelling, and fatigue in the legs.

ADVANTAGES OF LASER TREATMENT

Precision

Laser technology allows the surgeon to precisely target and close varicose veins, resulting in better control over the procedure and ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Minimal invasiveness

Laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis. There is no need for deep tissue cutting or open surgery, resulting in a less traumatic experience for the patient.

Lower risk of complications

Laser treatment of varicose veins reduces the risk of complications that can occur with traditional surgical procedures, such as infections, damage to surrounding tissues or scarring.

Faster recovery

Patients who undergo laser treatment typically have a faster recovery compared to traditional methods. Less tissue trauma during the laser procedure reduces pain, swelling, and recovery time.

Less bleeding

Laser technology enables precise closure, without causing significant bleeding. This results in a less bloody procedure and a faster recovery.

Outpatient procedure

Laser surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, which means that the patient does not have to stay in the hospital. This reduces hospitalization costs and allows patients to return to their daily activities more quickly.
