Perivenous Reflux: Understanding and Treating a Desperate Condition

Introduction:

Perivenos reflux, also known as refluxus perivenosus, is a condition that causes backflow of blood in a person's venous system. This is a serious disease that can lead to various complications and significantly worsen the patient’s quality of life. In this article we will look at the main aspects of perivenous reflux, its causes, symptoms and modern treatment methods.

Causes of perivenous reflux:

Perivenous reflux usually develops due to improper functioning of the valves in the veins. Venous valves play an important role in maintaining one-way blood flow from the periphery to the heart. However, when the function of these valves is impaired, blood begins to flow back and accumulate in the veins, causing them to expand and become deformed. This can lead to the formation of varicose veins, thrombophlebitis and other serious complications.

Symptoms of perivenous reflux:

The main symptom of perivenous reflux is the appearance of visible varicose veins, especially in the lower extremities. Other symptoms may include swelling, heaviness and tenderness in the legs, feeling tired and muscle cramps. If the disease progresses, complications such as skin ulcers, thrombosis and bleeding may occur.

Diagnosis and treatment:

To diagnose perivenous reflux, various methods are used, including ultrasound examination of veins (duplex scanning) and venography. These methods allow doctors to visualize the veins, assess the severity of reflux, and determine whether complications exist.

Modern methods of treating perivenous reflux include conservative and surgical approaches. Conservative treatment usually includes wearing compression stockings, physical activity, lifestyle changes, and medications to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation.

Surgical treatments include endovenous treatment, sclerotherapy, and surgical removal of the affected veins. These procedures are aimed at eliminating the backflow of blood and restoring normal blood circulation.

Conclusion:

Perivenous reflux is a serious condition that can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Early diagnosis and timely treatment play an important role in preventing disease progression and improving treatment outcomes. Patients with suspected perivenous reflux should see a doctor for diagnosis and to determine the best treatment plan, which may include both conservative and surgical options.

However, it should be noted that each case of perivenous reflux is unique, and treatment should be individually selected by the doctor, taking into account the characteristics of each patient. It is wise to work with your doctor and follow all recommendations to achieve the best results.

In general, perivenous reflux is a serious disease, but modern diagnostic and treatment methods make it possible to effectively manage this condition. If symptoms associated with varicose veins and other manifestations of perivenous reflux appear, it is important to consult a specialist for advice and prescribe appropriate treatment.
