Sclerosing therapy

Sclerosing therapy is a method of treating varicose veins (usually the lower extremities) by introducing special medications into the varicose nodes, causing obliteration (blockage) of these nodes.

The main drugs used for sclerotherapy are varicocid and tetradecyl sulfate. When injected into a varicose node, they cause an inflammatory reaction and subsequent scarring of the vein wall at the injection site, which leads to the closure of the lumen of the vein and the disappearance of the varicose node.

Sclerotherapy is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization or anesthesia. It allows you to get rid of varicose veins and symptoms such as pain, swelling, heaviness in the legs. This treatment method is most effective for small varicose veins and is used as an alternative to surgery.



Therapy for sclerosing disease is one of the most effective methods of treating varicose veins. Varicose veins are a chronic disease caused by a violation of the tone of the venous wall, due to which the veins dilate, nodes form and other changes. The main cause of varicose veins is heredity, so initially treatment should be carried out by a specialist who will make an accurate diagnosis, determine treatment methods and select the optimal treatment option.

Modern medicine offers several methods of treating varicose veins, one of them is sclerotherapy or therapy with sclerosing medications. Sclerotherapy is a treatment method that is based on the use of drugs that can change the structure and function of the walls of blood vessels, thereby eliminating the causes of varicose veins - dilation of veins and the formation of nodes.

Today, sclerotherapy is considered the most effective way to combat varicose veins. The use of this method allows you to normalize blood flow to tissues, eliminate blood flow disturbances, reduce or eliminate painful sensations, relieve swelling and forget about heaviness in the legs. The sclerotherapy procedure is performed by injection. Injections of a special composition are made in the area of ​​the diseased vessel. It destroys the wall of the vessel and a slight fibrosis forms in this place, and deformation of the inner surface of the vein also occurs. Because of this, the pathologically altered vessel stops passing blood through itself, that is, it actually stops functioning, and then
