vein measurement week
Let us check in your veins -
of 02 June 2008 - 06 June 2008
We offer to all interested in during this time to test the function of the superficial veins. The test will take with Preparation and review of the result approximately 10-15 minutes. Please register in advance to avoid waiting times: 04745/325 Tel. The measurement is made using LRR - measuring system (= light out Rheografie). It is measured on photometric means (photometry = light measurement), the change in blood volume in the superficial veins. Every customer gets for his test certificate, he may submit his doctor at the next visit.
tired, heavy legs and swollen ankles, or visible veins changes:
This may reflect a weak veins: his (medical primary varicose veins). By changing its structure, the veins lax, can expand and include no more than small valves in the veins existing venous valve effective.
weak veins, varicose veins
Then , the oxygen-poor "used" blood is not more easily flow back to the heart. The congestion is putting pressure on the vessel walls, leading to swelling of the tissue, and oxygen depletion promotes damaging processes in the vein walls, so the progression of the disease. They can lead to phlebitis, eczema and "open leg", ie an ulcer. For complaints should be examined, therefore, by the physician. Treatment depends on the type and severity of venous disease and possibly additional aggravating diseases.
Many individual factors influence continue on this disease process, which tends to. You can stop it, but do not most vein damage reversed. Therefore, it is important to do a lot to the development and progression to slow the weak veins. Varicose veins should be treated in principle.
genetic factors, obesity, occupations related activities, Pregnancies and increasing age are major risk factors.
Drug treatment
There are 2 groups of recommended resources for which good scientific proof of efficacy: horse chestnut seed extracts and flavone derivatives. Both are used internally. For externally applied means that science has found no placebo effect beyond. Whether one takes better
chestnut extracts or flavone, is not to say in general. In general, both are recommended in the individual case of each of these resources may also withdraw because of side effects such as gastrointestinal intolerance. Overall, both agents are very few side effects and also on time and in pregnancy-friendly. They also have little interaction with other drugs and, finally, they are recommended because they act in combination with compression of approximately twice the rate of compression or drug alone.
horse chestnut extract as main ingredient the triterpene mixture escin. It counteracts the escape of liquid (including proteins and electrolytes) counter and cells from the blood vessels and has a gefäßabdichtende effect. By inhibiting lysosomal Emzyme that tend to accumulate in the damaged vein, has chestnut extract against the abolition of Glycokalix (mucopolysaccharides) in the capillary wall. Escin inhibits inflammatory processes and promotes the microcirculation. In different studies, significant improvement in subjective symptoms such as fatigue, heaviness, and soreness, itching, pain and swelling were also measured objectively demonstrated.

The effective dose is 100 mg of escin per day, possibly as a delayed-release. We recommend Venostasin retard capsules, because the good effect of this preparation particularly detailed scientific documented.
flavone derivatives have been used for centuries in folk medicine of Asia. In the 1930s, scientists became aware of it, when it was found that capillary not with pure vitamin C, but with crude vegetable vitamin C could cure preparations. As an effective mixture found the flavone derivatives. They usually occur as yellowish pigment in fruits, flowers and other parts of numerous plants. To this date, more than 600 derivatives, chemically derived largely from rutin. A major disadvantage is that they are poorly soluble. Therefore, the plant compound rutin by appending a semi-synthetic water-soluble moiety to the water-soluble Drug rutoside processed. Flavone derivatives are antioxidants have a wide range of biological effects, in the foreground are the effects on the capillary system: they are less transparent and less brittle. Several flavonoids are used for different applications. Vein treatment especially the halbynthetische Oxerutin from the Japanese tree line is recommended, as figures for the corresponding preparation Venoruton very good efficacy evidence. The effective dose is 10-20 mg / kg body weight / day, entsprecht about 1000 mg daily dose. Both under-and overdose leading to a weakening effect.
Both the chestnut extract as well as contribute additional Oxerutin compression therapy to reduce swelling and "open leg" promotes healing.
What resources do not, however, is a thrombosis prophylaxis. Are suitable for this compression therapy and heparin. Anyone who has a long flight, train or bus in front of him, with horse chestnut extract can prevent symptoms such as aching, swollen legs, but must take in the event of a known risk of thrombosis doctor heparin.
compression therapy for the duration of treatment of venous insufficiency, compression stockings and pantyhose a cornerstone of treatment, provided that the patient comes to right and there is no reason such as movement restrictions, Heart failure or arterial circulation problems, however. Compression therapy should be prescribed by a doctor. Modern compression stockings are relatively thin and available in different qualities. Their effect depends on the amount of pressure. Therefore, they are offered in 4 compression classes. It is shown to prevent thrombosis.
support stockings or tights may be the drug of choice for minor complaints such as swollen legs and light varicose veins, because they are easier to attract and pleasant to be borne, because they exert less pressure than surgical fabric.
there as "nylons" and also with high cotton content. In the Lion Pharmacy Bederkesa a selection of them in stock. It also makes sense to combine them with internal resources 8s.o. be occupied).

more legs cold (not ice cold) shower off with cold showers or alternating (10-16 ° C) and warm water (38 ° C) are a boon for the legs. Run the water jet outside of the leg up to the groin.

If your doctor prescribes it every day wear compression stockings (put on the best before getting up) and take the decongestant medications (Ödemprotektiva) to rule. As part drug therapy, however, should come only groups of substances used, their therapeutic effect is demonstrated by controlled studies.
SSS and LLL rule
sitting and standing is bad, my friend lying or running.
Avoid:
Isometric exercises (strength training, weight lifting) should be avoided.
Avoid wearing of heavy loads.
Avoid tight clothes (tight pants, tight corsets, stockings and rubber belts, narrow belts).
