Recovery after surgery to eliminate varicose veins on the leg
Any operation is stress for the body.The varicose veins exposed to surgery are no exception.So that the veins of the leg legs do not reproduce, as well as to avoid possible complications, it is necessary to restore the functions of the circulatory system and the whole organism.And, will help the patient in this rehabilitation time.

But in one way or another, for all those who have been executed on varicose veins, there are general recommendations.
And since, after the operation to delete varicose veins on the legs, many questions often arise on what and when possible and what is impossible, in our article, we will talk about it.
Restoration or rehabilitation after the operation to eliminate the veins includes a set of measures which will be intended for as much confrontation between thrombosis and the standardization of blood circulation.When the veins affected by the pathology are already excluded from the blood flow, the state of that operated will improve daily.After all, varicose veins no longer progress.To contribute to the rapid return to the usual lifestyle of the patient, strict respect for all of the doctor's recommendations during the postoperative period is necessary.This can and cannot be done after the operation to eliminate the varicose veins of the linked lower limbs.
After the operation: that can and cannot be done?
In order to restore after surgery in the veins of the lower limbs successfully, most patients are recommended to immediately use elastic bandage or compression products: tights, low, golf.
At the end of the surgical procedure, you must literally start to go immediately to prevent venous stagnation and the formation of blood clots.
Therapeutic gymnastics is also extremely important.The morning charge or any other general physical stress during the day must necessarily contain exercises to restore blood circulation, eliminate the threat of stagnant processes, promote the regeneration of the tissues and so that the swelling does not occur.Is it possible to expand in general, are you not contraindicated in sports?Sport after surgery to eliminate varicose veins on the legs is necessary!There are some "but" which should not be overlooked due to the recording of:
- You cannot perform exercises with the maximum load on the lower limbs;
- The load intensity must be focused on a larger number of approaches than on their speed and complexity;
- Exclude shock and power loads on the feet;
- Correctly select sports shoes;
- Sports are carried out under the control of the instructor.
Given the above, it is important to note that the aerobic and intensive race after surgery for varicose veins is prohibited.Give a preference to swimming, sporting, aquaerobics, cycling, etc.
Appropriate eating behavior is extremely important for the normal functioning of anyone's body and has mainly operated.Consequently, all of the appropriate eating habits will make restoration more quickly, will maintain the weight in the necessary values and strengthen the vessels.Perhaps specialists can be awarded a corresponding diet which will include products with a high content of nutrients and vitamins, and exclude salt, spices, gas drinks, candy, strong tea, coffee and alcohol.Whatever the way in which the surgical intervention was carried out, after a laser operation to eliminate the varicose veins on the legs or after any other, smoking must be abandoned.It is one of the most common causes of the development of all vascular diseases, including varicose veins.
Expert's opinion
A large number of patients are interested if the sauna and the bath are harmful?Note that visiting a sauna is strictly prohibited.And the ability to visit the bath is determined individually by the doctor.Much depends on the time to remove the seams after the operation, if it was made using cuts.Until healing the skin - you can't visit the bath exactly.After six months later, the doctor can allow you to visit the bath.

Make an operation and count on the fact that the varicose veins will retire forever without your reckless participation.Only daily efforts, overcome and take prevention measures can create favorable conditions for this.Therefore, every day, take care of the health of your legs and blood vessels.Follow the doctor's recommendations, take a hiking, actively spend your free time, make a contrast shower and self-massage at your feet.
Varices and operation: "Advantages and disadvantages"
Of course, there is always doubts as to whether it is necessary to perform a surgical intervention for varicose veins?But independently consider the surgical treatment of the varicose veins of the lower limbs in the context of "for or against", this is not worth it.Only a doctor, having studied the history of the patient's disease, collecting an anamnesis of the disease, having familiar with the results of the corresponding tests and studies, can certainly answer the question of whether and why is the functioning of the varicose veins?
The causes of doubts can reside in the same prevalence of the disease.After all, a specialist will never give a 100% guarantee of the healing of pathology.The risk of relapse of the disease will persist all life.
Expert's opinion
Some surgical manipulations give a more persistent and long effect, others less.Everything is individual.Remember that doing the operation is only one of the first stages of the path of healing.To prevent varicose veins from progressing, a person must make efforts daily for this.And far from always, patients conscientiously make all the recommendations received from the doctor after the operation, and therefore the varicose veins are recurrent.
