how can i lessen the appearance of thread veins?

Question

Simplest ways to reduce appearance of spider veins?

Answer 1

Sclerotherapy: Spider veins can be treated with sclerotherapy, injecting a solution known as a detergent (polidocanol, sotradecol) into the thread veins using a small needle. It would be wise to see a phlebologist in your area by checking www.Phlebology.Org, and you can undergo a proper venous evaluation and treatment for your thread veins.

Answer 2

Various options: There are a variety of treatment options for thread veins. Injection sclerotherapy probably is the best available treatment.

Answer 3

Sclero or laser.: Spider veins get their name because they look like spider legs. The short answer is that topical laser or sclerotherapy usually works well. The longer answer is that if you have many spider veins and/or combinations of spiders, reticulars and varicose veins then you should first have a venous reflux exam. You should see a vein specialist.

Answer 4

Fat's in portal vein: The fat particles digested and absorbed from the small intestine are indeed carried by the hepatic portal vein, from the small intestine to the liver, for processing into the types of fatty "lipids" the human body needs. Over the thousands of years that humans roamed the earth in search for food, they evolved this efficient system for removing the maximum amount of nutrients from the intestines.

Answer 5

Anatomy: Simple answer - the portal venous system carries blood away from the intestines to the liver (where nutrients are metabolized).

Answer 6

TIPSS?: Patients with refractory ascites (maximum diuretic doses not sufficient to control ascites or unacceptable adverse effects/complications with diuretic therapy) can be managed with large-volume paracentesis (lvp) and Albumin replacement or transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (tipss) placement. Although tipss has been shown to be more effective than lvp and alb. Gives more encephalopathy.

Answer 7

Lower portal press: Portal vein bypass is a means of treating high blood pressure in the portal vein system. This often happens b/c of cirrhosis of the liver. Portal vein hypertension can result in severe bleeding from the esophagus. Decreasing the pressure can treat this. It doesn't fix the liver failure historically this was a open surg procedure with significant risks. Often now this is done by radiology (tips).

Answer 8

Bleeding, infection: As with any procedure, there are risks of bleeding and infection. There could be technical complications from doing the procedure, and there can also be development of encephalopathy (confusion) related to liver disease.

Answer 9

Low compared to NOT: If you need it, you are in trouble. It is a serious operation all operations carry risks of dying, bleeding, infection, failure, and those specific risks will be clarified by your surgeon in preparation. Risks, benefits and alternatives discussion is done prior to your consenting to any operation.

Answer 10

Anatomical variant: Normally, the left renal vein crosses over the aorta and drains into the vena cava. A circum-aortic left renal vein is simply a vein that crosses both above and behind the aorta. It's not a problem in the least and could only cause a vascular surgeon an issue in an open aortic operation if he wasn't aware of it. So no problem! you can still call the hogs! wps!
