Qu’est-ce que c'est des varices?
Le système veineux humain est divisé en deux composantes principales : le système veineux superficiel et le système veineux profond. Le système veineux profond est responsable de ramener 90% du sang vers le cœur, alors que le système veineux superficiel s’occupe de ramener le 10% résiduel. Ces deux systèmes sont interconnectés, mais jouent des rôles distincts dans la circulation sanguine.
Les varicosités et les varices sont deux manifestations différentes des troubles veineux superficiels, bien que souvent confondues. Comprendre ces distinctions est essentiel pour un diagnostic précis et un traitement approprié.
Les varicosités :
Les varicosités sont de petites veines dilatées, visibles à la surface de la peau, souvent en forme de fines lignes rouges ou bleues.
Elles résultent souvent de la dilatation de très petites veines de diamètre inférieur à 1 mm. Bien qu’elles puissent être inesthétiques, les varicosités ne sont généralement pas douloureuses.
Les varices :
Les varices, d’autre part, sont des veines plus larges et plus enflées. Elles peuvent être ressenties sous la peau et sont souvent associées à une sensation de lourdeur, de douleur ou de fatigue dans les jambes. Les varices sont le résultat d’une maladie veineuse chronique, où les valves des veines ne fonctionnent pas correctement et ne ramènent pas efficacement le sang vers le cœur.
Ceci entraine une accumulation de sang dans les veines atteintes et ainsi une dilatation des vaisseaux. Les varices nécessitent une attention médicale plus approfondie et peuvent être traitées par diverses méthodes, allant de la sclérothérapie à la chirurgie.

What if varicose veins are not treated?
Failure to treat varicose veins over time can lead to several complications and health risks.
Some of the risks associated with a long-term untreated varicose vein include:
It's important to note that everyone reacts differently to varicose veins, and risks vary based on a variety of factors such as genetics, age, gender, and lifestyle.
Venous disease is a chronic and progressive disease. Regular follow-up in phlebology is essential to assess the evolution of venous disorders, adjust treatments if necessary, and prevent possible complications.

Pelvic congestion syndrome, also known as pelvic congestion or pelvic venous insufficiency, is a collection of symptoms that result from impaired venous blood flow in the pelvic region. It occurs when the veins in this area don't work properly, causing blood to build up in the pelvic veins that causes unpleasant symptoms.

What are the possible symptoms of pelvic congestion syndrome?
Who can be affected by pelvic congestion?
It is a venous disease that affects especially women of childbearing age who had, in general, at least one pregnancy. During pregnancy, the veins dilate, which can cause pelvic varices, which can cause very disturbing symptoms.
This is a condition that is unfortunately underdiagnosed at present, as the symptoms can be attributed to other gynecological or pelvic conditions.
It is estimated that this disease would affect up to 30% of women presenting with chronic pelvic pain in which no other obvious pathology is found.
