Treatment of trophic ulcers of venous origin
Trophic ulcers of the leg are a pathology known since ancient times. It has always been a big problem for both the patient and the doctor. This is due to the difficulty of their treatment, because they are often difficult to heal, and sometimes do not heal. Which leads to their enlargement, deepening and infection. Such ulcers cause severe, sometimes constant pain, which is difficult to relieve with conventional painkillers. Patients suffering from trophic ulcers can be said to become disabled. Complications such as thrombophlebitis of varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities become more likely in the presence of infected ulcers.
The cost of a consultation with an ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities is 3000 rubles. with subsequent treatment of trophic ulcers immediately.
Today, based on my twenty-four years of experience in treating these ulcers with sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy, I can say that it is possible to achieve complete healing in 98% of cases, within two to ten weeks and with a small percentage of relapses, both in the near future and in the very distant future. The above also applies to patients suffering from such concomitant diseases as type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke, and post-stroke conditions.
The data from foreign authors confirm the reliability of the results I have presented.
Foam sclerotherapy is an easy, safe, painless, and, compared to other methods, a faster and cheaper method of treatment.
More examples of treatment of trophic ulcers can be seen in the gallery.
Treatment of one trophic ulcer depends on the area and ulcer depth and can vary from 30,000 to 90,000 rubles. with observation for 6 months.
Foam sclerotherapy is performed on an outpatient basis, without anesthesia. The procedure involves administering the drug with thin needles, after preliminary treatment of the skin with anesthetic creams, which makes it painless. The combination of foam sclerotherapy with platelet-rich plasma treatment relieves the patient from excruciating pain and accelerates healing. There are no restrictions after the procedure, the patient continues his life as usual.
The procedure lasts from 40 to 60 minutes, after which it is recommended to walk briskly for half an hour. A follow-up examination is carried out every 5-7 days. The course of treatment lasts on average from four to ten weeks, depending on the depth, area and concomitant diseases. With ulcers of mixed etiology, healing occurs more slowly and these terms increase. Successful treatment of trophic ulcers involves getting rid of the cause of their occurrence, quick relief from excruciating pain and rapid healing.
In addition to ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy and conventional dressings, the patient does not receive any other therapy (except for the treatment of concomitant diseases).
To achieve a good and quick effect, we treat the cause of the ulcer, that is, varicose veins and the ulcer itself at the same time.
