What symptoms do I need to see vascular surgery when the body develops? How can I prevent blood vessel injuries?

In the 19th century, the famous French doctor Casanis once said: "Man lives with the artery

Sedentary, staying up late and working overtime, stress and anxiety.

9 cases depend on vascular surgery

Vascular surgery is responsible for angiogenesis diseases throughout the circulatory system except the heart

1

The limbs are cold, numb, and painful

Because the arteries supplying the limb are affected by plaque or thrombotic lesions, the blood vessels become narrow, resulting in pale, numb, muscle pain, and severe ischemia necrosis

2

Swelling of the limbs

If there is sudden swelling, tenderness, and changes in skin temperature and color in one limb, it is necessary to be wary of deep vein thrombosis

Varicose veins of the lower extremities are accompanied by swelling of the lower extremities, and the fatigue of the lower extremities occurs after standing for a long time, which may be the insufficiency of the deep vein valves of

Local flaky erythema, redness and swelling, burning pain, be vigilant for lymphatic infection and obstruction

3

Rupture of the limb or toe

When there is a severe disturbance of blood circulation, the limb or toe of the patient can rupture, especially in

4

The pulse weakens and disappears

Weak or untouchable pulse pulse on one or both sides often indicates compression or occlusion of the upper extremity arteries, and patients are often accompanied by upper extremity ischemia, such as limb weakness, pain numbness, pallor of nails, or cyanosis

5

Pulsatile mass

This is a manifestation of aneurysms, and there is a risk of

6

Arterial plaque is found

Plaques can cause narrowing of the lumen of the arteries, or even occlusion, seriously affecting the blood supply to tissues, unstable plaques will rupture, causing acute vascular occlusion, and in severe cases, life-threatening

7

varicosity

Varicose veins can occur in many parts of the body, varicose veins of the lower extremities should be treated in vascular surgery, gastric base-esophageal varices should be treated in gastroenterology, and varicocele should be examined

8

Venous thrombosis

If a deep vein thrombosis is formed in the lower extremities, the inguinal area, popliteal fossa, and/or calf muscles of the lower extremities on one side of the patient will suddenly swell, pain, and decrease in skin temperature, often occurring in people

9

Small stroke, stroke

Sudden symptoms such as blurred eyes, limb movement disorders, aphasia, and crooked corners of the mouth can be recovered on their own, called "small stroke", but this is often a precursor and red flag

There are 3 "high-risk sections" of blood vessels throughout the body

The blood vessels of the human body are like roads, and in the eyes of doctors, there are 3 "high-risk road sections", which are easy to cause fatal dangers

Blood vessels in the lower extremities

The lower limbs are the farthest from the heart, and the blood flows upstream, the risk of vascular endothelial damage is large, and cholesterol is easy to deposit in the blood vessels of the lower limbs and block the blood vessels
.

The early onset of incognitosis of blood vessel blockage in the lower extremities is mainly manifested as intermittent claudication, and in the middle and late stages, plaques will "paste" the blood vessels, causing severe pain in the affected limb and even necrosis
.

carotid

The carotid artery system connects the heart to the brain, and clinical studies have confirmed that 50% to 75% of ischemic strokes are caused
by their lesions.
Pre-lesion warning signs include language impairment, decreased comprehension, uncoordinated hands and feet, and sudden blackening in front of the eyes, which can generally be relieved
after a few minutes.

Screening is recommended for those who meet one of the following conditions: age >75 years, left coronary artery lesions, severe peripheral artery disease, transient ischemic attack or stroke, carotid bruit.

coronary artery

Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply blood to the heart, and if blockages or stenosis occur, the blood supply to the heart is limited
.
Persistent chest pain indicates that the coronary arteries are completely blocked, which can lead to myocardial infarction
.

If the stenosis rate exceeds 50%, coronary heart disease can be diagnosed, and stable symptoms
of angina such as chest tightness and chest pain after activity may occur.

The blood vessels in the body are "a system", and when the blood vessels in one place appear to be hardened, narrowed, or blocked, it may mean that the blood vessels in other parts are not very good, and it is recommended to do a comprehensive blood vessel examination
.

How to prevent blood vessels from being "injured"?

Vascular disease does not occur at an age, and as long as you prevent it in advance, you can avoid most of the risks
.

Control 3 indicators

At any age, blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar should be controlled within reasonable ranges
.
Once the indicators are abnormal, you should adjust your lifestyle or help the indicators gradually return to normal levels
under the guidance of a doctor.

Learn to be picky eaters first

Eat less or no high-cholesterol, high-sugar foods, put less oil in cooking, and eat no more than 5 grams
of salt per day.

Eat foods rich in vitamin C (such as fresh vegetables, melons and fruits) and plant proteins (such as beans and their products
).
Eat less livestock, eat poultry appropriately, and eat fish
every week.

People over the age of 40, even if there is no abnormality in blood lipids, should avoid eating foods with animal fats and cholesterol, such as animal offal
.

Try quitting smoking and alcohol

Nicotine and tar in tobacco will stimulate blood vessels, causing the endometrium of blood vessels to grow and hypertrophy, reduce elasticity, and then form blood clots, so that the vascular cavity is occluded; Long-term alcohol consumption can also increase the incidence
of cardiovascular accidents.

Regular exercise can not be less

Insist on doing at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise
per week.
Or exercise at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes and a heartbeat of 130 beats
per minute.
Walking, cycling, swimming, jogging etc are all good choices
.

Rest well and don't get angry

When angry, the human body secretes "catecholamines", which stimulates blood vessels to grow plaques; Excessive emotions can cause existing plaques to rupture and form blood clots
.

Maintaining adequate sleep time for 7 to 8 hours, sleeping too much or too little is not conducive to vascular health
.

Check your blood vessels regularly

High-risk groups and people over 65 years of age without any symptoms should be screened for blood vessels once a year; If hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, etc.
have already occurred, the screening time
should be shortened.

People who have found signs of vascular diseases should be diagnosed and treated early, and the indicators should be controlled within the ideal range according to the doctor's instructions; In addition to medication, you can also try TCM, exercise, diet improvement, meditation, yoga and other methods
