biochemical analyzes	prices	Hardware survey	prices
General blood analysis. Assign to determine the clotting substance flow, hemoglobin levels and the presence of inflammatory processes	200-350 rubles	Ultrasound scanning of	2000-2700 rubles
Urinalysis. Designate for the diagnosis of the urogenital system.	250-370 rubles	CT scan	10000
Blood chemistry. Assign to assess the performance of internal organs, determining the level of sugar, cholesterol, urea, reveal a lack of nutrients in the body and metabolic disorders.	3300-3700 rubles	Magnetic resonance imaging	12000

Ultrasound scanning of helping to diagnose vascular pathologies such as:

• reduction of the lumen;
• the presence of blood clots;
• deterioration of the venous valves;
• abnormal thickening of the vessel walls or fineness;
• violation or lack of blood flow in the veins;
• extension unnatural vascular bends.

Diagnosis doctor directs phlebologistAfter the initial examination. Computed tomography (CT) - layer x-ray scanning legs, after introduction of a special substance. In this way a three-dimensional image limb to detect the presence of varicose veins, blood clots and other pathologies.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using a magnetic field instead of X-rays. In addition to the maximum safety for the patient, between the MRI and CT does not make any difference. However, MRI can not be done if there are metallic implants, rods, pins, plates.

Simple diagnosis is performed in community hospitals or clinics or health centers. Specify the presence of experts and related services needed in the region and the city if necessary.

The third method of dealing with the appearance of bursting capillaries - turpentine baths. The method is suitable if there is no large areas of damaged skin, high or low blood pressure.

First, an emulsion:

• 250 ml of mixed turpentine camphor and 40 ml of alcohol;
• topped up with hot water so as to obtain 1 liter;
• stir that the emulsion became homogeneous and white.

Then gaining half standard water bath (37 °), 10 ml of the prepared mixed emulsion and 1 liter of water, stirred to become homogeneous substance, is poured into the bath. I am taking a bath daily, increasing the amount of substance per 2 ml. The procedure should not take more than 15 minutes.

body parts damaged or sensitive skin need to either liberally lubricated with petroleum jelly before taking a bath, or carefully close the plastic wrap. If during the procedure deteriorating health, skin irritation or allergic reaction appears necessary to choose another way.

Other methods

Alternative methods include treatment with a laser, ozone therapy, sclerotherapy and thermocoagulation.

The laser method is expensive, the procedure is carried out in all regions. In bursted vessels through the skin impact beam rays and destroy them. The procedure is done 1 time, as needed. The first week after the laser treatment of the skin color is often different from the healthy to accelerate full recovery prescribe medication.

Sclerotherapy involves the introduction of substances in the capillaries, which leads to bonding vessels. To do this, use a fine needle and the procedure though unpleasant, but not painful.

Ozone therapy is a deep-freezing burst vessels ozone. Vascular walls are gradually destroyed due to biochemical processes. They are caused by the fact that the damaged tissue are oxidized medicines. Procedures are carried out as necessary, to eliminate the need to focus 1 1, a maximum of 2 visits to the doctor.

After thermocoagulation scars remain, but it is the most effective and safe method to remove the broken capillaries. In this method, on the vascular walls affected by high-frequency currents which form high temperature.

There is also a method in which the affected vessels were removed surgically. It is performed vascular surgeons and phlebologists. During ligated venous trunk, the trunk is then removed by special probe. After that all tributaries are removed through an incision and ligated other vessels.

Complete all suturing incisions cosmetic sutures. This is the most radical method to remove all damaged parts, but it is the most traumatic and dangerous, because this method is used only when you need emergency intervention.
