Patients with phlebitis probably all know that if this disease is not treated in time or is improperly treated, due to the severe ischemia of the affected limb in later stages, ulcers or gangrene may occur at the extremities, usually starting from the toes and gradually spreading upward. Many non-specialist hospitals will only suggest amputation for patients, but can amputation truly solve the problem?
Phlebitis is mainly caused by vascular occlusion, leading to limb ischemia, and amputation cannot improve the symptoms of limb ischemia. Phlebitis is easiest to treat in its early stages, with the best results and least likelihood of recurrence, so it is important to pay attention to the early symptoms of phlebitis.
In the early stage of phlebitis, symptoms such as coldness, fear of cold, numbness, mild pain, and intermittent claudication appear at the extremities of the limbs. The skin color at the extremities becomes pale, the skin temperature is low, and the peripheral arterial pulsation weakens or disappears, among other early warning signs. However, people often overlook these symptoms and do not take them seriously. As a result, the condition progresses to the middle stage, where various symptoms worsen and are accompanied by rest pain, severe pain at night, sitting with feet hugged, and difficulty sleeping all night. The foot shows signs of nutritional disorders, with pale, red, purplish-red, or bluish-purple skin, reduced or absent sweating, deformed nail growth, hair loss or sparse hair, often accompanied by calf muscle atrophy and disappearance of peripheral arterial pulses. At this point, patients cannot tolerate the pain and begin seeking medical help. However, treatment outcomes are often unsatisfactory. It is crucial to pay attention to the early symptoms of phlebitis, as prompt treatment in the early stage can achieve the best therapeutic effect.
Phlebitis is an ischemic vascular lesion. If not professionally treated in the early stages, professional treatment at a specialized hospital is required in the middle and late stages to improve the ischemia of the affected limb. Shanxi Yikang Vasculitis Hospital specializes in treating thromboangiitis obliterans, using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine through conservative treatments involving intravenous and arterial administration. Traditional Chinese medicine uses blood-activating and stasis-dissolving drugs, while Western medicine employs vasodilator and softening agents to ensure effective treatment for phlebitis patients, thus avoiding amputation.
It is essential to pay attention to the early symptoms of phlebitis to prevent the pain and suffering associated with advanced stages. Treatment in the early stages is also relatively easier. Therefore, patients showing early symptoms of phlebitis should not ignore these important early signals!
