Experts Analyze: What Are the Symptoms of Thrombophlebitis?
Thrombophlebitis refers to the acute non-purulent inflammation occurring simultaneously with thrombus formation within the venous lumen. It is a common vascular thrombotic disease, primarily affecting superficial and deep veins of the limbs. Thrombi can cause inflammation, and inflammation can also lead to thrombus formation. In recent years, the incidence of thrombophlebitis has been very high. Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand the symptoms of thrombophlebitis so that we can detect and treat it early. Below, we will introduce the symptoms of thrombophlebitis.
1. Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombophlebitis: The early manifestations of deep vein thrombophlebitis include swelling of the affected limb, redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the local skin, which worsen after exertion and alleviate with rest. As the condition progresses, nutritional disorders of the affected limb occur, such as skin itching, scaling, pigmentation turning black, eczema-like dermatitis, and may be accompanied by varicose veins. Later stages see the appearance of long-lasting skin ulcers. Long-term ulcers can lead to skin malignancy, which is a clinical symptom of phlebitis.
2. Clinical Symptoms of Superficial Thrombophlebitis: The initial manifestation of migratory superficial thrombophlebitis includes local skin redness, swelling, heat, and pain, with palpable subcutaneous nodules or cord-like objects, tender to touch. After the inflammation subsides, the skin pigmentation turns black. It can recur multiple times, at unpredictable locations, presenting as migratory.
If the above symptoms appear, please seek medical attention promptly because if thrombophlebitis is not treated in time, it can easily lead to a series of complications. Currently, thrombophlebitis is treated using a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, involving drugs for thrombolysis, anticoagulation, anti-inflammatory effects, and prevention of aggregation.
