What are the symptoms of phlebitis patients? Thrombophlebitis, also known as phlebitis, refers to the inflammation of venous vessels. Depending on the location of the lesion, phlebitis can be divided into superficial phlebitis and deep phlebitis. Phlebitis is relatively common in clinical practice and causes great inconvenience to patients' lives and work. If we know the symptoms of phlebitis in advance, we can detect it in time, treat it early, and get rid of the pain of the disease earlier. So what are the symptoms of phlebitis patients? Below, we will invite experts from Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Vascular Hospital for a detailed analysis.
Symptoms of superficial thrombophlebitis:
Superficial thrombophlebitis can be further divided into limb superficial thrombophlebitis, chest wall thrombophlebitis, and migratory thrombophlebitis. Superficial thrombophlebitis usually occurs in the superficial veins of the limbs or chest. Along the superficial veins, there is a hard cord-like swelling and pain, ranging from 2-5 centimeters short to long like willow branches, with obvious tenderness. Around the vein, some may have redness, swelling, and heat inflammatory reactions. After about 2-4 weeks, the acute symptoms gradually subside, leaving adhesions with the skin in a strip-like pattern or gray-brown pigmentation. Generally, there is no edema in the affected limb, and no systemic symptoms.
Symptoms of deep vein thrombophlebitis:
Deep vein thrombophlebitis usually occurs in the deep veins of the lower extremities and pelvis, also known as deep vein thrombosis, commonly referred to as deep vein inflammation by laypeople. The symptoms of deep vein inflammation mainly manifest in the calf, femoral vein, and iliac vein of the lower extremities. The former leads to swelling of the calf, while the latter primarily causes swelling of the thigh. The affected limb swells cylindrically, accompanied by pain, which worsens when walking. There are pressure marks at the distal end, the skin appears slightly gray-purple, and the superficial veins are significantly dilated. After about 1-2 months, the swelling and pain in the affected limb may gradually ease, but the swelling often fluctuates throughout the day depending on activity levels. In a few cases, it turns into chronic venous return obstruction, leading to varicose veins in the superficial veins of the affected limb, thrombophlebitis around the superficial veins, and even congestive leg ulcers and infections.
