How to treat migratory thrombophlebitis? Migratory thrombophlebitis refers to recurrent superficial phlebitis that occurs in various parts of the body. Once migratory thrombophlebitis occurs, it must be taken seriously and actively treated because its occurrence is often a sign of visceral cancer. In addition, it can also be an early sign of thromboangiitis obliterans. Therefore, how to treat migratory thrombophlebitis well is particularly important. Let's take a closer look below.
Currently, there are no effective treatments for migratory thrombophlebitis. During the acute phase of migratory thrombophlebitis, mainly symptomatic treatment is applied, such as warm compresses locally, wrapping the affected limb with elastic bandages or wearing elastic stockings. Additionally, medications like Butazolidin (three times daily, 100mg each time) or Cortisone (three times daily, 5-10mg each time) can be administered for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Treatment for Migratory Thrombophlebitis:
(1) Damp-Heat Type: This corresponds to the acute stage of the disease. Oral administration of heat-clearing and dampness-removing agents, along with blood-activating and stasis-resolving decoctions, such as modified Si Miao Yong An Tang or modified Yin Chen Chi Xiao Dou Tang, can be used. External application of anti-inflammatory ointments may also be beneficial.
(2) Blood Stasis Type: This corresponds to the chronic stage of the disease. The main treatment focuses on blood activation, stasis resolution, meridian unblocking, and knot dispersal. Internal administration of blood-activating and pulse-promoting decoctions, combined with Four Insect Pills, blood-activating and pulse-promoting tablets, and knot-dispersing tablets, can be used. When this condition is a symptom of thromboangiitis obliterans, differential diagnosis and treatment for thromboangiitis obliterans should be carried out.
Migratory thrombophlebitis tends to recur easily. Most patients can achieve relief after timely and correct treatment. To prevent recurrence, infections within the body, such as tonsillitis or dental cavities, should be treated simultaneously. Patients should quit smoking completely, strengthen physical exercise, and enhance their immune capabilities. If the condition is a complication of thromboangiitis obliterans, repeated episodes indicate active disease progression. Severe cases may have poor limb prognosis. If it is a complication of visceral cancer, the prognosis depends on the treatment results of the primary disease.
