Common methods for treating phlebitis: Phlebitis is a common peripheral vascular disease, mostly seen in young and middle-aged men. Nowadays, it also occurs frequently in middle-aged and elderly people. When symptoms of phlebitis appear, timely treatment is necessary. Otherwise, as it progresses to later stages, it becomes more difficult to treat and the cost of treatment increases. So, what are the methods for treating phlebitis? Many people are surely interested in this question! Now, let's have the experts from Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Vascular Hospital give everyone a detailed introduction.
1. Drug treatment for phlebitis: Drug treatment can dissolve thrombi, prevent coagulation, disperse aggregation, remove fibrin, reduce viscosity, and dilate blood vessels, which allows the thrombus to dissolve and be absorbed, establishing collateral circulation, thereby enabling venous reperfusion.
a. Anticoagulant treatment: Localized superficial phlebitis generally does not require anticoagulant treatment, but extensive or progressive superficial phlebitis and deep vein thrombosis should be treated with anticoagulants.
b. Severe pain can be treated with analgesics.
c. Inflammation can be treated with antibiotics; suppurative thrombophlebitis should be treated with large amounts of effective antibiotics.
2. General treatment for phlebitis:
a. Prevention is key; limb activity should be initiated early after illness or surgery.
b. Long-term intravenous infusion veins should be regularly changed.
c. For cases of thrombophlebitis, bed rest is required with the affected limb elevated at 30° until pain and swelling subside.
d. Prevent all kinds of infections, guard against trauma, keep the affected limb clean to prevent infection, and avoid aggravation or recurrence of the condition.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment for phlebitis:
TCM treatment for phlebitis can clear heat and dampness, invigorate blood circulation and unblock meridians, warm the kidneys, strengthen the spleen, improve circulatory disorders around the lesion, accelerate hematoma absorption, promote blood return, and has no toxic side effects.
