Symptoms of superficial phlebitis

summary

Let's learn about superficial phlebitis. Superficial phlebitis is a type of thrombophlebitis, also known as vasculitis. This disease is due to chronic, progressive non suppurative inflammation and occlusive lesions in our peripheral vessels, mainly in the blood vessels of our lower extremities, and the incidence rate is relatively high in northern China. Generally seen in long-term smoking among young men, for this disease, its etiology is not clear, but with smoking, cold weather, there is a certain relationship. Now let's share with you.

Symptoms of superficial phlebitis

For this kind of disease, its clinical manifestations depend on the extent of arterial obstruction and collateral circulation compensation. It can be divided into three periods. The first one is local ischemic type. This period is mainly for shoes. Recently, it is characterized by insufficient blood supply to the limbs, cold collateral branches, fear of cold, and numbness, However, when walking for a certain distance, the patient is in pain and needs to rest for a few minutes to relieve the pain, but the pain may appear after walking.

In the dystrophic period, in addition to the aggravation of vasospasm, there is also obvious thickening of vascular wall to form snow mountain. At this time, we must pay attention to rest, and rest does not necessarily meet the blood supply of our local tissues. There will be persistent pain at the end of the limbs, especially at night, which often leads to insomnia, Patients can place the affected limb under the bed to increase blood supply to relieve pain.

The third period is the bad foot period. In this period, the patient's artery is completely occluded, and pictographic appearance appears at the distal end of our limbs. The dry gangrene and necrotic tissue can fall off by itself, forming ulcers that can not be cured for a long time. When secondary infection occurs, dishonest bad feet may also appear, often accompanied by systemic infection and poisoning.

matters needing attention

For this kind of disease, its treatment principle is to first use vasospasm, promote our collateral circulation, establish and prevent local infection, try our best to save our limbs and reduce the degree of disability. The main treatment is drug therapy. Drugs are generally low molecular weight, glycosides or broad-spectrum antibiotics, Some serious patients also need to take some surgical treatment.
