Symptoms of leg 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 leg phlebitis

First, for this disease, its clinical manifestations depend on the extent of arterial obstruction and collateral circulation compensation. It can be divided into three periods. The first type 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.

Second, in the dystrophic period, in addition to the aggravation of vasospasm, there are also obvious thickening of vascular walls to form snow mountains. 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 continuous pain at the end of the limbs, especially at night, It often leads to insomnia all night. In order to relieve the pain, patients can put the affected limb under the bed to increase the blood supply to relieve the pain.

Third: the third period is the bad foot period. In this period, the patient's artery is completely occluded, and the pictographic appearance of the distal part of our limbs occurs. 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 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.
