A dangerous disease is thrombophlebitis. Treatment.

What is thrombophlebitis? Inflammatory disease of the vein and clogging of its thrombus. Most often happens on the lower limbs. Thrombophlebitis can occur as a serious complication after suffering a serious infectious disease, but more often due to the transition of an inflammatory process from an existing wound to the vein wall. At women it is formed after sorts. Increased blood clotting, changes in the vein wall state, slowed flow of blood through the vessels are those processes that are capable of provoking the appearance and development of thrombophlebitis.

This is a serious disease that requirestimely treatment. Thrombophlebitis is dangerous for complications, especially thrombophlebitis of the face and pelvic veins. In the first case, the inflammatory process can affect the veins of the brain, and in the second - to strike the liver.

Thrombophlebitis can be chronic and acute. Depending on the depth of the affected veins - a superficial and deep thrombophlebitis. Treatment is always prescribed by a doctor and one must strictly adhere to his recommendations.

The most dangerous and activedisease - acute thrombophlebitis. As a rule, it starts suddenly, it develops in a few hours. Ill person experiences acute pain along the vein, limb swells, sharply worsens well-being.

Body temperature rises to 39 degrees, andsometimes higher, the patient is shivering. Then the thrill can subside - go into a chronic form. Virtually always the vein remains clogged, and this leads to difficulty in the outflow of blood from the affected limb, develop edema and often the appearance of veins.

When the first signs of acute thrombophlebitis appear, the patient should be urgently examined by a doctor.

If the disease is not treated (or engaged in self-medication) or late to see a doctor, then in almost ninety-seven cases out of a hundred thrombophlebitis takes on a chronic form.

Long, sluggish, with periodicexacerbations of the disease - chronic thrombophlebitis, whose treatment should also be carried out for the intended purpose and under the supervision of a doctor.

The disease begins with the appearance of painful nodules on the superficial veins of one limb, then suddenly appear on the second. The appearance of nodules may be accompanied by an increase in body temperature. When such signs of the patient appear, it is necessary to put him in bed, put the limb on a small cushion and immediately call a doctor. Before the arrival of doctors do not take any action. Do not massage your foot! Do not rub any ointments. This can provoke an opening of the blood clot!
