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 requires timely 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 - superficial and deep thrombophlebitis. Treatment is always prescribed by a doctor and one must strictly adhere to his recommendations.

The most dangerous and active disease is acute thrombophlebitis. As a rule, it starts suddenly, it develops in a few hours. The ill person experiences acute pain along the vein, the limb swells, the well-being deteriorates.

The body temperature rises to 39 degrees, and sometimes even 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, edema develops and often the appearance of veins. When the first signs of acute thrombophlebitis appear, the patient should be examined urgently by the doctor.

In some cases, the patient may be hospitalized. With timely access to a doctor and the treatment carried out, the inflammation can be localized within a few days. If the disease is not treated (or engaged in self-treatment) or late to see a doctor, then in almost ninety-seven cases out of a hundred thrombophlebitis takes a chronic form.

Prolonged, sluggish, with periodic exacerbations of the disease - chronic thrombophlebitis, whose treatment should also be carried out according to prescription and under the supervision of a doctor. We call you again and again - do not self-medicate! Do not take medications that your doctor prescribed to your neighbor. This can lead to irreparable consequences.

To special forms of this insidious disease can be attributed migratory thrombophlebitis. Treatment of this form of the disease should be started as soon as possible. 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 can be accompanied by an increase in body temperature. At occurrence of such signs of the patient it is necessary to lay in bed, finiteness to lay on a small platen and immediately to call the doctor. Do not take any action before the doctors arrive. Do not massage your foot! Do not rub any ointments. This can provoke an opening of the blood clot!

In chronic thrombophlebitis, it is recommended to wear elastic stockings constantly or use elastic bandage, visit exercise therapy. If you are diagnosed with "thrombophlebitis," treatment at the resort is allowed at least six months after the removal of an acute attack.
