thrombophlebitis

1 answer

Thrombophlebitis is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein, causing inflammation and pain. It usually occurs in the legs, but can also occur in other parts of the body. Treatment for thrombophlebitis may include medication to dissolve the clot, pain relief medication, and compression stockings. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the clot. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect you have thrombophlebitis, as untreated blood clots can lead to serious complications such as pulmonary embolism.
