The surgeon spoke about the deadly danger of thrombosis

Thrombosis is an acute condition, unlike varicose veins, which develop over the years. The surgeon of the Russian Railways Medicine Limb Rescue Center and the Medsi Center, Georgy Treiger, told about this on Wednesday, February 18.

According to the expert, the main thing in this situation is to recognize the body's signals in time and in no case go online for advice.

"If thrombosis is suspected, it is forbidden to engage in self-diagnosis using forums or neural networks. If a varicose vein becomes inflamed and clots, it is impossible not to notice," he said in an interview with Radio 1.

According to Trager, if a person has varicose veins, then the vein can be crushed — it is soft and elastic. But if thrombophlebitis occurs, the vein becomes dense and red, and it hurts to touch it.

If we talk about thrombosis of the veins that are deeper, then the leg increases dramatically in volume, RT reports.

He added that in this case it is difficult to move in the ankle and knee joints. All muscle movements become sharply painful. The doctor added that many patients are waiting for some kind of harbingers, but the insidiousness of thrombosis lies precisely in its suddenness.

We are talking about people with a sedentary lifestyle and with varicose veins. 360.ru .
