Thrombosis is a serious condition in which peripheral veins become thrombosed, blood clots form in their cavities, blood circulation slows down, inevitably leading to limb damage.
Causes
Blood vessels thrombose in those suffering from cardiovascular diseases, vascular diseases. Factors that may contribute to the onset of thrombosis include trauma, smoking, pregnancy, advanced age, surgical intervention, prolonged sitting or standing, and the use of medications that increase blood clotting, as well as severe bone fractures.
Symptoms of Vessel Thrombosis in Israel
The danger of thrombosis lies in the fact that in the initial stage, this condition goes unnoticed by the patient. It manifests suddenly – the patient experiences sharp pain in the affected limb, accompanied by swelling and a sensation that the limb is being inflated from within. The external manifestation of the disease depends on how deeply the thrombosed vein is located, its size, and the size of the clots.
Diagnosis of Vessel Thrombosis in Israel
Modern medicine in Israel has all the technical means to successfully diagnose vessel thrombosis. In the initial stage of investigations, tourniquet and marching tests are performed, indicating the presence of clots in the deep veins. To determine normal blood circulation, Doppler ultrasound of the veins, contrast phlebography, and various types of scanning (radionuclide, duplex) are conducted.
Treatment of Vessel Thrombosis in Israel
In Israel, several methods of treating vessel thrombosis are practiced, which are prescribed according to the form and severity of the disease. The traditional method is drug treatment with injections of heparin and capsules of anticoagulants. For the removal of larger clots, thrombolysis – the introduction of a catheter with a dissolving substance into the vessel – is well-suited. In advanced and complicated cases of the disease, surgery is performed, during which the veins are sewn or completely removed from the affected areas. In some cases, the installation of a cava filter, which traps clots, is an effective method. The introduction of the filter into the vein does not require surgical intervention. Additionally, a special diet high in vitamins K and C is prescribed for the treatment of venous thrombosis.
Prevention
To prevent the development of thrombosis, it is important to move more and not remain in one position for too long to ensure normal blood circulation. During hot weather, it is necessary to drink plenty of fluids to help thin the blood. And, of course, timely treatment of varicose veins is essential.
