Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Thrombophlebitis?
Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of blood vessels that causes a blood clot to form and block one or more veins, typically in the legs. This can occur in surface veins or deep veins.
Typical Symptoms of Thrombophlebitis
- Skin hardening
- Swelling of the affected area
- Pain in the arms and/or legs
- Fever
- Muscle pain in the limbs when pressed or squeezed
Diagnostic Questions for Thrombophlebitis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have skin hardening?
- Is the affected area swollen?
- Do your arms and/or legs hurt?
- Do you have a fever?
- Do you feel pain in your arm and leg when they are grasped?
Treatment of Thrombophlebitis
Surface vein thrombophlebitis is usually treated with anti-inflammatory medications and antibiotics. Applying compression using compressive garments and elevating the limb provides relief. The clot in the deep veins might need additional treatment with blood-thinning drugs.
