Thrombosed superficial phlebitis can usually be completely cured with a combination of treatments. The disease is a benign, self-limiting condition, but can recur and persist.
Patients can be treated with physiotherapy, medication and surgery as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Physiotherapy: patients can use hot compresses to promote blood circulation in the lesion area and relieve symptoms.
2. Drug therapy: patients can use medicines such as Herba Mullein Liquid Infusion Tablets, Horse Chestnut Seed Extract Tablets, Calcium Hydroxybenzenesulfonate Capsules and other medicines under the guidance of doctors, and they can also take antithrombotic medicines such as Aspirin and Dipyridamole, and anticoagulants such as low molecular heparin for treatment. The drugs should be applied under the guidance of the doctor.
3. Surgery: If the patient’s symptoms are severe and the effect of physical therapy and medication is unsatisfactory, surgery such as proximal vein ligation and surgical resection can be used for treatment.
Patients suffering from thrombosed superficial phlebitis should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delay and adverse consequences. Regular review should be done after treatment to prevent recurrence.
