What are the dangers of calf thrombosis

If blood clots appear in the calves, it is caused by varicose veins in the lower limbs, which is quite harmful to the patient. In addition to causing soreness and pain, it will also cause the patient's venous walls to become particularly weak, resulting in insufficient blood supply, and damage to muscle and fat tissues. In addition, it is easy to cause edema, eczema, and even ulcers and necrosis.

1. Discomfort and pain

In the early stage of the disease, patients often experience soreness, swelling, discomfort and pain. In the later stage, the damaged veins bulge, expand and become tortuous, with the great saphenous vein in the calf being the most severe.

2. Venous damage.

Patients with long-term varicose veins have weak venous walls. The high venous pressure and insufficient local blood supply cause atrophy of muscle and fat tissue. Varicose veins protrude under the skin and even a slight injury can cause ulcers. Penguins are prone to damage to venous walls.

3. Edema combined with eczema.

Due to venous congestion, tissue edema worsens, leading to eczematous changes in the skin. Factors that cause varicose veins.

4. Ulcers.

The skin is itchy and the patient will scratch it uncontrollably, aggravating the eczema and causing erosions and ulcers. Elderly people in Bingcheng often suffer from skin atrophy, desquamation, itching, pigmentation, nodules on the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and even the formation of eczema and ulcers, which may sometimes be complicated by bleeding and thrombophlebitis.

5. Necrosis.

This type of ulcer often occurs on the upper part of the medial malleolus and the lower 1/3 of the medial side of the calf. Due to insufficient blood supply to the tissue, the tissue around the ulcer becomes thinner, the skin becomes darker and harder, the ulcer does not heal for a long time, and is prone to recurrence after healing.
