How to judge whether you have a thrombus? How harmful is thrombus to the body?

Thrombosis refers to some small groups formed by insoluble fibrin, blood cells and blood cells under the action of coagulation system. The harm of thrombus to human body mainly depends on the location of thrombus and the blockage of capillary. Thrombosis can be divided into venous thrombosis and aortic thrombosis. Generally, venous thrombosis is less harmful immediately, which only leads to venous reflux obstruction and hematocele. Aortic thrombosis can cause fatal and serious injuries.

The most common venous thrombosis is deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, which is more common in some patients who stay in bed for a long time (such as patients after fracture surgery) and cancer. After deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, there will be different sizes of left and right legs, and the thrombosis leg will be obviously swollen. If edema appears in one leg, venous thrombosis should be suspected, and color Doppler ultrasound examination of veins in lower limbs should be done to make it more clear. The harm of aortic thrombosis is relatively great, which will affect the blood supply of aorta and lead to ischemia and hypoxia of human organs below the blocked part of aorta. For example, arterial thrombosis in the lower limbs will cause insufficient blood supply to the arteries in the legs, intermittent claudication and even atrophy of the legs. If there is aortic thrombosis in coronary artery, it may cause acute myocardial infarction; Thrombosis of cerebral artery can cause cerebral infarction; Thrombosis in pulmonary artery can cause pulmonary embolism and even pulmonary infarction. Aortic thrombosis is generally ischemic, such as leg ischemia will have chills, pain and discomfort; Cerebral capillary ischemia can lead to headache and dizziness, and in severe cases, severe manifestations such as syncope, urinary incontinence and choking on drinking water can occur. Heart ischemia is myocardial infarction, chest pain, chest tightness and shortness of breath are undoubtedly possessed!

Venous vascular thrombosis generally blocks venous return, which is common for venous thrombosis of lower limbs, showing edema and swelling of legs! Sitting for a long time panting; Sudden dyspnea after staying in bed. It can be relieved after rest. After daily life or mild activities, the symptoms are obviously aggravated. Such a thing is a precursor to pulmonary embolism, so we must go to the hospital respiratory department as soon as possible. Thrombosis in the limbs will hinder the limbs, blood night. It will swell after a long time, so be careful. Sleeping at night, drooling, especially the elderly, must be careful of thrombosis! Let's start with venous thrombosis. The main manifestations are swelling and functional problems of blood reflux, accompanied by pain. The most common deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs is swelling of lower limbs with pain.
