Khaberni - Dr. Georgy Trigier, a vascular surgery specialist, indicates that blood clots are an acute condition, unlike varicose veins which develop over the years.
According to him, the solution in this case lies in recognizing the body's signals quickly and never resorting to online advice.
He says: "If a person suspects they have a blood clot, self-diagnosis using forums or social networks is prohibited. Because if varicose veins become inflamed and clot, it is impossible not to notice."
According to the surgeon, if a person has varicose veins, the vein is soft, flexible, and compressible. However, in the event of thrombophlebitis, the vein becomes hard, red, and painful to touch.
In addition, in the case of deep vein thrombosis, the size of the leg increases significantly.
He notes, in this case, it is difficult to move the ankle and knee joints, and all muscle movements become extremely painful. Many patients anticipate some warning signs, but the danger of clotting specifically lies in its sudden occurrence.
