10 Symptoms Of Thrombophlebitis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Red Lines
Thrombophlebitis will cause our veins and the surrounding area to become red and inflamed. In cases of deep vein thrombosis, we will not usually notice the redness because it will be deep beneath the surface. Superficial thrombophlebitis is when the affected veins are closer to the surface, and these are likely to be visible.
Patients with superficial thrombophlebitis can find that red lines will appear on the skin, and these lines will follow the path of the affected vein. The lines are not necessarily a problem in themselves, but they are still something you should arrange to get checked out regardless of the suspected cause.
