10 Symptoms Of Thrombophlebitis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Hard Cords
Our blood vessels are made from pretty strong stuff, but they still need to be flexible. As such, you can easily press down on your blood vessels that are near the surface and they will give way with ease. This is not always going to be the case in patients that are suffering from thrombophlebitis, however.
The inflammation caused by the condition can cause the veins to become harder than usual. This results in cord-like structures beneath the skin that are harder to the touch than healthy veins are. If you do notice anything wrong with your veins that doesn’t seem right, make sure to speak to a doctor.
