Superficial thrombophlebitis in the puerperium - what does this mean
Superficial thrombophlebitis in the puerperium is a condition that occurs when a vein near the surface of the skin becomes inflamed and a blood clot forms. it is often caused by trauma to the area during childbirth, such as an episiotomy or forceps delivery, and is more common in women who have had multiple pregnancies. symptoms include tenderness, warmth, and swelling in the affected area. treatment typically includes rest, elevation, and anti-inflammatory medications.
What happens during the disease - superficial thrombophlebitis in the puerperium
Superficial thrombophlebitis in the puerperium is a medical condition caused by an inflammatory response to the trauma of delivery. it is believed that the inflammation is caused by a combination of venous stasis, hypercoagulability, and endothelial damage. this leads to the formation of a thrombus in the superficial veins, which can cause pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area.
