Pain, numbness, coldness and whitening of the skin of the extremities may indicate the appearance of a blood clot. If such symptoms occur, you need to call an ambulance, not leading to the moment when the motor function is impaired, said the doctor of medical sciences, surgeon Andrey Chupin.
The doctor stressed that a blood clot “cannot fail to make itself known”, therefore, if symptoms occur, it is necessary to consult a doctor. “Even if it just seems to a person that“ something is wrong ”, if the situation is not entirely clear, it is better to play it safe and see a doctor,” RIA Novosti quotes the words of the surgeon.
Chupin noted that diagnosis can be quite difficult, since such symptoms can indicate not only a blood clot, but also a radicular syndrome with numbness of the extremities. Only a specialist can assess the severity of the problem.
The surgeon also explained that if a patient is diagnosed with acute thrombosis, then the only way is thrombectomy, the surgical removal of a blood clot, otherwise the person will lose a limb. However, in cases where the thrombus is not extended or parietal, we can talk about powerful anticoagulant therapy and specific treatment with angioprotectors. “In some cases, thrombolytic drugs are used that dissolve blood clots. It all depends on the specific situation, ”the doctor added.
