What s the matter with a pit on the leg, what six factors may be caused by a pit on the leg?

Aunt Chen, who is in her 60s, fell in love with sports and fitness after retirement. One day, she went home to rest after exercising, but she suddenly felt unusually stuffy in her chest in the middle of the night, accompanied by bursts of tingling pain in her legs. She got out of bed and moved for a while, but the situation did not get better, and when she lifted her trouser leg, she found that her entire right leg was red and swollen like a thick lotus root, and there was a feeling that it would swell and burst at any time!

Aunt Chen was so panicked that she and her wife hurried to the hospital, and did a vascular ultrasound in the emergency department and found that she was not simply swollen legs, but suffering from acute deep vein thrombosis! Fortunately, after a series of emergencies, Aunt Chen was able to turn the corner!

What are deep veins? What is deep vein thrombosis? What does it have to do with swollen legs? Why is deep vein thrombosis fatal? Let's listen to the experts' explanations

Note: Blood clots can form in veins throughout the body, whether superficial or deep, but are most common in the lower extremities.

What lifestyle habits can cause deep vein thrombosis? Do you have any of these hidden dangers? Come and test it out

Test 1: Water intake test.

Physiologically, each person needs 2,500 milliliters of fluid per day, and if you only count the amount of water you drink, you need at least 1,200 milliliters of water per person per day. If you drink less than 1200 ml, you have an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis.

Drink less water for deep vein thrombosis.

There are three causes of blood clots: stasis, vascular damage, and hypercoagulability. Drinking less water is one of the triggers, because when you drink less water, the blood will be relatively thick, easy to gather into blood clots, and it is easier to form deep vein thrombosis.

If you still don't understand, then take a look at the image presentation of the expert

Test 2: Whether there are varicose veins in the legs.

Varicose veins are another risk factor for deep vein thrombosis! With the help of an infrared detector, detect whether there are varicose veins in the leg blood vessels, if the leg blood vessels are particularly tortuous and the diameter of the blood vessels is particularly thick, it means that the tester has severe varicose veins and is more likely to induce deep vein thrombosis.

Test 3: Venous ultrasound.

The normal velocity of venous blood flow in the lower extremities is 20 30 cm seconds, and the flow rate is less than 20 cm seconds, indicating that the blood flow velocity is slow, which may be related to deep vein thrombosis.

Prevention of deep vein thrombosis.

In order to prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis, experts recommend that you do these three actions more But if you already have deep vein thrombosis, you must not do these actions!

Deep vein thrombosis**.

Once a blood clot has formed, the patient must not move until he or she arrives at the hospital! At the hospital, after the doctor confirms the diagnosis, he will place a filter on the inferior vena cava through the femoral vein or jugular vein to prevent the blood clot from escaping into the heart, and then perform thrombolysis, and finally grab the shrunken blood clot out.

Swollen legs are not trivial, it may be that deep vein thrombosis is fermenting! Drink plenty of water, exercise, and see a doctor early if you notice symptoms can help you stay out of the risk!

Muscles are not elastic, so exercise more.

This condition is called edema of the lower extremities. In general, edema of the feet can be caused by the following reasons:

First, edema is often a signal of heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, endocrine and other diseases.

Second, people who stand or sit for a long time can cause swelling of the lower limbs.

Third, idiopathic edema in women. The disease is more preferential in women, and the onset of women is mostly in the childbearing age, between the ages of 20 and 50 years. Edema tends to be cyclical, and after edema develops to a certain extent, the body can excrete more water and salt from the body, and the edema can be reduced after resting and lying down.

The above are just a variety of possibilities, it is not good to judge you here, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the best, if there is any problem as soon as possible, there is no problem and ask for a rest assured, isn't it.

To be honest, people who are old, after they are old, have no elasticity, pinch a nest, it is too normal, however, this symptom mostly occurs in women, more exercise, more rest will help to alleviate, my grandmother and my mother have this condition, no big deal!

The leg is obviously thicker than usual, and when you press a pit, this is the leg edema. 1. Hypoproteinemia. Hypoproteinemia is mainly due to insufficient protein intake due to lack of attention to a balanced diet, chronic diarrhea or esophageal stricture and other diseases, and the body will not be able to absorb protein nutrients smoothly, second, idiopathic edema.

This condition is more common in women who are menopausal or obese, and may have disorders with hormone metabolism in the body, 3. Right heart failure. 4. Kidney disease. 5. Liver disease.

6. Venous thrombosis.

1. Hypoproteinemia. If you suffer from chronic diarrhea or esophageal stricture, your body will not be able to absorb protein nutrients smoothly due to insufficient protein intake due to a balanced diet.

2. Idiopathic edema 3. Right heart failure.

4. Kidney disease. Kidney disease, such as acute or chronic nephritis, may cause renal edema.

5. Liver disease. Increased pressure in the portal vein and decreased function of the liver increase aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone levels in the body. 6. Venous thrombosis. If the veins in the legs are blocked, and the blood clots increase, the blood circulation function will be affected.

1. Cardiogenic edema . 2. Nephrogenic edema, poor blood flow of the lower limbs or poor kidney function. 3. Allergic edema . 4. Edema caused by cirrhosis. 5. Edema caused by poor blood circulation.

Problem Analysis:

Leg swelling is edema and edema of the lower limbs, and there are many causes of it. 1. Renal edema. In acute nephritis, chronic nephritis or kidney disease, due to the decrease of renal blood flow, sodium and water retention, increased capillary permeability, and too much protein loss in the urine, it will cause the plasma colloidal osmotic pressure to decrease, so that the interstitial space has accumulated and caused edema.

2. Cardiogenic edema. When right heart failure occurs in various heart diseases, the venous pressure rises due to the inability of venous blood to return smoothly, and body fluid leaks into the interstitial space, causing edema. 3. Hepatic edema.

Factors such as liver destruction in cirrhosis, obstruction of portal venous return, increased portal venous pressure, and low plasma albumin in liver failure can cause edema. 4. Dystrophic edema. 5. Localized edema of the lower limbs.

It is mostly caused by the obstruction of the veins and lymphatic vessels of the lower limbs, resulting in the entry of body fluids into the interstitial space, and the embolic phlebitis, lymphangitis, filariasis, pelvic or lower limb tumors compress the veins. It can be seen that there are many causes of leg swelling, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases or one of the symptoms of local diseases of the lower limbs.

Suggestions: Hello, considering that it is caused by heart failure, it is recommended to check the heart color ultrasound to see, and if necessary, it is recommended to be hospitalized for observation**.

Go to a regular big hospital for a check-up.

Swelling of the lower extremities is a symptom suggestive of systemic disease, and the main causes are as follows:

Cardiogenic edema.

When right heart failure occurs in various heart diseases, the venous pressure rises because the venous blood cannot flow smoothly into the left ventricle, which can cause body fluid to leak out and enter the interstitial space, causing edema. The swelling first appears at the ankles and eventually throughout the body.

Renal edema. Acute and chronic nephritis or nephropathy can cause fluid accumulation in the interstitial space due to sodium and water retention when renal blood flow is reduced, increased capillary permeability, and decreased plasma colloidal osmotic pressure caused by too much protein loss in the urine. Although edema is common in the lower limbs, it first appears on the eyelids and face, and then spreads to the lower limbs and the whole body, and is accompanied by symptoms such as oliguria, nocturia, and polyuria.

Hepatic edema. It is mainly caused by the destruction of liver structure during cirrhosis, which obstructs portal venous return and increases portal venous pressure, but it is also related to low plasma albumin in malnutrition and liver failure. Edema generally begins at the ankle and spreads upward, but is most pronounced with significant ascites and rarely affects the upper extremities and face.

Dystrophic edema.

Dystrophy can lead to low plasma albumin and edema. It first appears in the lower extremities, gradually spreads upwards and throughout the body. Edema is preceded by malnutrition, malabsorption, or chronic wasting disease.

Localized lower extremity edema.

It is mostly caused by the obstruction of the veins and lymphatics of the lower extremities, which causes body fluids to enter the interstitial space, such as embolic phlebitis of the lower extremities, lymphangitis, filariasis, and pelvic or lower extremity tumors compressing the veins. Edema usually occurs in one lower extremity and usually does not spread throughout the body.

You're swollen, you can go to the general hospital and see it.
