OREANDA-NEWS. Doctor of Medical Sciences, Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery, N.N. A.V. Vishnevsky Ministry of Health of Russia Andrey Chupin on February 10 said that at the first symptoms of a blood clot, you should immediately seek medical help, and not bring it to the point of impaired motor function.

“A thrombus cannot but declare itself: pain, numbness and coldness of the extremities, whitening of the skin. It is important not to neglect these symptoms and not bring them to the point where the motor function of the limb is impaired, but call an ambulance. Even if it just seems to a person that “something is not right,” if the situation is not entirely clear, it’s better to play it safe and see a doctor, ”Chupin said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

He stressed that the diagnosis of thrombosis is very difficult. Since similar symptoms can also occur with radicular syndrome with numbness of the extremities.

If thrombosis is detected, the doctor, depending on the specific situation, may prescribe either therapy, or treatment, or surgery.
