Doctor of Medical Sciences, Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery, N.N. A.V. Vishnevsky Ministry of Health of Russia Andrey Chupin told how to determine the appearance of a blood clot. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“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, ”he said.

According to the expert, even if it just seems to a person that something is wrong with him, it is better to play it safe and consult a doctor.

Chupin also noted that such symptoms can indicate not only a blood clot, but also a radicular syndrome with numbness of the extremities.

If the diagnosis confirms acute thrombosis, then an operation will have to be performed, otherwise the patient will lose a limb. In the case of a parietal or non-extended thrombus, it can be cured with the help of powerful anticoagulant therapy and specific treatment with angioprotectors.

Earlier, the cardiologist called the unexpected cause of the formation of a blood clot.
