Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of a leg thrombosis in a postpartum woman?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent migratory thrombophlebitis of superficial veins in the calf or foot,red cord-like nodules, accompanied by mild pain. After acute episodes lasting 2-3 weeks, the symptoms subside, leaving behind hyperpigmentation. One area heals on its own, while another becomes affected. The affected limb may feel cold and sensitive to cold, especially at the fingertips/toes. Due to ischemia affecting the peripheral nerves, the limb may exhibit abnormal sensations such as pain, tingling, numbness, or burning.
