What should be done about thromboangiitis obliterans?

Patient's question:

Last October, the second toe began to feel increasingly severe due to the cold weather. Two years ago, my thumb was sent to the hospital for a thorough examination, and it was diagnosed as thromboangiitis obliterans. I would like to ask, what should be done about thromboangiitis obliterans?

Doctor's answer:

Thromboangiitis Obliterans is a common chronic vascular disease. It is more prevalent in young males than in females. Due to sympathetic nerve dysfunction, small artery spasm in the limbs can lead to edema and cerebral edema. The treatment of Thromboangiitis Obliterans primarily involves conservative therapy and antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel. Vasodilators: Bellaplex. Medication can alleviate symptoms for patients. For severe cases of Thromboangiitis Obliterans, interventional treatment is necessary during symptom relief. The purpose of interventional treatment is to expand narrowed or poorly perfused blood vessels, thereby stabilizing peripheral circulation and cellular blood flow. At the same time, quitting smoking and avoiding cold exposure are also essential.
