Patient's question:
I have a colleague who suddenly fainted. She has some kind of vascular disease, occlusive arteritis. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
The condition of occlusive arteritis is relatively severe. If not treated actively, it can easily lead to tissue necrosis in the blood-supply area. It is necessary to promptly visit a regular public hospital's cardiovascular surgery department for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. The specialist doctor will decide on the appropriate conservative or surgical treatment methods based on the actual condition to prevent the disease from worsening. Additionally, maintain a light, low-salt, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet, and avoid smoking and alcohol.
