Phlebitis is an inflammation of the venous wall, most commonly occurring in the lower extremities. The condition can be either independent or a complication of varicose veins, injuries, injections, or infections. Without treatment, phlebitis can progress to thrombophlebitis, a condition accompanied by the formation of blood clots, increasing the risk of complications, including thromboembolism.

🔹 Main symptoms of phlebitis:
Redness and tenderness along the vein
Hardening or "cord" under the skin
Swelling of the limb
Increased local temperature
Burning sensation or heaviness
🔹 Types of phlebitis:
Superficial phlebitis — affects superficial veins, often accompanies varicose veins.
Deep phlebitis (phlebothrombosis) — inflammation of deep veins, requires urgent treatment.
Post-injection phlebitis — occurs after intravenous infusions or catheterization.
Methods of treating phlebitis
Treatment depends on the location, cause, and stage of the disease. It generally includes medication therapy, local treatment, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes.
✅ Medication treatment includes:
1. Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling:
Diclofenac
Ibuprofen
Ketoprofen
2. Venotonics (angioprotectors)
Strengthen vessel walls, improve venous outflow:
Diosmin (Detralex, Phlebodia)
Troxerutin (Troxevasin)
Aescusan (horse chestnut-based)
3. Anticoagulants
Prescribed for the risk of thrombosis:
Heparin (intravenously or subcutaneously)
Enoxaparin (Clexane)
Warfarin, Rivaroxaban — orally for deep forms
4. Topical preparations
Applied as gels and ointments to reduce inflammation and improve microcirculation:
Heparin ointment
Lioton gel
Troxevasin gel
Indovazin
Additional methods
Compression therapy — wearing elastic bandages or medical compression garments (stockings, socks) to improve venous outflow.
Physiotherapy — UHF, magnetotherapy, laser therapy help reduce inflammation.
Rest and elevated limb position — reduce swelling and venous load.
Important to know
Phlebitis requires mandatory consultation with a phlebologist. Self-treatment can lead to dangerous complications. This is especially true for deep forms, which may present with minimal symptoms but pose a high risk to life.
