Reticulum

Reticulation of subcutaneous veins is one of the clinical symptoms of thrombophlebitis. This disease is a venous disease characterized by acute non-purulent inflammation of the vein wall and intraluminal thrombosis. The main causes are slow blood flow and vortex formation, increased blood coagulation, and endometrial damage. It is clinically divided into superficial thrombophlebitis and deep vein thrombosis. It should be distinguished from venous edema and lymphedema. Limiting thrombosis and inflammation; eliminating swelling and restoring venous function as much as possible; preventing the development of fatal pulmonary embolism is the main purpose of treating this disease.
