Strokes are a widespread disease among people nowadays. Strokes take many forms and types. The most common types of blood clots, or blood clots, are blood clotting in the blood vessels, and thus the formation of blood thrombus, which forms in the inner wall of the blood vessels Either because of its weakness or weakness, or because of the accumulation of fat in them, and sometimes the thrombosis may be too small to be felt, or the clot may be too large to be very clear, and can increase the risk of blood clots with the help of the following factors:
- High blood pressure.
- Smoking.
- Diabetes.
- High cholesterol.
Blood clots take three types:
Heart clots, arterial thrombosis, and venous thrombosis.
The clot is the blood clots formed on the internal wall of the veins, causing a partial or total closure of the blood stream in the vein, and can occur in many places of the body, but it often affects the feet, called “deep venous thrombosis, Or “foot clot”, and the foot clot arises in the leg due to a blockage in one of the veins in it, because of the formation of blood clots on the inner wall of the vein, and these clots due to slow in the flow of blood in the vein, or stagnation, resulting from lack of movement and sitting for periods Too long, or because of the human presence of his mattress for a long time, And a high incidence of blood clots, obesity, and oral contraceptives are among the most important factors for the occurrence of a foot clot.
Foot stroke may have several serious complications:
- The growth of the clot becomes extended along the vein, causing it to clog completely.
- Break the blood clot into pieces of blood circulating leading to the arrival to the heart or lungs and stagnation there causing the occurrence of so-called “thrombophlebitis.”
- Inflammation of the vein associated with blood clotting, and in some cases may reach the inflammation of the superficial or deep leg veins.
- People with a foot stroke have the following symptoms:
- Swelling occurs in one or both legs.
- Feeling of foot pain.
- Feeling of leg pain.
- Redness and elevation of the skin temperature in the affected leg.
- A red tumor develops below the skin so that it is painful to touch.
- Falling body temperature.
- The area of the ankle and foot becomes pale so that the temperature drops to cold due to the low blood flow to the area. When neglected and left untreated, the foot will wear blue as the area becomes colder.
