Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had a fistulectomy surgery. I was given an IV for two days. It was attached to my right wrist, and it was removed after two days. On that spot, where the injection was inserted, a very small, painless lump sort of thing formed.
It is already 39 days after surgery, but that small, painless lump is still there. What is the reason for this? What should I do to get rid of it?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please relax and do not worry.
It is thrombophlebitis of the superficial veins where your IV was attached. I suggest you apply Thrombophob ointment (Heparin sodium) three times a day on the swelling for seven days. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicine with consent.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
