OVERVIEW
Phlebitis is the soreness of a vein. Veins are blood vessels in your body that drive blood from organs and limbs back to your heart. If a blood clot is causing the inflammation, it’s called thrombophlebitis. When the blood clot is in a deep vein, it’s called deep vein thrombophlebitis.

PHLEBITIS CAUSES
Phlebitis is caused by injury or irritation to the lining of a blood vessel. In the case of superficial phlebitis, this may be due to :
- Placement of an IV catheter
- Administration of irritating medications into your veins
- A small clot
- An infection
In the case of DVT, the causes may include :
Irritation or injury of a deep vein due to trauma such as surgery, a broken bone, serious injury, or previous DVT
Slowed blood flow due to lack of motion, which may occur if you’re in bed recovering from surgery or travelling for a long period
Blood that is more likely to clot than usual, which may be due to medications, cancer, connective tissue disorders, or inherited blood clotting conditions

Medical treatments
Treatment for superficial phlebitis may include removal of an IV catheter, warm compresses, or antibiotics if an infection is suspected.
To treat DVT, you may need to take anticoagulants, which make it harder for your blood to clot.
If the DVT is very extensive and causes significant problems with blood return in the limb, you may be a candidate for a procedure called a thrombectomy. In this procedure, a surgeon inserts a wire and catheter into the affected vein and either removes the clot, dissolves it with medications that break up the clot, such as tissue plasminogen activators, or performs a combination of both.
PHLEBITIS PREVENTION
If you’re at risk of developing a DVT, there are several ways you can take action to prevent a blood clot from forming. Some key prevention strategies include :
Discussing your risk factors with your doctor, especially before a surgical procedure
Getting up and walking as soon as possible after surgery
Wearing compression socks
Stretching your legs and drinking plenty of water when travelling
Take medications as instructed by your doctor, which may include the blood thinner
