Why Does My Blood Vessel Feel Like Theres a Hard Bump?
Feeling hard lumps in blood vessels may be caused by vasculitis, superficial phlebitis, etc. Patients are advised to undergo detailed examinations at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
1.
Vasculitis is a disease based on inflammation and necrosis of blood vessel walls or surrounding tissues, generally associated with infections, tumors, and diffuse connective tissue diseases. Its symptoms vary depending on the location of vascular lesions and may also lead to the phenomenon of hard lumps being felt when touching the blood vessels. Clinically, drug therapy is mainly used. Patients can take methotrexate tablets, indomethacin enteric-coated tablets, etc., as recommended by their doctors. When necessary, surgery can be performed to dilate the obviously stenosed or occluded vasculitis to improve blood circulation.
2.
The main clinical manifestations of superficial phlebitis are local redness, swelling, heat, pain, and cord-like indurations along the blood vessels. Superficial phlebitis is mainly caused by damage to the blood vessel wall, leading to slow blood flow and hypercoagulability, which easily results in hard lumps in the patient's blood vessels. Patients can take medications such as aspirin enteric-coated tablets and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules according to their doctor's advice.
