Obliterating endarteritis of lower extremities vessels is a chronic disease of the peripheral vessels of the legs, due to obliteration of small arteries. Narrowing of the vessels on the legs can be observed up to the complete closure of their lumen with the necrosis of the bloodless tissues. Practically only men suffer from obscuring endarteritis.
Today we will examine the symptoms and treatment of this disease with the help of surgery and without surgery, which often becomes a common cause of lower limb amputation in men who have not reached retirement age.

Symptoms of endarteritis of leg vessels
In the initial stages of the disease, patients complain of:
- chilliness,
- numbness in the lower extremities,
- weaknessor stiffness in the area of the fingers, feet.
This is more apparent when walking, reinforced physical work. The toes pale, sometimes become cold to the touch. Then there are pains in the legs, the so-called intermittent claudication , when the patient, due to pain in the calves or feet, is forced to stop and slow down the movement. After a short rest, the pain passes.
It is recommended to visit the surgeon once a quarter as a preventative measure. Be attentive to your body.
Pains are the result of circulatory insufficiency in the muscles during an increased load on them. With the passage of time, the pallor, cyanosis and cooling of the extremities intensify, the pulse on the back artery of the foot stops feeling, the pains sharply increase and take a burning, cruel character, deprive the patient of sleep, do not succumb to the action of anesthetics. On the skin of the foot and fingers appear dark purple spots, which then turn black. Gangrene develops with ulcers leading to a septic state. Often during this period, blood clots form in the arteries, which strengthen necrosis.
The disease can proceed slowly, and can quickly progress - it depends on the conditions of life, proper treatment and nutrition.
Treatment of obliterating endarteritis of the lower extremities
Treatment of the disease must begin with the fact that the patient is obliged to quit smoking. If this condition is not fulfilled, the disease continues to develop at a rapid pace, despite the ongoing treatment.
