What to do if a vein is broken

There are two types of blood vessels in our body: veins and arteries. When these two types of blood vessels are constantly running in our body, they ensure our body's health and daily activities. Of course, veins and arteries have different roles and functions. We must pay attention to the care of our blood vessels in our daily lives. If injuries or accidents occur, especially when blood vessels are broken, we must go to the hospital for treatment in time.

What to do if a vein is broken

1. If blood vessels rupture due to various reasons, hematoma may occur. If they are broken, they generally need to be connected. If they are ruptured, they can recover after absorption. It is recommended to apply hot compress when there is no more bleeding to promote the absorption of hematoma.

2. In this case, it should be a small blood vessel rupture, which should not cause any major problems to the body. There will be other blood vessels to establish collateral circulation. In this case, you should pay attention to preventing infection. Avoid eating spicy and fishy foods.

3. It is recommended to go to the surgery department of a regular hospital for a detailed examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, determine the best treatment plan based on your own situation. If necessary, vascular suture surgery can be performed. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy, raw, cold, and irritating foods. Everyone's physical constitution is different, and it is impossible to estimate the recovery time. Generally, it will take about 1 month to recover.

About Veins

1. According to the definition of arteries and veins, arteries are the first blood vessels that blood pumped out of the ventricle passes through, and veins are the last blood vessels that blood passes through when returning to the atrium.

2. From the physiological characteristics of the two, the arterial wall is more elastic and flexible, and the arterial pulsation can be felt in the arteries on the surface of the body, such as the radial artery and the carotid artery; the venous wall is thinner and less elastic than the artery, and the lower limb veins do not have venous valves, so after standing for a long time, the blood returns to the heart under the influence of gravity, which is prone to diseases such as varicose veins.

3. From the position of the two in the human body, arteries and veins usually run together, and most of the veins on the surface of the body are veins, which are the blue blood vessels we see, while arteries are buried deeper, and there are few that are as easy to feel as radial arteries and carotid arteries. From the blood contained in them, the arteries and veins of the human body can be divided into systemic arteries, systemic veins, pulmonary arteries, and pulmonary veins.

4. The veins carry relatively oxygen-deficient dark red blood that returns to the heart after circulating once throughout the body. The pulmonary artery is the opposite of the body's arteries. The oxygen-deficient dark red blood is sent to the lungs, replenished with oxygen, and then brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins. Therefore, the pulmonary artery carries dark red blood, while the pulmonary veins carry bright red fresh blood.
