Buerger's Disease Treatment

Buerger's disease is a vascular disease that occurs due to deterioration and occlusion of the artery structure, manifested by pain and wounds in the hands and feet. Due to these problems in the veins, gangrene may occur because the limbs are not adequately nourished. In this disease, which is more common in young men and smokers, severe pain and non-healing wounds seriously affect the patient's life. Other symptoms of Buerger's disease include bruising in the fingers and feeling cold in the hands and feet.

Buerger's Disease Risk Groups

Before mentioning the risk groups for Buerger disease, the disease is more common in Southwest Asia and the Middle East. Buerger's disease, which is seen at a high rate in individuals between the ages of 30-50, is more common in people who smoke or what we call passive smokers.

The first important step in the treatment of Buerger's disease is for the patient to quit smoking. Symptoms may disappear after the patient quits smoking. In addition to drug therapy, successful results are obtained in the treatment of Buerger's disease with sympathectomy surgeries when necessary. The point that should be emphasized here is that the patient should apply early and receive the necessary treatment.
