Question
I had a small car accident two days ago and sustained a head injury. When the hospital examined my head, they told me I have a venous vascular malformation on my head. Since I didn’t feel any discomfort, I didn’t pay much attention to it. However, I still have some concerns because it’s on my head. How can I be diagnosed with a vascular malformation?
Answer
Vascular malformations typically manifest as red and purple fingers or toes, numbness, and cold pain in patients. In later stages, purulent and purulent symptoms may appear, and in severe cases, it can lead to limb paralysis. This is mainly due to insufficient Qi and blood in the patient, which cannot reach the distal ends of the blood vessels, causing fingers or toes to not receive adequate nutrition and gradually become purulent. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice and undergo X-ray or color Doppler ultrasound to carefully check the specific condition. It is suggested to take additional treatment medications orally as prescribed by the doctor, and for more severe issues, a great saphenous vein bypass surgery may be required.
