Zhou Congshu didn't take the female patient's main complaint seriously. He went to the medicine shelf and took a box of blood-activating and pain-relieving ointment and handed it to her.
"Go back and post it. If it doesn't work, come back and have a look tomorrow."
Although the female patient was slightly confused as to whether her leg pain was due to fatigue.
But she had to believe what the doctor said. In addition, at this time, she had another thought in her mind. It was just leg pain anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem. If the ointment didn't work, she could come back tomorrow. If it really didn't work, it would still be okay.
Go to a big hospital.
Thinking of this, the female patient was ready to pay, take the medicine and leave.
Neither the doctor nor the patient paid much attention to the pain in the leg.
At this time, only Zhou Yisheng was a little murmuring in his heart.
This female patient is at most thirty years old. How come her legs hurt due to overwork?
During the hesitation, Zhou Sheng was a little wary. He did not go upstairs to eat immediately. Instead, he hid beside his father and secretly opened the system scan.
The female patient paid and asked Zhou Congshu how to use the ointment.
Zhou Congshu taught him a lesson. After the female patient understood, she was ready to leave.
At this moment, Zhou Yisheng called out to her.
"etc!"
The female patient was a little confused. She didn't know why Zhou Sheng called her, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes." Zhou Sheng nodded affirmatively.
The father on the side looked at Zhou Sheng in confusion, "What are you going to do? Why don't you go up to eat?"
Zhou Sheng whispered to his father: "Dad, I guess the problem with this patient's legs is not caused by fatigue."
It turns out that it took only a few minutes.
The system has conducted a comprehensive examination on this female patient.
The female patient suffered from deep vein thrombosis in her left lower limb due to long-term use of oral contraceptives.
Seeing this condition, Zhou Yisheng's heart became tight.
For blood to function in the human body, it must flow smoothly in blood vessels. Thrombus is commonly known as "blood clot". Obviously these "blood clots" can easily block blood vessels and cause poor blood flow.
Usually, deep vein thrombosis is divided into three stages according to the degree of blood vessel transection and obstruction:
Early stage of blockage: When the blood vessel is blocked by 30%, there are no symptoms in the body.
Mid-stage blockage: When the blood vessel is 50% blocked, there are no symptoms in the body.
Late stage of blockage: Symptoms will only appear in the body when the blood vessel blockage reaches 70%.
Although this disease is in the legs, it is not a minor illness.
Because of its complications, pulmonary embolism is very dangerous.
Although the patient's current thrombosis site is the leg.
However, the system has already given a condition prediction that pulmonary embolism will occur in the next 24 hours.
Pulmonary embolism is a bigger problem.
It doesn't simply cause pain. The patient may have difficulty breathing or even suffocate to death.
Some people must be confused.
Why do blood clots in the legs and poor blood flow cause lung problems?
This is more complicated to say.
To put it simply, this starts with the blood circulation of the human body. The blood circulation system of the human body is divided into the arterial system and the venous system. The arterial system is the arterial blood pumped by the heart, which reaches all parts of the body through the aorta and participates in metabolism. The venous system
The venous blood throughout the body passes through the superior and inferior vena cava and finally reaches the pulmonary blood vessels and finally returns to the heart.
The blood clots in the deep veins of the lower limbs will not just stay there obediently. They are likely to break off, travel along the blood flow, and eventually block the blood vessels in the lungs, forming a pulmonary embolism.
When the patient walks or stands, the thrombus in the deep veins of the lower limbs can easily break off and migrate.
After Zhou Sheng read the system inspection report, he immediately knew that the matter was serious.
If the female patient's condition is not told to her today, there is a 100% chance that she will go to the emergency room of a large hospital tomorrow.
Zhou Congshu didn't react after listening to Zhou Sheng's words, "Isn't it just a leg pain? Patients like this often come to the clinic. Go back and put some plaster on it, and it will be fine in a few days. There is no need to make a fuss."
What dad said makes perfect sense.
Most diseases are minor illnesses.
Sometimes, misdiagnosis occurs inadvertently.
However, Zhou Shengsheng had a systematic diagnosis and he was already confident.
"Dad, you see that this patient is so young, it is unlikely that her leg pain is caused by fatigue. And if it is fatigue, she should have symptoms in both legs, instead of one leg being so swollen now.
The other leg did nothing at all."
Zhou Sheng's analysis is very reasonable.
Although Zhou Congshu's medical skills are not very good, he is still a certified Western medicine practitioner. He has been practicing medicine in a clinic for decades. He still has basic clinical experience.
After hearing what Zhou Sheng said, he immediately felt that he was a little inappropriate in saying that the patient's leg pain was caused by fatigue.
"Listening to what you said, the conclusion just now was a bit hasty. This... it seems that there is a problem with the blood vessels or muscles in the legs."
Zhou Sheng nodded, "One lower limb is swollen. I think the deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb must be ruled out first."
Zhou Congshu also agreed at this moment, "If it is deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, the complication of pulmonary embolism is fatal, and this must be taken seriously."
The father and son murmured a few words.
The female patient did not hear everything, but she heard the words "fatal" clearly.
For a moment, she was scared to death.
Her left leg was already feeling uncomfortable, but now her legs and feet went weak, and she sat down on the chair again.
"Doctor, didn't you say that your legs hurt from exhaustion? Why...is it killing me again? Don't scare me!"
Zhou Congshu hurriedly explained: "We now suspect that your leg is caused by deep vein thrombosis of the left lower limb. Our conditions are limited. You need to go to a large hospital for a B-ultrasound examination..."
As soon as the patient heard the name of the disease, he still had a problem with his legs.
And just doubt it.
Her nervousness just now eased a lot.
"Oh, I'm scared to death. I have some things to do this afternoon. How about I go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow?"
Zhou Congshu nodded and said: "Yes, but we have to do it as soon as possible. The complications of this disease are very serious."
Go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.
If there was no systematic disease prediction, Zhou Yisheng would probably agree.
After all, this disease is only dangerous if complications arise.
If there are no complications, it will just be leg discomfort.
If the condition is not serious, it is acceptable to go to the hospital one day late.
But the situation is different now. Zhou Shengsheng already knows that she will be at risk of pulmonary embolism in the next 24 hours.
So it was urgent to go to the hospital.
If pulmonary embolism occurs tomorrow, things will be very serious.
Zhou Sheng thought for a while.
She must be persuaded to go to the hospital immediately.
If you want to convince her, the first step is to change the suspected deep vein thrombosis of the left lower limb into a definite deep vein thrombosis of the left lower limb.
