Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Mesenteric venous thrombosis is the formation of a clot in the veins that drain blood from the intestine, which can hinder the normal circulation of that area of the abdomen.

Common symptoms: abdominal pain that may be intense or constant, bloating, nausea, loss of appetite, and, at times, bloody stools or changes in bowel habits.

When to seek care? strong, persistent, or worsening abdominal pain warrants a timely medical evaluation, since it can end up compromising intestinal circulation.

Which specialist treats it? the general surgeon evaluates the abdomen and decides on the course of action, the hematologist studies the clotting disorders that favor the clot, and the proctologist takes part depending on the region affected. In the case of abdominal pain that does not go away, the safest thing is to see a professional without delay.
