Ways To Treat Hyperemia

Take Blood-Thinning Medication

Blood-thinning medication is especially important to help prevent blood clots often associated with deep vein thrombosis and hepatic vein thrombosis. Blood clots are also a by-product of congenital heart defects and heart failure. Hyperemia is a symptom of all of these conditions. By taking blood thinners, patients prevent the clotting that causes the flooding of blood into tissues and veins. Combined with lifestyle changes and a rigorous medical plan, patients should be able to control or eliminate hyperemia. If they can't control their condition, it may mean the medication needs to be adjusted. Thus, patients should be sure to let their doctor know right away if they experience any changes such as unexplained bruising, swelling, soreness, and redness.
