Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condition described is thrombophlebitis, which involves inflammation of veins and the formation of blood clots. Phlebitis refers to inflammation of veins but does not necessarily involve blood clots. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often occur in the legs, but they do not necessarily involve inflammation or blood clots. Peripheral vascular disorder is a general term that refers to any condition that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart and lungs, and it is not specific to inflammation or blood clots in veins.
