Buerger’s Disease – Gangrene of Hands & Feet
Understanding & Treating a Rare Vascular Condition
Buerger’s disease, also known as thromboangiitis obliterans, is a rare but serious condition that affects the small and medium-sized blood vessels in your arms and legs.
It causes inflammation and blood clots, which block blood flow and damage tissues. Without timely treatment, this can lead to painful ulcers, infection, and even gangrene.
If you’re searching for expert care, our clinic offers specialized Buerger’s Disease & Gangrene Treatment in Aurangabad, led by experienced vascular specialist Dr. Prashant More.
What Is Buerger’s Disease?
This disease primarily affects young or middle-aged individuals who smoke or use tobacco. The inflammation in the arteries and veins reduces blood supply to the hands, feet, and limbs.
Over time, the reduced circulation can lead to severe pain, tissue damage, and gangrene – the death of body tissue due to lack of oxygen-rich blood.
Common Symptoms of Buerger’s Disease
Symptoms often begin in the hands and feet and may include:
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
- Color changes (pale, bluish, or reddish) in fingers or toes
- Burning or aching pain in the limbs, especially during activity (intermittent claudication)
- Rest pain that worsens at night
- Inflamed veins just under the skin (due to clots)
- Cold sensitivity, especially in fingers and toes
- Painful open sores or ulcers on the fingertips or toes
- In advanced cases, gangrene can set in, leading to tissue death
Causes and Risk Factors
- Tobacco use is the leading cause of Buerger’s disease
- Family history of vascular diseases
- Autoimmune response or unknown immune triggers
- Men are more commonly affected, but women can also develop the disease
