閉塞性動脈硬化症
Arteriosclerosis obliterans
足の血管の動脈硬化(arteriosclerosis)が進み、血管が細くなったり、詰まったりして十分に血液が流れなくなる病気。血液の流れが悪くなり、歩くときに足のしびれ(ピリピリする)や痛み、冷たさを感じる。
A disease where the blood cannot flow sufficiently due to a progressive hardening of the blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) in the legs, which makes the blood vessels start to become thinner, and become blocked. That makes the blood flow worsen, and when walking, one feels pins and needles (a tingling pain) and pain in the legs, and/or the legs feel cold.
