The duration

Inflammation of the superficial veins is usually acute and usually heals after a few days. However, the inflammation can also spread to the deeper lying veins. Therefore, one should observe the disease well and consult a doctor if it worsens.

The inflammation of the deep-lying veins is usually chronic. Complete recovery is difficult in this case. However, the progression of the disease can be stopped.

An autoimmune disease often persists for life. Since the exact origin of the disease is not understood, there is no therapy yet that leads to a cure. However, the symptoms can be alleviated by some drugs.
