Treating And Preventing Phleboliths

Warm Compresses

One easy way to lessen the pain of phleboliths is to apply warm compresses to the area. The patient should find a clean washcloth, soaks it in hot water, wrings it out and places it over the place where they are feeling pain. Some patients also get relief from a heating pad placed over the area, and others use a moist abdominal bandage, which is an effective way to deliver moist heat to a painful area. It’s made of dampened gauze or linen covered by flannel then wrapped around the patient’s midsection as they lie in bed. The patient’s own body heat warms it.
