The most common type of thrombosis is deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It usually occurs in the legs.
Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel. Embolism is when a clot or other material travels through the bloodstream and blocks a vessel elsewhere.
To reduce thrombosis, stay active, avoid prolonged sitting, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid smoking. Follow your doctor's advice if you have risk factors.
Thrombosis can be treated with blood thinners, clot-dissolving medications, or surgery in severe cases. Your doctor will choose the best treatment for you.
Foods that prevent thrombosis include those rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fish, leafy green vegetables, nuts, and fruits. Staying hydrated is also important.
Thrombosis can last for weeks to months. Treatment can help reduce the duration and prevent complications. Always follow your doctor's advice.
Sometimes thrombosis can resolve on its own, but it often requires medical treatment to prevent complications. Consult a doctor if you suspect thrombosis.
Thrombosis can be painful, especially in the legs. Pain, swelling, and redness are common symptoms. If you experience these, see a doctor immediately.
