How Vascular Surgeon at Boston MA explains Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Your risk of getting DVT is increased if you have a condition that causes your blood to clot more easily than usual. Best examples of this condition are:

Prolonged Immobility

When a person remains motionless for a long period of time, the muscles of his body do not contract to help blood circulate, and this way there is an increase in the risk of blood clot formation. Extended bed rests, such as longer hospital stays or in paralysis, and still sitting or standing for lengthy periods of time, such as on a car or in aeroplane.

Aging process

One of the risk factors includes old age. Due to the aging process, there are some changes in the composition of blood which favor the clotting process.

Surgery and trauma

In both of these techniques, there is an increase in risk. As the tissue factor enters from outside the vascular system. In orthopedic surgery, the chances of venous stasis may be increased by cessation of blood, as it is necessarily required for surgery.

Cancer

Growing of cancer in and around veins can also stimulate increased levels of tissue factor.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy favors the clotting of blood in postpartum. Using oral contraceptives and hormonal replacement therapy are at the edge of increasing risk, which includes abnormal blood coagulation protein levels and reduces the plasma level of fibrinolysis. Your vein doctor helps you to cure these and to prescribe your preventive measures.

Other minor conditions include:

Cardiac(heart) disease and lung disease

conditions in which there is an infection in the body

thrombophilia — a genetic condition in which there is an increase in the tendency to clot.
