DVT- Deep vein thrombosis

Types:

Provoked- After long drive, after being bedridden for some ailment[ Fractures etc], or being on hormone injections, pregnancy.

Unprovoked: With no provoking factor. Work up needed further[ Hypercoagulopathy panel to see whether person has hereditary risk for clots]

 

Sometimes clots could be due to malignancy[ Especially in middle age group, then one need CT chest, abdomen and pelvis for malignancy work up]

Duration of anticoagulation is :6 months usually. Again this is your physician discretion.

My colleague had this - not sure about details but he was given 2 choices for treatment 

 

injections - costly - less recovery time

tablets - in expensive or covered by insurances - more recovery time - around 6 months on blood thinners and have to regularly visit doctor etc. he has be extra careful with sharp objects like knives while cooking etc. as blood won’t clot if there is a cut - because of thinners tablets. 
 

he went with tablets, avoided cutting vegetables etc. and room mate used to cut and he used to cook and clean. 
 

I remember him wearing some different type of pressure socks as well
