How to prevent femoral vein thrombosis

The harm caused by the detachment of femoral vein thrombosis is relatively large. Therefore, if thrombosis occurs, you should also pay attention to the treatment in a regular hospital, especially anticoagulation to prevent the formation of thrombosis. You must pay attention, otherwise the detachment of thrombosis will have a great impact on our life and health. The following is an introduction to some treatment and prevention methods of femoral vein thrombosis.

1. Hazards

The greatest danger of femoral vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism and cerebral embolism. To prevent embolism, an inferior vena cava filter can be implanted to block the dislodged blood clots. Regular anticoagulation is required to prevent thrombosis, elevate the lower limbs, and wear elastic stockings to reduce edema.

Deep vein thrombosis. If a blood clot breaks off, it will block the pulmonary artery and cause pulmonary embolism. If the blood clot is small, it will not affect life. However, if a large blood clot breaks off and blocks the pulmonary artery, it will cause life-threatening danger and even death in severe cases.

2. Suggestions:

1. Perform deep venography of the lower extremities to determine the scope and extent of thrombosis.

2. Determine whether interventional catheterization thrombolytic therapy is required based on the angiographic findings. Interventional catheterization thrombolytic therapy is necessary for deep vein thrombosis (the best time is within half a month, and it is also acceptable within a month. After more than a month, the thrombus will become organized and generally cannot be completely ablated. After a long period of time, generally around five years, sequelae of thrombosis will appear).

3. It is recommended to seek medical treatment at the interventional department of a local city-level or above hospital as soon as possible (generally, only city-level hospitals have interventional departments, which are not within the scope of vascular surgery treatment).

3. Prevention of blood clots

1. Drinking a glass of boiled water before going to bed at night and after getting up in the morning can prevent blood clots. Develop the habit of drinking water on a regular basis, drinking 1000-2000 ml of water every day can reduce blood viscosity and is very beneficial for preventing thrombosis. 2. Increase high-density lipoprotein. It not only deposits on the blood vessel walls, but also promotes the dissolution of very low-density lipoprotein that has been deposited on the blood vessel walls, allowing blood flow to flow smoothly and preventing arteriosclerosis. Exercise and dietary adjustment can increase high-density lipoprotein. You can regularly eat onions, garlic, peppers, green beans, spinach, celery, cucumbers, carrots, apples, grapes, black fungus, etc. 3. Participate in sports. Exercise can promote blood circulation, dilute the blood and reduce viscosity. Such as doing gymnastics, Tai Chi, dancing senior disco, cycling, walking, jogging, swimming, sword dancing, etc. 4.
