Question

this is ravi having dvt in my right leg from past 4 years .i am uncomfortable with this i want a compleate solution for this is there any way to remove he clot from my vein .help me

Answer 1

If it's been there for four years, then the only way to remove it completely is surgery, and that will probably cause more problems than it solves. If you've been diagnosed, then chances are you're already on anticoagulant (blood thinner) therapy. Have you had a vena cava filter placed? That will at least reduce the risk of your clot advancing upward into your heart, lungs, or brain. If you need help with pain management, then you need to talk to your doctor, and if it's the swelling/redness, then elevating the leg can help, as can warm packs (but talk to your MD before using those).

Answer 2

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is clotting of blood in a deep vein of an extremity (usually calf or thigh) or the pelvis. DVT is the primary cause of pulmonary embolism. DVT results from conditions that impair venous return, lead to endothelial injury or dysfunction, or cause hypercoagulability. DVT may be asymptomatic or cause pain and swelling in an extremity. Diagnosis is by history, physical examination, and duplex ultrasonography, with d-dimer or other testing as necessary. Treatment is with anticoagulants. Prognosis is generally good with prompt, adequate treatment; common long-term complications include venous insufficiency with or without postphlebitic syndrome. Consult your doctor.

Answer 3

I would think surgery would be your option. And if you were having a dvt for 4 years, I would think you wouldn't be on yahoo answers typing this question.

Answer 4

Clot Busters (medicine) and blood thinners?
