How to avoid deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis isn’t always avoidable but it is preventable and treatable if discovered early.
The problem can affect anyone, but people who are over 60, overweight, smoke, take the contraceptive pill or HRT, have cancer or heart failure, have varicose veins or have had DVT before are more likely to get DVT than anyone else.
Sometimes DVT can happen for no obvious reason or is caused by a temporary situation such as staying in hospital, dehydration, going on a long plane, car or train journey, or pregnancy.
