Factors that increase the risk of blood clotting?
Venous thromboembolism can be caused by trauma, surgery, and cancer.
General practitioner Oleg Abakumov said on his Telegram channel that hormonal contraceptives and replacement therapy can become a catalyst for the appearance of thrombosis.
The specialist cited research data, according to which people with blood group II and III are more likely to develop thrombosis, and that thrombosis is less common in owners of the first group. It is almost impossible to detect a blood clot on your own, but there are a number of signs that may indicate this.
“If this happens in the leg, then it becomes cold, sharp pains appear, comparable to an electric shock. And if it is a blood clot in the saphenous vein, the skin over the vein turns red, and the vessel itself makes you feel something solid, like a rope or a pencil,” Abakumov said. “.
Surgical procedures, oncological diseases, obesity and diabetes can also provoke the disease.
