Discharge precautions for lower extremity deep vein thrombosis

  1.The leg will also be swollen after getting out of bed, but you should try to insist on walking and moving more, even if there is soreness, drowsiness and weakness.  2.Repeated swelling of the leg, itching, ulceration, slow healing and pigmentation of the skin of the calf segment may also occur for a period of time.  3.It takes 1-5 years for the thrombus to be completely absorbed, so it is necessary to adhere to the oral medication for a long time and wear elastic stockings to help the treatment (put them on in the morning and take them off at night during sleep).  4. Come to the hospital for follow-up every six months, and surgery will be feasible only after the thrombus is absorbed. If the swelling suddenly increases, please seek medical attention promptly.
