Prolonged sitting is the culprit of venous thrombosis After prolonged sitting, such as sitting in a car, sitting in front of the computer, etc., the lower extremities may be painful, which is due to the formation of venous thrombosis in the lower extremities after prolonged sitting, once the thrombosis is dislodged, it will “wander” with the blood four, “wander” the pulmonary artery, etc. The place blocking the blood vessel card may be fatal. Sedentary is the culprit of venous thrombosis, the prevention method is more exercise and drink water. Sedentary is the culprit of venous thrombosis, usually in good health, but after sedentary may suddenly develop a serious disease. This culprit is his sedentary habits. Some people usually because of the work relationship often a sitting is several hours, in addition to the toilet, almost never leave the seat. But what many people don’t know is that keeping a sitting posture for a long time is very harmful to the veins of the lower limbs. This is because, when people are sitting, ankles, knees and thighs are three 90 degrees bent. At this time, if you sit for a long time, the muscle contraction of the legs is significantly reduced, and the blood flow in the lower limbs slows down, thus greatly increasing the chances of thrombosis. In this regard, the doctor mentioned a not uncommon disease – “economy class syndrome”. People who travel long distances in the economy class of airplanes, because of the small seats, especially the seats against the porthole, out of the inconvenience, coupled with the low humidity and low air pressure in the cabin, passengers are prone to water loss, resulting in blood thickening, easy to form leg thrombosis. And once these clots fall off and wander around will become a huge health hazard. In fact, not only by airplane, sit in any long-distance transportation, if sitting still for a long time may occur similar danger. Venous thrombosis occurs regardless of the season and age group. Young people Long its to be vigilant, long-term sitting office, play computer, etc. also easy to form thrombosis, there are often sitting playing mahjong middle-aged and elderly people, especially fractures or post-operative patients need to sleep for a long time, is also a high-risk group of thrombosis. There are also many young patients who die suddenly after playing computer games for a long time in Internet cafes, and a large part of them have been caused by venous thrombosis after sitting for a long time, which leads to pulmonary embolism and eventually endangers their lives. Prevention methods are more exercise and drink more water A British study reported that people who sit at a desk for more than 3 hours a day in a fixed sitting position have twice the risk of developing venous thrombosis of the same upper limb as other people. The study also showed that whether the total time spent sitting still is too long in a day, or a certain time of the day is sedentary, will increase the risk of venous thrombosis, and each additional hour of sitting, the risk of thrombosis will increase by 20%. Venous thrombosis is not unpreventable, the method of prevention is actually very simple, sedentary when the best interval of one or two hours to stand up and walk, active legs and feet, moving limbs, so that blood flow. If you are sitting in a small space in the transport, you can use tiptoe, shaking feet and other methods about the effect of contraction of the calf muscles, and remember to pat the legs with your hands. Also, remember to drink more water to avoid high blood viscosity.
