What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
3. Causes
There are numerous potential causes of deep vein thrombosis, and they can be found even in the healthiest of people. One potential cause is an injury to the vein. Such injuries can happen during accidents, while they will also sometimes happen after surgery.
Some cases can be caused by certain types of medication. The condition can also be caused when the patient remains still for too long, thus restricting the circulation of the blood. This can happen in people who sit for too long, including sitting at a desk. It can also happen in people that are immobile due to injury or other medical conditions.
