What Is May Thurner Syndrome?
7. Who’s At Risk
As mentioned, women are more likely to develop May Thurner syndrome, while it is also more likely to happen in people in a certain age group. Other factors also make it more likely that May Thurner syndrome will develop into deep vein thrombosis. One such factor is when the patient spends long periods of time inactive.
Pregnancy is another potential cause, while people that have recently had surgery are also at a higher risk. Infections are likely to increase the risk as is cancer, and contraception pills can also increase somebody’s risk. People that fall into these categories should take extra care and get regular check-ups.
