What Is Thrombosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Medical Causes
While lifestyle decisions are often the cause of thrombosis, there are also circumstances over which some patients have little to no control over. For example, some types of medication are likely to encourage clots even in people that have an otherwise very healthy cardiovascular system. Some contraceptive pills can also cause a problem in a small number of cases.
Pregnant women should go in for check-ups regularly, one reason being that pregnancy can encourage thrombosis. Cancer may also be a cause in some cases, and extensive surgery producers can also lead to thrombosis. If you are in a high-risk group, then regular medical check-ups are advised.
