Who is prone to deep vein thrombosis?
It is generally believed that people with blood vessel wall damage, blood flow stasis, and blood composition changes are prone to deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. Specifically, there are the following situations.
1. Long-term bedridden patients. Due to long-term bed rest, blood flow is stagnant, and it is easy for these patients to get deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs.
2. People who travel long distances by plane or train. The high incidence of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities is also due to long-term lumbar immobilization, which significantly slows down the venous return and is prone to this disease.
3. The elderly. The activity of coagulation factors in the blood of the elderly is high, and the function of the calf muscles to promote blood return is weakened, so they are prone to this disease.
4. Patients with malignant tumors. Malignant tumors can release procoagulant substances, leading to a hypercoagulable state of blood.
5. Women taking oral contraceptives. It has been proved that the estrogen in contraceptives can cause changes in coagulation factors and easily cause thrombosis.
6. Postpartum women. Changes in estrogen can easily lead to thrombosis.
7. Patients after surgery and trauma. Prone to thrombosis due to immobilization and damage to blood vessels.
8. Autoimmune diseases. Such as systemic lupus erythematosus prone to this disease.
9. Patients with primary hypercoagulable state caused by genetic defects. In addition, race, blood type, etc. have a certain impact on the disease. For example, Europeans have a higher incidence than Asians, and people with type A blood have a higher incidence of this disease.
If these people can not be cured on time before the thrombus enters their lungs, it may cause death, then the only way to save their lives will be amputation. So prevention of DVT is very important to keep them away from amputation, using air press massager is one of the effective way to drain the thrombus to the circulation system by the bottom-up diffusion detoxification massage therapy based on the principles of Chinese medicine. With this massage way, thrombus will be absorbed by the kidneys and converted into urine and eventually excreted.
