Post-thrombosis condition
Treatment of deep vein thrombosis in the acute phase is a hospital task. At home, the goal is to prevent recurrence and reduce chronic symptoms (e.g., edema).
In deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot (thrombus) forms in the deep veins. It usually occurs in the veins of the lower leg or thigh and creates a life-threatening situation.
If this occurs, seek medical attention immediately. No home remedies should be applied to a fresh thrombosis. It requires hospital treatment!
Deep vein thrombosis always heals with residual symptoms! Your leg feels tight, swells, and there is a high risk of recurrence.
This requires home treatment. Such therapies can be started about 10–12 weeks after the thrombosis has subsided. These devices provide assistance for this.
