[quote=Anonymous]I was recently diagnosed with both a DVT in my leg and a serious pulmonary embolism situation. Once released from the hospital, they told me I’d be on blood thinners for three months, then they’ll do genetic testing to see if I have hereditary clotting factors. If so, then I think they’ll say that I should take oral blood thinners before surgery and long haul flights or drives, but not daily. If you don’t have hereditary factors, I don’t think you’ll need further treatment once off the meds, but you’ll get a plan from your doctors. All the doctors said that hormonal birth control was not advisable if you’ve had prior issues with DVTs or pulmonary embolisms for whatever reason. [/quote]
