How to treat postpartum lower extremity venous thrombosis

Patient's question:

Cesarean section for 17 days, had leg soreness and pain a few days ago, yesterday had some swelling in the inner thigh and right lower abdomen, went to the hospital immediately, said it was an internal infection, and received anti-inflammatory medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, generally, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is primarily used for comprehensive treatment. In the acute phase of venous thrombosis, which is within 7 days of the thrombus formation, anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy is highly effective. However, pure Western medicine treatment carries the risk of thrombus detachment at any time. Surgical intervention can remove the already formed thrombus immediately, but the vascular injury caused by surgery may lead to the reformation of the thrombus.
