Only well-conducted
prevention can truly help avoid venous thrombosis. It is based on maintaining the health of the circulatory system, aiming to prevent other
serious complications, not just thrombosis. There are, of course, specific
preventive measures that take into account the differences in various
age groups and populations.
For
older individuals, whose bodies are, for various reasons, more susceptible to venous thrombosis, it is crucial to strongly promote an
active lifestyle, particularly regular physical activity. Appropriate
exercises can reduce the effects of prolonged sitting, primarily supporting the
condition of blood vessels and the heart, as well as overall health. Monitoring risk factors, such as
hypertension or diabetes, which intensify venous thrombosis, is especially important for seniors.
In a different situation are
pregnant women, where thrombosis prevention is associated with this condition and takes place in a
specific way. The significant hormonal changes during pregnancy affect
blood composition and hemodynamics, increasing the risk of thrombosis. Therefore, it is essential to
monitor blood parameters, such as in regular blood tests. In some cases,
compression stockings and other special methods can be useful.
Thrombosis prevention is perceived differently in other age groups, especially among
young individuals, who, to counteract circulatory system problems, should
avoid sitting, especially for prolonged periods. Even during
long journeys, it's worth standing up periodically. Broadly defined
movement and breaks at work or during travel can significantly reduce the risk of clot formation. Similarly, adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a
proper diet, while avoiding substances, also plays a crucial role in
preventing thrombosis in this age group.
