Deep Vein Thrombois Questions

Asked for male, 22 years old from Noida

Hi, I am a 23 year old male. 4 years ago, I had a football injury which I initially ignored. Since then, I have done my left foot mri two times and no orthopedic deformity was detected. Then I went for a doppler test and there I was diagnosed with superficial vein thrombosis. I searched and found out that these clots in superficial veins gets healed in 3 or 4 weeks. But I am suffering from it from the last 4 years? I am confused and in stress whether this is even possible. I overthink about the possibilities of dvt. Pls any vascular surgeon help me. I am a fit guy. I can not wear socks and at night, it just burns. I am applying thrombophob gel on the affected part. Please anyone help me.

Hello lybrate-user, superficial venous thrombosis is as such itself is not very dangerous, the important point is to find out why it has happened. A injury 4 years back (probably not that major as you could ignore that) is not very convincing as the primary cause. For burning at night, you can have methycobal 1500 mcg intramuscular injection.

My uncle has a dvt (since oct 2022) in his right leg near the knee. He is currently being treated with warfarin. He started developing a boil like sore on the area where the dct is located, it has opened up now and it's oozing yellow fluid. A new sore has started just above that. The area surrounding it, is very red and inflamed and hard.

Hello, please get it checked by a physician nearby and get the medications. He might have an infected skin lesion which might need immediate attention. Also,it is necessary to monitor the coagulation profile regularly with the help of blood investigation.

Asked for male, 42 years old from Bangalore

I am male, 42. I have had dvt three times, when I was 27, 28 and then 34. Doctors could not find a reason for this after all the required blood tests were done and concluded that my blood has a tendency to clot. However I recently read that hormone replacement can cause dvt and that reminded me that I had taken testosterone (sustanon 250) around 4-5 doses when I was around 20 years old as I had low hormone levels according to the blood tests. Sine this was done several years back I did not consider/mention this. Is it possible that these injections could have caused dvt after around 6-7 years? And then again after 14 years when I was 34?

Asked for male, 20 years old from Noida

I had superficial blood clot due to a drip in my right hand for dengue treatment which resolved after using thrombophob ointment, but after 2 weeks, a blood clot in inner face of my left leg appeared (below the knee), I have very mild pain in my calf too for two days. Is this deep vein thrombosis or superficial thrombosis? Pain is negligible for two days and swelling is only at a point on inner face of leg not on calf.

If the doppler study is normal and not showing any thrombosis (clot), it may be an age-related pain.
There may not be any relation between the covid vaccine and the leg pain because having pain after 40 days of the vaccination is unlikely due to adverse effect of the vaccination.
Consult an orthopedician for better assessment and she may have to do physiotherapy.

Hello it is unlikely that your mom has dvt as she already on blood thinners. It can be a hematoma or ecchymosis due to her blood thinners. Stop the blood thinners and do a complete blood count and a coagulogram.
You can share the pics in my inbox so that I can help in a better way.

Spiranolactone/ bisoprolol / apixaban all medicines seems to be started for valid indications.
Spiranolactone may cause alopecia (hair loss) and also insomnia (sleep disturbance)
bisoprolol and apixaban are very very less likely to result in the said adverse effect.
Would like to know from you when was your dvt diagnosed and how long have you took apixaban and at what dose, was any scan done after 3 or 6 month interval to find residual dvt if any, and what was the cause for your dvt ...more

My mother is suffering from chronic venous insufficiency. She has high bp as a overweight. At present there are stasis dermatitis along with a small venous ulcer near the left ankle. Previously there was two venous ulcers which healed completely. Right now, in the affected area she is applying mupirocin ointment followed by bactigras dressing. It almost healed, but there is still watery fluid oozing out from some area. Skin colour became normal to some extent, but it is turning red again. She wears compression stocking daily for 10 hrs as prescribed by doctor. She is in pain and there is burning sensations.

It seems to be a repeat episode of dermatitis or lymphangitis. An antibiotic, limb elevation, dressing and rest will make it better. It will be prudent to show to a surgeon for diagnosis confirmation and treatment.
