No I had surgery twice to remove them from the back of my right upper thigh, but I also started watching my HCT and blood pressure much more closely. Which I never did before those DVTs. If a chunk breaks off from the main clot, it can be very dangerous. But a aspirin per day, up fluids, that all helped lower my chances of them happening again.Thank you, Sir , What do you mean is that changing habits is better than surgery ?
Has she ever been evaluated for Mae-Thurner syndrome? Venous compression.my wife have severe venous thrombosis ,

yes ,she is doing it ,thanksA case like this needs to be evaluated by a hematologist. She may have a hypercoagulable syndrome and need to be on warfarin or other anti coagulation.
I had 2 DVTs. I had a factor V Leiden test and I am genetically prone to them. She needs regular bloodwork. I don't take blood thinners and haven't had a problem in 12 years after getting 2 within 1 year. I now take baby aspirin and Nattikonese everyday. If I go on long trip or on my feet several hours, I will compression socks. Do not sit on a long trip too long. Walk around and stretch out every 2 hours.
aspirin is better at preventing blood clots in arterial system such as heart attacks and strokes. For patients that have hypercoagulable disorder and thrombosis in the venous system aspirin will not be very effective.
