What are the Types of Thrombosis Relevant to Gynecology?
The two primary types of thrombosis relevant to gynecology are:
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This involves the formation of a clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs. It can cause swelling, pain, and redness in the affected limb. Pulmonary Embolism (PE): This occurs when a clot from a deep vein travels to the lungs, causing chest pain, shortness of breath, and potentially life-threatening complications.
