About Venous Thrombosis And Phlebitis In Pregnancy

Venous thrombosis and phlebitis in pregnancy refer to the formation of blood clots (thrombosis) or inflammation (phlebitis) in the veins, most commonly in the legs, during pregnancy. This condition is a significant concern as pregnancy increases the risk due to hormonal changes, increased blood volume, and pressure from the growing uterus. An Obstetrics and Gynaecologist manages this condition to prevent serious complications like pulmonary embolism. Diagnosis typically involves ultrasound (Doppler) imaging. Treatment focuses on safe anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications, such as low molecular weight heparin, which do not cross the placenta to harm the baby, alongside compression stockings and monitoring. Careful management is crucial for the health of both mother and child.
