Inovia Vein in Bend raising awareness of Thrombosis, including potential dangers and treatment

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- March marks National Thrombosis Awareness Month, an important time to raise awareness about the risks of blood clots, which affect millions of Americans every year.

Thrombosis, the formation of blood clots within blood vessels, can lead to life-threatening conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke. Despite its prevalence, many people are unaware of the potential dangers, making awareness and early intervention critical.

According to Dr. Edward Boyle and Inovia Vein, blood clots can form for various reasons, including prolonged immobility, certain medical conditions, genetic factors, or even following surgery.

If not detected and treated promptly, thrombosis can lead to serious complications. That’s why it’s vital to speak with your doctor about your risk factors and potential symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference.
