Question 1

can i have sex with dvt?

Accepted Answer

Be careful: If you're on coumadin, (warfarin) the slightest of trauma (anywhere) can bleed profusely.  Lots of lubricant and play the passive role and be extremely gentle... A pe can happen abruptly.

Question 2

is it unsafe to have sex after being diagnosed with a dvt? if so, for how long should one not have sex?

Accepted Answer

No need to delay: Assuming you are not engaging in positions which interfere with blood return from your legs, and you are being treated appropriately for your DVT there does not seem to be a reason for delay.

Question 3

is it safe to have sex with a dvt?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Ambulation after the acute phase of DVT is usually recommended early. Return to normal physical activity follows gradually and varies on an individual basis. You should consult with your physician.

Question 4

can light sex cause a dvt in thigh and groin to break off?

Accepted Answer

: Depending on what you define as "light" sex it might. I do not know of a validated "degree of sex quesionaire".  Discus with your local Dr.

Question 5

i am 4 months in after dvt & pe's. last scsn showed scan showed clot still present. groin. when will it be safe to have sex again?

Accepted Answer

Safe.: It was safe 4 months ago. In general, having sex is not likely to  affect DVT / pe. Did your doc specifically Prohibit this?   I assume you are still taking coumadin (warfarin).

Question 6

i have been taking treatment for dvt more than 10 years. acitrom& preem16 are the drugs taking regularly.will it affect my sex life?can i gve birth?

Accepted Answer

No, yes: Acitrom is an anticoagulant similar to warfarin. You are taking because you had a blood clot at a very early age. It is unusual to have a DVT at 17 and it could be related to a genetic reason that you clot more than other people. Only you and your doctor know if you have a clotting problem that needs lifelong anticoagulation, it is possible.  You might stop the drug prior to delivery if pregnant.

Question 7

is it safe to have sex soon after suffering a dvt in the upper leg and groin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are physically able to have sex, it is safe.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

how long dvt treated?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Sometimes a DVT can be treated for as little as three months with blood thinners and sometimes it is longer, six months to a year.  It depends on the location,  extent,  and internal improvement in the blood clot.  A follow-up ultrasound can be helpful in determining how long it meets to be treated. I hope this helps.

Question 9

how common is dvt at 24?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you just had surgery, on birth control/hormones, immobilization, history of blood clots you could have a DVT. See your doctor for more answers and testing if you think you have a blood clot.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Deep vein thrombosis: here are some:

pain, swelling and tenderness in one of your legs (usually your calf)
a heavy ache in the affected area.
warm skin in the area of the clot.
