A member asked:
I do not have a family history of any blood related clot problems -took an. how big of a risk am i for developing dvt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk...maybe: Dvts can happen to anyone who travel for hours in an automobile or airplane without stimulating their leg muscles with some form of exercise. Risk in general is low however. Risk for same increases in female smokers taking oral contraceptives. If you fly or drive long distances work those legs!
