Etiology: You should be trying to discover the etiology for the clot. Make sure your medical team is aware of all the medicines you are taking, and any OTC products that you are using. They will be looking to try to determine if there is a predisposition for recurrence, and give you advice on what to do in the future to avoid recurrence.
