A doctor has provided 1 answer

By definition,: use of oral contraceptives, particularly those containing an estrogen, is a risk factor for DVT/P.E. In a healthy young female who doesn't smoke, the risk is very low. However, a family history of clotting disorders, prolonged inactivity, varicose veins and leg fracture can increase the baseline risk. Getting a test done without a doctor's involvement carries some risk as well Dr. Anne.
