Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group

Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.

My husband has a dvt in a groin vien. We recieved very few directions from the doctor. Anybody have instructions on sexual activity ? Problems with erections or any sexual side affects due to Blood thinners. We are both afraid to resume sexual activity for fear the clot will dislodge. HELP !!!!!

Talk to your doctor. I never heard of a DVT in the groin, that must be very scary and painful.

I was going to make a snide remark about the sex.. cos.. I had a terrific workout last night.. but man.. no DVT in the groin was involved. Mine is in my leg.. I was more worried about my heart last night.

The DVT has caused problems with my heart. So..that is something to keep in mind. A clot travelling up to your heart.

be well. ((HUGS))
