How long does it take to get out of bed after lower extremity venous thrombosis?

After the condition of lower extremity venous thrombosis stabilizes, according to the doctor's evaluation, some patients can usually move moderately within 48 to 72 hours after diagnosis. The specific time depends on the severity of the thrombosis and the treatment plan. If it is unclear or the condition is complicated, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Leg vein thrombosis is a condition in which blood clots excessively in the veins of the legs, often after prolonged sitting or lying down or after surgery. Blood clots can cause leg swelling, pain, and even increase the risk of life-threatening embolism, so activity planning during treatment and recovery is critical.

During the acute stage of symptoms, bed rest helps prevent blood clots from breaking off and spreading, but long-term bed rest can affect blood circulation and worsen the condition. Once anticoagulants (such as heparin and warfarin) are used to stabilize the blood clot, doctors usually recommend gradually resuming light activities, such as moving your feet while lying in bed and getting up and walking appropriately, which can both promote blood circulation and prevent muscle atrophy.

During the recovery process, patients should pay attention to the doctor's advice and avoid strenuous exercise or prolonged single posture. Wearing medical elastic stockings is a good choice to reduce venous pressure and prevent recurrence of the disease. If you experience abnormal conditions such as difficulty breathing and chest pain, you should go to the hospital for review and treatment immediately.
