ABSTRACT:
Deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs is one of the more frequent side effects of obstetric and gynaecological operations. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common and sometimes dangerous complication that occurs following surgery. The chances of deep vein thrombosis are 50%-70% higher. Approximately 80 women (40%) had significant risk factors for the development of VTE during pregnancy and postpartum period. Throbbing pain, swelling in 1 leg, warm skin, skin discoloration are the symptoms of DVT. Although not all women undergoing caesarean sections may benefit from general medical thromboprophylaxis, it is important to evaluate each woman's unique risk variables and take preventative measures into account for those with greater risk profiles.
