Treating Venous Thrombosis at Home
You can do the following things to treat venous thrombosis at home:
- Take medications as prescribed.
- Wear compression stockings. You are advised to wear them for 2 years or longer after you have DVT.
- Eat a healthy, low-salt diet.

In rare cases, people with venous thrombosis may have to take blood thinners for the rest of their lives. Doctors recommend this if there is a chance of developing another blood clot.
