Pulmonary embolism prevention?!


Question:

Pulmonary embolism prevention?

I had two major surgeries, so I am wearing anti-embolism stockings which may help avoid deep vein thrombosis . How long should I wear them?


Answers:

That question really needs to be answered by your surgeon. Normally depending on what type of procdure you had the leggings will be worn upwards of six weeks post op.
