6. See Your Doctor for Screening and Prevention
If you’ve had a clot before, or if your doctor thinks you’re at high risk, you may be advised to take blood thinners—medications that help prevent clots. These aren’t for everyone, and they come with their own risks, so always follow professional guidance.
In some cases, non-invasive tests like ultrasounds can help detect a clot early—before it causes harm. So if you have symptoms or concerns, speak up.
