How To Prevent Blood Clots Formation?
Question: I am 62... on aspirin therapy (one 82mg per day) as a result of a pulmonary embolus several years ago. I purchased a penis ring, which helps improve the firmness of my erections. I leave it on no more than 30 min. As a result of my blood being constricted using this device, I was worried about the possibility of developing a blood clot. I've already consulted with a hematologist and would like a second opinion. My hematologist said "no problem" but I wanted to make sure.

Hello and thank you for sending the question.
This is a very good question and I will work on providing you with some appropriate recommendations.
Generally we do not use aspirin to prevent blood clots. In order to prevent blood clots you would need to use something like Coumadin. Nonetheless regarding your particular question I see no problem with your continued use of this product. As far as I know there was no increased risk of blood clots.
I would encourage you to use this product as recommended by the manufacturer. Again we cannot guarantee any result but it appears that there is not significant risk at this time.
As always we recommend that you follow up with your local physicians.
Thanks again for sending your question.
