How Can Blood Clots Be Prevented?

I have Factor V Leiden and I am trying to find a diet that will help offset the risk of Blood Clots. It s a Vitamin K deficiency and causes the blood to clot when its not supoosed to. I am a smoker and I am also on Nexplanon as a form of birth control.

Hello,

First of all quit smoking as soon as possible because this will increase the risk of bleeding. Avoid hormonal contraceptive measures as this can also cause a risk of bleeding.

Eat green leafy vegetables like Broccoli, coriander, spinach etc. They all are a rich source of vitamin K.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
