Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. In APS, increased risk of DVT is present. Regular intake of anti-coagulants and maintaining an INR between 1.5-2 is necessary.
2. Additionally, in long journeys or during major surgeries, movement should be done at the earliest to avoid risk of deep vein thrombosis.
3. Any breathing difficulty should be evaluated immediately to rule out pulmonary emoblism, which can be life threatening.
4. Infertility is usually present in anti-phospholipid syndrome and alternate methods of fertility needs to be tried along with hormonal therapy.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
