                        I am new to Thrombosis.  Recently found a DVT in my right gonadal vein.  All I can tell you is that when my was diagnosed, I was admitted to the hospital immediately and remained for 7 days.  Thrombosis can be a life threatening situation, so I advise that you discuss what preventative measures you can take with your family physician.  Good luck.
