Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thrombus lodged in a vein can cause venous occlusion as a result of venous stasis. Inactivity can cause venous stasis, leading to DVT. Aerobic exercise helps to prevent venous stasis. Pregnancy and tight clothing can cause varicose veins, which can lead to venous stasis and eventually DVT, but these are not primary causes.
