Oral contraception is considered a risk factor for the formation of deep venous thrombosis in women.
Is it true that oral contraception is considered a risk factor for the formation of deep venous thrombosis in women?
Yes. Oral contraceptives are widely documented in medical literature as an established risk factor for deep venous thrombosis and venous thromboembolism in women, primarily due to estrogen-induced hypercoagulability.
