Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can be associated with various factors, including immobility, certain medical conditions, and the use of medications or devices. In the context of prevention implants, such as hormonal contraceptive implants (e.g., etonogestrel), there is evidence that hormonal contraceptives can increase the risk of thromboembolic events, including DVT.
However, the risk associated with hormonal contraceptives varies based on individual factors, such as personal and family medical history, age, smoking status, and other risk factors for thrombosis.
If you have specific concerns about a prevention implant and your risk for DVT, it's important to discuss them with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your health history and circumstances.
