General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Yes, there is risk for blood clot to travel and clog blood vessels anywhere else in the body. Hope this won't be the case for your sister as long as she is following her doctor's advice.

She should be keep regular follow ups with her angiologist. Regular doppler ultrasound of the legs should be run as per angiologist advice.

Diosmin can help shrink the clogged veins. However, should consult with angiologist about the dosage and for how long to take it.

Wish fast recovery.
