• Multi parity
• varices
• puerperal infection
Thrombosis can be found in the leg veins are also on the pelvic veins. Thrombosis of veins near the surface is usually accompanied by inflammation, so it is thrombophlebitis. The existence septikhema, can be proved by the breeding of germs from the blood.
Classification
Pelvio thrombophlebitis
Pelvio thrombophlebitis of the veins of the broad ligament and the uterine wall is the ovarian vein, uterine vein and vein hipogastika.

  • Complications of kidney sinistra, the sudden pain followed by proteinuria and hematuria
  • Complications in the eyes, joints and subcutaneous tissues.
Handling
  • Hospitalization, bed rest for patients with symptomatic disease monitoring and prevention of pulmonary embolism.
  • Therapy medical, or heparin antibiotics if there are signs or allegations of pulmonary embolism
  • Therapy operati, increased inferior vena cava and ovarian vein if septic emboli continues until it reaches the lungs despite being made heparisasi
Femoral thrombophlebitis (Flegmasia dolens alba)
Femoral thrombophlebitis of the veins in the legs such as the femoral vein, popliteal vein and saphenous vein.
Edema on one leg most often caused by a thrombosis is a blood clot behind the possibility of a pulmonary embolism complications that usually result in death
