Can patients with lower limb venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism be cured?
Disease description:
At work, I noticed my colleague's leg veins looked particularly severe. During our conversation, I learned he had been diagnosed with lower limb venous thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism. Can patients with lower extremity venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism be cured?

Patients with lower limb venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism can be treated. If the condition is not particularly severe, anticoagulant therapy may be used, primarily based on the patient's physical condition and following medical advice to take medications such as rivaroxaban tablets or urokinase. If the condition is more severe and drug treatment is not sufficiently effective, surgical intervention may be necessary. During treatment, patients should rest adequately and avoid excessive physical exertion, which could impair therapeutic outcomes.
