Lower limb venous thrombosis with leg swelling and nosebleeds can be treated through medications and other methods. If lower limb venous thrombosis is accompanied by nosebleeds, anticoagulant drugs should be administered promptly, such as unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, vitamin K antagonists, or direct factor Xa inhibitors. If symptoms are not severe, lifelong medication such as urokinase may be used under a doctor's guidance. For patients with significant clinical manifestations, surgical intervention may be considered. During this period, adequate rest and sufficient sleep are essential.
