Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Thrombophilia is increased risk of thrombus formation.
2. When you are with thrombophilia, you will be on anticoagulants. Increased risk of bleeding will be present due to the medications.
3. Avoiding contact sports, long traveling hours, prolonged bed rest, dehydration, infections are things you need to avoid.
4. Routine followup of INR is essential and to maintain it within normal range, medication adjustment would be necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
