Amid the release of her new song, "Desce pro play (Papapa)", featuring MC Zaac and Tyga, on Friday (26), singer Anitta was surprised by the diagnosis of thrombosis in her right leg. She discovered the problem during a check-up on Thursday (25) and was hospitalized at Vila Nova Star Hospital, part of Rede D’Or, in São Paulo, where she remains for further detailed examinations.
Through her social media, Anitta reassured fans and stated that she should be discharged on Friday. “What I had was a thrombosis that has already started to be treated. For those who know what thrombosis is, you know the danger of this disease. Upon discovering this disease, treatment begins; mine was in the early stage. Andso everything will be fine with me,” she said.
As soon as the news became public, many comments arose regarding the singer's use of contraceptives, who assured in her stories that she does not use this type of medication. “Guys, I don’t take contraceptives. My contraceptive method is not hormonal. We don’t know where this ‘rumor’ came from, it just came. I don’t smoke and I don’t take contraceptives,” she said.
Therefore, vascular surgeon and angiologist, Moriane Lorenzoni, warns of other risk factors that can cause this problem. “One of them may be associated with this quarantine period, which is sitting or lying down for too long. But there are also other situations that lead to a thrombosis, such as: hereditariness, gravidity, the presence of varicose veins, advanced age, heart failure, malignancies, obesity, hypercoagulability disorders, as well as the use of contraceptives and smoking,” she lists.
About the disease
Thrombosis occurs when a clot forms in a large vein in the legs, blocking blood flow, causing swelling and pain. In more severe situations, this clot can move in the bloodstream, leading to embolism, which can affect the brain, lungs, and heart.
The doctor warns that treatment should be started as soon as the disease is discovered to prevent any development of the disease. “For this, there are medications and other ways to complement the treatment. Physical exercises – such as a good walk, for example – are a healthy way of prevention. Compression stockings are also great allies in the treatment of thrombosis. But, as in any treatment, they must be used only under medical guidance,” she advises.
