Deep Venous Thrombosis

Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition in which a blood clot develops in a deep vein, usually in the lower leg. It is a serious issue that can cause long-term damage and even death if left untreated. People with DVT are at an increased risk of suffering a pulmonary embolism, a potentially fatal condition in which a clot breaks off and travels to the lungs. DVT is most commonly caused by immobility, such as sitting for a long period, during long flights, after surgery, or during long car rides, but can also occur due to genetic predisposition. Symptoms of DVT include swelling of the leg, pain or tenderness in the leg, and a feeling of warmth in the area where the clot has formed. Treatment options include blood thinners to dissolve the clot and prevent further clotting, and anticoagulant medications or surgery to remove the clot.
