Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT)

Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where a blood clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the legs. It can block blood flow and may lead to serious complications if the clot travels to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Treatments

  • Blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants)
  • Compression stockings to improve circulation
  • Thrombolytic therapy in severe cases
  • Lifestyle modifications and regular monitoring

Symptoms and Causes

  • Swelling in the leg or arm
  • Pain, cramping or tenderness in the affected area
  • Warmth and redness over the vein
  • Causes include prolonged immobility, surgery, obesity, smoking, pregnancy, or genetic clotting disorders.

Prevention

  • Staying active and avoiding long periods of immobility
  • Maintaining a healthy weight
  • Using compression stockings if recommended
  • Staying hydrated and quitting smoking
