Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Explained
A clot in a deep leg vein is called deep vein thrombosis. It is serious since the clot can travel to the lungs, so it needs urgent assessment, frequently with an ultrasound scan.
How Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) Is Treated
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The doctor can judge how likely it is, and will arrange an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person assessment, and advise where to go. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
- Drink water and move around commonly on long journeys to lower the risk
