Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, typically in the leg. It is serious because the clot can travel to the lungs, so it requires urgent assessment, commonly with an ultrasound scan.
Local Tips for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) in Galataport

Treatment Options for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) in Galataport
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The physician examines the likelihood, organises an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person examination, and tells you where to go. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
