About Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, normally in the leg. Since it can move to the lungs, it requires prompt assessment, commonly with an ultrasound.
Signs of Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) to Look for
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Pain or cramp in the calf
- Heaviness or tenderness along the vein
- Swelling in one leg, usually the calf
Causes and Risk Factors
Long periods without moving, such as long flights, bus journeys or bed rest, recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormone medicines, dehydration, smoking and a history of clots can all raise the risk.
Care and Treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The physician can judge how likely it is, and will arrange an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person assessment, and advise where to go. Treatment can involve blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Drink water and move around commonly on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
