Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Explained
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, mostly in the leg. It is serious since the clot can travel to the lungs, so it requires urgent assessment, commonly with an ultrasound scan.
Causes and Risk Factors
Staying still for long periods (flights, coach trips, bed rest), recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormonal medicines, dehydration, smoking and previous clots increase the likelihood.
Care and Treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
Video cannot confirm a clot. The physician evaluates the likelihood, organises an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person examination, and tells you where to go. Treatment can involve blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
