WHAT IS DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)?

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition characterized by the formation of blood clots in deep veins, often in the legs. These clots can obstruct blood flow, leading to pain and swelling, and may become life-threatening if a clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. DVT primarily affects deep veins in the legs but may also occur in the pelvis or arms

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

  • Swelling, typically in one leg
  • Pain or tenderness in the leg
  • Warmth, redness, or discoloration around the affected area
  • Unexplained leg cramps or heaviness

CAUSES

  • Prolonged immobility (e.g., long flights, post-surgery)
  • Blood vessel trauma from surgeries or injuries
  • Lifestyle factors, such as smoking
  • Hormonal influences, including pregnancy and certain medications
  • Genetic predispositions affecting blood clot regulation
