Deep Venous Thrombosis
DVT
Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, most often in the legs. It can cause leg pain, swelling, redness, or warmth, but sometimes occurs with few or no symptoms. The biggest concern is that part of the clot can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening. Risk factors include prolonged immobility, recent surgery, cancer, pregnancy, and certain inherited clotting disorders. Treatment usually involves blood thinners to prevent clot growth and reduce the risk of complications.
