What is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?

Deep Vein Thrombosis, also known as DVT, is a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis.

What are the symptoms of DVT?

DVT is often symptomless, but common symptoms include pain, heaviness, redness, tenderness, and swelling in the affected leg.

Treatment for DVT includes blood thinners, anti-clotting medication, and in some cases, surgery.

Risk factors include prolonged inactivity, genetic conditions, cancer, varicose veins, pregnancy, age over 60, obesity, and others.

To prevent DVT, exercise regularly, hydrate, maintain a healthy lifestyle, elevate your legs, and consider compression socks.
