Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. These clots can be dangerous because they can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal.
➡️ Symptoms
- Swelling in the affected leg
- Pain or tenderness in the affected leg
- Feeling of warmth in the affected area
- Red or dark skin near the painful area
- Swollen veins that are sore to touch
➡️ Causes
- Prolonged periods of immobility
- Damage to a vein during surgery
- Inflammation due to an infection
- Damage to a vein from an injury
➡️ Treatment
There are several treatment options for DVT, including blood thinners and compression stockings. In some cases, a procedure called thrombolysis may be necessary to break up the blood clot. It is important to take steps to prevent DVT, such as getting up and moving around, wearing compression stockings, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Quitting smoking and managing weight and obesity levels are also effective ways to reduce your risk. By taking preventive measures and seeking medical treatment if necessary, you can help protect yourself from this serious condition.
