What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)?
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, mostly in the leg. Since it can move to the lungs, it requires prompt assessment, commonly with an ultrasound.
Typical Symptoms
- Warm, red or discoloured skin
- Swelling in one leg, normally the calf
- Heaviness or tenderness along the vein
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
Why Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) Happens
Long periods without moving, such as long flights, bus journeys or bed rest, recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormone medicines, dehydration, smoking and a history of clots can all raise the risk.
Treatment Options for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) in Avanos
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The doctor judges how likely it is, arranges an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person assessment, and advises where to go. Typical choices are blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
- Drink water and move around frequently on long journeys to lower the risk
- Tell the doctor about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
