Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, normally in the leg. It is serious since the clot can travel to the lungs, so it requires urgent assessment, frequently with an ultrasound scan.
Beyoglu: Local Notes for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
Beyoglu’s steep streets, rooftop bars and street food bring walking injuries and upset stomachs. Late nights and dehydration add to the risk after a long journey. Get a swollen, painful leg checked the same day.

- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.

Treatment Options for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt) in Beyoglu
