Causes and Risk Factors
Staying still for long periods (flights, coach trips, bed rest), recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormonal medicines, dehydration, smoking and previous clots increase the likelihood.
Understanding Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
A clot in a deep leg vein is called deep vein thrombosis. Since it can move to the lungs, it requires prompt assessment, commonly with an ultrasound.
Symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
- Swelling in one leg, normally the calf
- Warm, red or discoloured skin
- Pain or cramp in the calf
- Heaviness or tenderness along the vein
Sisli: Local Notes for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
Exploring Sisli means miles of walking and plenty of street food, both of which can leave visitors tired and unwell. Close by are Uskudar, Bakirkoy, Buyukada, which share the same medical services. Long walking days after a long flight can hide a painful leg. If one calf is swollen and sore, get it checked.
Travel Guide to Sisli
Trip for travellers: Sisli is best explored on foot, with cafes, markets and historic sights close together. Allow time for shopping and use ferries or taxis between sights.
Care and Treatment for Deep Vein Thrombosis (Dvt)
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. Options may include 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 commonly on long journeys to lower the risk
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
