DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when blood clots form in deep leg veins. While it can affect anyone at any age, certain factors increase your risk:

• Slow Blood Flow
• Heart conditions
• Limited mobility
• Extended travel
• Prolonged bed rest
• Weight factors
• Tissue Trauma
• Recent injuries
• Surgical procedures
• Significant bruising
• Blood Composition Changes
• Inherited clotting disorders
• Family history
• Certain medications
• Inflammatory conditions

Expert Insight: Understanding your risk factors is crucial for prevention. Many DVT cases can be prevented with appropriate precautions and early intervention.

DVT can present differently in each person:

Common Signs:

• Leg pain (ranging from mild to severe)
• Sudden leg swelling
• Warmth in one leg
• Skin color changes

Warning Signs of Complications:

• Unexplained shortness of breath
• Chest discomfort
• Unusual cough
• Rapid heartbeat

Expert Insight: Some people may not experience obvious symptoms initially. Any sudden leg swelling or unexplained leg pain deserves immediate medical attention.
