What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Deep Vein Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in the deep veins of the body, often in the legs or thighs. This clot can restrict or block blood flow, causing pain and swelling. If the clot travels to the lungs, it can result in a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. DVT requires immediate diagnosis and treatment to prevent severe health issues. It is commonly seen in patients with reduced mobility or those recovering from surgery or long flights. Early detection plays a key role in effective management.
