Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Overview
- DVT
What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the legs. These clots block or slow blood flow, causing leg swelling, pain, warmth, or redness. Because deep veins carry most of the blood from the legs back to the heart, any blockage can lead to rapid and serious symptoms.
The biggest danger of DVT is that part of the clot can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE) — a life-threatening emergency. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment significantly reduce complications and help protect long-term vein health.
Why Early Detection Matters
Ignoring DVT symptoms can allow the clot to grow or travel. Seeking medical evaluation immediately — especially for sudden one-sided leg swelling — ensures fast imaging and early treatment, preventing PE and long-term vein damage.
