Deep Venous Thrombosis is a serious medical condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. It can cause symptoms such as swelling, pain, warmth, and redness in the affected limb, though some cases may be asymptomatic. If left untreated, DVT can lead to life-threatening complications, including pulmonary embolism, where a clot travels to the lungs. Our clinic offers prompt diagnostic testing, including Doppler ultrasound and blood tests, to confirm the presence of a clot. Treatment typically involves anticoagulant medications to prevent clot growth and reduce the risk of recurrence. In certain cases, advanced interventions such as catheter-directed thrombolysis or the placement of an IVC filter may be recommended. Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and support long-term vascular health.
