Everything You Need to Know About Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) with Dr. Lakshmi Kumar Chalamarla
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot develops in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. This can lead to symptoms such as swelling, discomfort, and redness in the affected area. DVT often occurs due to prolonged immobility, surgery, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. If not treated, it can result in severe complications like a pulmonary embolism.
Treatment typically involves blood thinners to prevent clot growth, and in severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. Early diagnosis and preventive measures, like staying active, are essential for reducing risks.
