1. What is deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?

DVT is a condition characterized by the formation of blood clots (thrombi) in the deep veins of the legs, pelvis, or arms, which can obstruct blood flow and lead to potentially life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism (PE).

Risk factors for DVT include prolonged immobility (such as during long flights or bed rest), surgery, trauma, cancer, hormonal therapy (such as estrogen-containing contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy), pregnancy, obesity, smoking, and genetic predisposition (such as factor V Leiden mutation).

Symptoms of DVT may include swelling, pain, tenderness, warmth, and redness in the affected limb. However, DVT can also occur without any noticeable symptoms (asymptomatic), particularly in the early stages.

Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical evaluation, assessment of risk factors, and diagnostic tests such as Doppler ultrasound imaging, which visualizes blood flow in the affected veins and identifies the presence of blood clots.

Don't ignore the signs and symptoms of DVT – prompt evaluation and treatment are essential for preventing complications. Trust Dr. Ramakrishna, the leading expert in DVT assessment in Hyderabad, to provide compassionate care and personalized treatment.
