Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins, most commonly in the legs. These clots can obstruct blood flow, leading to a blockage within the vein and potentially causing serious health issues. If a clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it can result in a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism.

The main risk factors for DVT include immobility (such as prolonged bed rest or long-distance travel), surgical procedures, trauma, obesity, smoking, and certain genetic predispositions. Additionally, the risk of DVT increases with age.

At Healme Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic methods to ensure early detection of DVT and provide personalized treatment plans. Treatment options may include blood-thinning medications, physical therapy, and surgical interventions when necessary. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications and to maintain quality of life.

Symptoms of DVT include swelling, pain, redness, and increased warmth in the affected leg. If you notice these signs, we recommend consulting our specialist physicians without delay.

For healthy veins and an active life, Healme Clinic is here for you.
