Balat is a busy visitor area, so long days on foot, crowds and street food are the usual causes of illness. Other places within reach include Ortakoy, Bebek, Arnavutkoy. Long walking days after a long flight can hide a painful leg. If one calf is swollen and sore, get it checked.

Common triggers
Long periods of sitting still on flights, buses or bed rest, recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormone medicines, dehydration, smoking and a history of clots all raise the risk.
Understanding deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
A clot in a deep leg vein is called deep vein thrombosis. It is serious since the clot can travel to the lungs, so it needs urgent assessment, commonly with an ultrasound scan.
How deep vein thrombosis (dvt) feels
- Swelling in one leg, generally the calf
- Warm, red or discoloured skin
- Pain or cramp in the calf
- Heaviness or tenderness along the vein
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
How to lower your risk of deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
On long journeys move your legs, walk around regularly, stay hydrated and wear compression socks if your doctor recommends them.
Getting deep vein thrombosis (dvt) treated in Balat
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The doctor examines the likelihood, organises an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person examination, and tells you where to go. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
- Tell the doctor about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
- Drink water and move around often on long journeys to lower the risk
