Understanding deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, mostly in the leg. It is serious since the clot can travel to the lungs, so it needs urgent assessment, often with an ultrasound scan.
Symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
- Swelling in one leg, typically the calf
- Pain or cramp in the calf
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Warm, red or discoloured skin
Causes and risk factors
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.
Cihangir: local notes for deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
Nightlife is the main draw in Cihangir, and the mix of heat, drinks and short sleep explains many of the morning-after calls to a doctor. Close by are Sirkeci, Laleli, Dolmabahce, which share the same medical services. Late nights and dehydration add to the risk after a long journey. Get a swollen, painful leg checked the same day.
Treatment options for deep vein thrombosis (dvt) in Cihangir
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The doctor can judge how likely it is, and will arrange an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person assessment, and advise where to go. Treatment can involve blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Tell the doctor about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Drink water and move around commonly on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
