Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) explained
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, mostly in the leg. It is serious because the clot can travel to the lungs, so it needs urgent assessment, commonly with an ultrasound scan.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in Denizli: what to know locally

How deep vein thrombosis (dvt) is treated
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 physician may suggest blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Drink water and move around often on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
