Why deep vein thrombosis (dvt) happens

- Pain or cramp in the calf
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Swelling in one leg, normally the calf
- Warm, red or discoloured skin
What is deep vein thrombosis (dvt)?
A clot in a deep leg vein is called deep vein thrombosis. It is serious because the clot can travel to the lungs, so it needs urgent assessment, frequently with an ultrasound scan.
Getting deep vein thrombosis (dvt) treated in Dikili
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. Options may include blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
- Drink water and move around frequently on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
