Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) explained
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, normally in the leg. It is serious since the clot can travel to the lungs, so it needs urgent assessment, often with an ultrasound scan.
Common triggers
Staying still for long periods (flights, coach trips, bed rest), recent surgery or injury, pregnancy, hormonal medicines, dehydration, smoking and previous clots increase the likelihood.
Typical symptoms
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Heaviness or tenderness along the vein
- Swelling in one leg, typically the calf
- Warm, red or discoloured skin
- Pain or cramp in the calf

Care and treatment for deep vein thrombosis (dvt)

- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
- Drink water and move around often on long journeys to lower the risk
