About 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 Kundu
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The doctor assesses the likelihood, organises an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person examination, and tells you where to go. Options may include blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- 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
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
