About deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, mostly in the leg. Since it can move to the lungs, it requires prompt assessment, commonly with an ultrasound.
What can cause deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
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.

Trip for travellers: Mecidiyekoy is best explored on foot, with cafes, markets and historic sights close together. Allow time for shopping and use ferries or taxis between sights.
Care and treatment for deep vein thrombosis (dvt)
A video visit cannot diagnose a clot. The physician evaluates the likelihood, organises an urgent leg ultrasound and in-person examination, and tells you where to go. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest blood-thinning medicine started after the clot has been confirmed by a scan.
- Do not massage or rub the painful leg
- Drink water and move around frequently on long journeys to lower the risk
- Do not wait: arrange an assessment the same day
- Tell the physician about recent flights, surgery or immobility
