Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
DVT is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. It can be life-threatening if the clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.
Common Symptoms
- Swelling in the affected leg
- Pain or tenderness in the leg
- Warmth in the affected leg
- Redness or discolored skin
- Often asymptomatic
