Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, may be a grume that forms during a vein deep within the body. Most deep vein clots occur within the lower leg or thigh. If the vein swells, the condition is named thrombophlebitis. A deep vein thrombosis can break loose and cause a significant problem within the lung, called a embolism.

Sitting still for a long time can make you more likely to get a DVT. Some medicines and disorders that increase your risk for blood clots also can cause DVTs. Common symptoms are

Warmth and tenderness over the vein

Pain or swelling in the part of the body affected

Skin redness

Treatment includes medicines to ease pain and inflammation, hack clots and keep new clots from forming. Keeping the affected area raised and applying moist heat also can help. If you're taking an extended car or plane trip, take an opportunity, walk or stretch your legs and drink many liquids.
