Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a medical condition that occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more of the body's deep veins, typically in the legs.
DVT is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention because if left untreated, the blood clot can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism (PE).
Certain medical conditions, such as cancer, heart failure, or a blood clotting disorder, can increase the risk of developing DVT. Being immobile for an extended period of time, such as during long-distance travel or bed rest due to a procedure, illness, or injury, can also increase the risk of DVT.
Other factors that may contribute to the development of DVT include obesity, smoking, and taking hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills.

The symptoms of DVT include:

• Leg pain
• Swelling
• Discoloured skin on the affected leg

However, some people with DVT may not experience any symptoms. If you suspect you may have DVT or experience any life-threatening symptoms of PE, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or coughing up blood, seek immediate medical attention.
