Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, most commonly in the legs. If left untreated, the clot can travel to the lungs and cause a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

Common symptoms include swelling in one leg, pain or tenderness, warmth, redness or discoloration of the skin, and leg cramps. Some people may have no symptoms.

DVT can be caused by prolonged immobility, surgery, injury, pregnancy, inherited clotting disorders, certain medications, cancer, obesity, or smoking.

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, Doppler ultrasound, D-dimer blood test, and, in some cases, CT or MR venography and additional blood clotting tests.

Treatment may include blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants), thrombolytic therapy in selected cases, compression stockings, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing monitoring to prevent complications.
