thrombosis in a vein lying deep below the skin, especially in the legs, often precipitated by immobility during illness or long-distance travel. A blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs. This condition is serious because blood clots can loosen and lodge in the lungs. Leg pain or swelling may occur, but there may be no symptoms. Treatments include medication and use of compression stockings.

2.  Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Occurs
When A Blood Clot (Thrombus) Forms In
One Or More Of The Deep Veins In Your
Body, Usually In Your Legs.
 Deep Vein Thrombosis Can Cause Leg
Pain Or Swelling But Also Can Occur With
No Symptoms.
 Deep Vein Thrombosis Otherwise Called
As (Dvt).

3.  Thrombosis Means The Blood Has Clotted In A Blood Vessel. In The Leg
Veins, Clots Can Form In The Superficial Veins (Phlebitis) Or In The Deep
Veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis, DVT).
 Veins Develop Bloods Clots From Injuries, Immobilization, Such As Being
Bedridden Or Sitting A Long Time In A Car Or Plane, Certain Infections,
Over-active Blood Clotting Disorders, Cancer, Or Sometimes For No Known
Reason.
 Pregnancy, Female Hormones And Birth Control Pills, Smoking, And Being
Overweight Are Risk Factors. Untreated Venous Insufficiency And Varicose
Veins Make Blood Clots More Likely As Well.
 There May Be Pain, Swelling, Or Redness, But There May Be No Symptoms
At All.

4.  Swelling In The Affected Leg. Rarely,
There's Swelling In Both Legs.
 Pain In Your Leg. The Pain Often Starts In
Your Calf And Can Feel Like Cramping Or
Soreness.
 Red Or Discolored Skin On The Leg.
 A Feeling Of Warmth In The Affected Leg.
 Deep Vein Thrombosis Can Occur Without
Noticeable Symptoms.

7.  Age
 Sitting For Long Periods Of Time, Such As When Driving Or Flying
 Prolonged Bed Rest, Such As During A Long Hospital Stay, Or Paralysis
 Injury Or Surgery
 Pregnancy
 Birth Control Pills (Oral Contraceptives) Or Hormone Replacement Therapy
 OBESITY
 Smoking
 Cancer
 Heart Failure
 Inflammatory Bowel Disease
 A Personal Or Family History Of DVT Or PE
 Genetics
 Not Known Risk Factors

8.  Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
 PE Is A Potentially Life-threatening Complication
Associated With DVT.
 It Occurs When A Blood Vessel In Your Lung
Becomes Blocked By A Blood Clot (Thrombus)
That Travels To Your Lung From Another Part Of
Your Body, Usually Your Leg.
 It's Important To Get Immediate Medical Help If
You Have Signs And Symptoms Of Pe.
 Sudden Shortness Of Breath, Chest Pain While
Inhaling Or Coughing, Rapid Breathing, Rapid
Pulse, Feeling Faint Or Fainting, And Coughing Up
Blood May Occur With A Pe.

9. Postphlebitic syndrome
 Damage to your veins from the blood clot
reduces blood flow in the affected areas,
causing leg pain and swelling, skin
discoloration and skin sores.
Treatment complications
 Complications may result from blood thinners
used to treat DVTs. Bleeding (hemorrhage) is
a worrisome side effect of blood thinners. It's
important to have regular blood tests while
taking such medications.

10.  D-dimer Blood Test. D Dimer Is A Type Of
Protein Produced By Blood Clots. Almost
All People With Severe DVT Have
Increased Blood Levels Of D Dimer. A
Normal Result On A D-dimer Test Often
Can Help Rule Out PE.

11.  This noninvasive test uses sound waves to
create pictures of how blood flows through
your veins. It's the standard test for
diagnosing DVT.
 For the test, a technician gently moves a
small hand-held device (transducer) on your
skin over the body area being studied.
 Sometimes a series of ultrasounds are done
over several days to determine whether a
blood clot is growing or to check for a new
one.

12.  A Dye Is Injected Into A Large Vein In Your
Foot Or Ankle. An X-ray Creates An Image Of
The Veins In Your Legs And Feet, To Look
For Clots.
 The Test Is Invasive, So It's Rarely
Performed. Other Tests, Such As Ultrasound,
Often Are Done First.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Mri) Scan
 This Test May Be Done To Diagnose Dvt In
Veins Of The Abdomen.

13.  Blood thinners
 Clot-busters
 Filters
 Compression stockings

14. Blood Thinners
 These Drugs, Also Called Anticoagulants,
Are The Most Common Treatment
For DVT.
 They Can Keep A Clot From Growing Or
Breaking Off, And They Prevent New Clots
From Forming.
 But They Can't Thin Your Blood, Despite
Their Name. And They Won’t Get Rid Of
An Existing Clot.

15.  Apixaban (Eliquis)
 Betrixaban (Bevyxxa)
 Dabigatran (Pradaxa)
 Edoxaban (Savaysa)
 Fondaparinux (Arixtra)
 Heparin
 Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)
 Warfarin

16.  IV Clot Busters, Or Thrombolytics, Are
Medications Placed Directly Into
The Clot During A Minimally Invasive
Procedure.
 They're Designed To Quickly
Dissolve Clots, Restore Blood Flow, And
May Help Prevent Damage To The Valves
In Your Vein, Which Can Cause Post-
thrombotic Syndrom.

17.  If You’re At High Risk For DVT,
Wearing Compression Stockings Can
Prevent Swelling And Might Lower Your
Chance Of Developing Clots.
 Compression Stockings Reach Just Below
Your Knee Or Right Above It. Your Doctor
May Recommend You Wear These Every
Day.

18.  You Might Need To Have A Filter Put Inside The Large
Abdominal Vein Called The Vena Cava If You Aren’t Able To
Take Blood Thinners.
 This Form Of Treatment Helps Prevent Pulmonary Embolisms
By Stopping Clots From Entering Your Lungs.
 But Filters Do Have Risks. If They’re Left In For Too Long, They
Can Actually Cause DVT.
 Filters Should Be Used For A Short-term Period, Until The Risk
Of Thromboembolism Is Reduced And Blood Thinning
Medications Can Be Used.

19.  Keep Your Bp Under Control
 Maintain Your Bodyweight
 Giveup On Smoking
 Avoid Liquor Intake
 Take Healthy Diet
 Add Natural Foods In Your Diet
 Regular Walking
 Do Daily Excersize & Yoga
 Don’t Sit Long Time And Give A Small Walk
Or Make Some Stretches .
