About Deep Vein Thrombosis in Kolkata
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition in which a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body, most commonly in the legs, obstructing normal blood flow. This can cause pain, swelling, and warmth in the affected limb, and poses a serious risk because part of the clot can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. It often develops after prolonged immobility, surgery, or in association with conditions that increase blood clotting tendency. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to prevent life-threatening complications.
